[Schedule a Call](https://velero.consulting/meetings/kenpomella/meet-with-velero?hsLang=en) ## How our practice is organized Velero's practice has two halves. Assessments find and prove where you stand: against a framework, against an attacker, or against the risk in a deal. Each assessment ends with evidence and a prioritized plan, written for the people who must act on it. Advisory builds and leads the program. It covers the policies, controls, architecture and leadership that turn assessment findings into a security posture an independent auditor can verify. ## Assessments Five assessment services that test your controls, code, cloud and third parties against a named standard. - ### [Compliance Advisory & Assessments Gap assessments and audit readiness for HIPAA, FISMA, NIST, SOX, SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS and HITRUST, with remediation support through to independent audit.

The report, certification or authorization comes from an independent assessor, and we work alongside that assessor. - ### Senior-led delivery Experienced practitioners scope each engagement, run the technical work and present the findings. - ### Remediation support A findings list is only the start. We help you write policies, fix controls and collect evidence until the gaps are closed. - ### Plain-English reporting Every report separates what an executive must decide from what an engineer must fix, and states the risk in business terms. ## Working toward CMMC? Two ways to start on your own, today. [See the CMMC readiness assessment →](https://velero.consulting/cmmc-readiness-assessment?hsLang=en) - ### Not sure where you stand?

No. A SOC 2 report is an attestation issued by an independent CPA firm, and certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 come from accredited certification bodies. Velero prepares you for those audits and works alongside the independent assessor. Which service should we start with? Start with the question you need answered. If a customer or regulator requires a framework, begin with Compliance Advisory & Assessments or Public Sector Advisory. If you need to know how exposed you are to attack, begin with penetration testing. Can we combine several services in one engagement? Yes. Many programs pair an assessment with advisory support, for example a gap assessment followed by remediation guidance, or a penetration test alongside a secure development review. We scope the combination as one plan with a single point of contact. Do you help with CMMC? Yes. Public Sector Advisory covers readiness for Levels 1, 2 and 3. If you want to start on your own, take the free readiness quiz or run a preliminary assessment in the self-service app. ## *Let's talk*Ready to secure your business?
