Compliance Readiness
Get Audit-Ready Without Building a Compliance Team
Compliance requirements are no longer limited to enterprise organizations. Businesses with 20 to 200 employees face real compliance pressure: from cyber insurers demanding documented controls, from enterprise clients requiring SOC 2 or CMMC before signing contracts, from regulations like HIPAA that apply based on the data you handle, not the size of your company.
CyberWarrior's Compliance Readiness engagement prepares your business for the specific framework that matters most to you right now. We assess your current controls, identify every gap between where you are and where you need to be, build the documentation package required for your target framework, and deliver a remediation roadmap that gets you to audit-ready as efficiently as possible.
Frameworks We Support
SOC 2 Type I Readiness
SOC 2 is the most common compliance requirement for SaaS companies and technology service providers. Customers and enterprise clients increasingly require a SOC 2 report before signing. We assess your environment against the Trust Service Criteria, identify control gaps, and produce the documentation and evidence package needed for your Type I audit.
What's Included
Phase 1: Scoping and Discovery
3-4 hours, client-facing
- Identification of the specific framework requirements applicable to your business
- Scoping of your environment: which systems, data flows, and processes are in scope for the target framework
- Review of existing controls, policies, and documentation
- Structured interviews with owner, IT lead, and relevant operations or compliance contacts
Phase 2: Gap Analysis
Internal, 12-18 hours
- Control-by-control assessment against your target framework's requirements
- Identification of every gap between your current state and what the framework requires
- Risk ranking of gaps by likelihood of audit failure or regulatory exposure
- Evidence inventory: what you have that satisfies requirements, what is missing, and what needs to be created
Phase 3: Remediation and Documentation
Internal plus client collaboration, 8-12 hours
- Development of required policies and procedures where gaps exist
- Compilation of evidence package for controls already in place
- Remediation roadmap prioritized by audit timeline and implementation effort
- Templates and documentation your team can maintain after the engagement closes
Phase 4: Deliverable
- Complete gap assessment report mapped to your target framework
- Documentation package: policies, procedures, and evidence organized for auditor review
- Remediation roadmap with owner assignments and timeline recommendations
- 90-minute readout call with Q&A
- Optional: direct coordination with your auditor or insurance broker for pre-audit review
Business Value
- Audit-ready documentation built by practitioners who understand both the framework and the underlying security controls
- No compliance consultant who has never built a real security program telling you what policies to copy and paste
- Delivered on a timeline that fits your audit schedule or contract deadline
- Independent guidance not tied to any audit firm, tool vendor, or insurance product
Engagement Details
| Duration | Typically 3-6 weeks, scoped per framework and current state |
| Client time required | 4-6 hours total |
| Price | Starting at $9,500, scoped per framework |

Price varies by framework complexity and the current maturity of your documentation and controls. A business with existing policies and partial controls will require less effort than one starting from scratch.
