Cybersecurity Governance, Risk & Compliance

Governance, risk, and compliance that holds up when it's tested.

GRC built for the audit you haven't had yet.

PrismHarbor designs and operates GRC programs for organizations that can't afford ambiguity — mapping policy, risk, and evidence into one system, so audits, regulators, and boards get a consistent answer every time they ask.

140+ audits completed across financial services, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, and the public sector.

Common Challenges

What we're usually called in to fix

Most GRC problems aren't a framework problem — they're a connectivity problem. Evidence, ownership, and reporting were never linked in the first place.

01

Evidence rebuilt every audit cycle

Screenshots, spreadsheets, and email threads reassembled from scratch each season because nothing was kept current between audits.

See: Audit Readiness & Reporting
02

A risk register no one consults

Risk documentation exists, but it's disconnected from how decisions actually get made, so it's stale by the time anyone asks for it.

See: Risk Assessment & Management
03

The same control, proven five different ways

Each framework was implemented in its own silo, so identical controls get re-documented separately for every certification.

See: Regulatory Compliance Consulting
04

Findings that recur year over year

The same audit finding reappears because remediation was never assigned an owner or tracked to closure.

See: Governance Program & Policy
05

A board that can't get a straight answer

Leadership asks how exposed the organization is and receives a forty-slide deck instead of a clear, defensible answer.

See: Governance Program & Policy
06

AI in production, ungoverned

Teams are already running AI models and agentic tools with no policy, ownership, or control set covering them.

See: AI & Emerging Tech Governance
Our Services

Nine services. One discipline.

Every engagement we run is a GRC engagement — including where AI governance and EU operational resilience law now sit in the stack.

§01

Governance Program & Policy

For organizations where policy exists, but no one is accountable for it.

Policy architecture and decision rights that make security accountable to a named owner, plus board and executive reporting leadership can act on.

  • Policy & standards architecture
  • Security steering committees
  • Board & executive reporting
DELIVERABLE: Governance charter, named policy owners, board reporting template.
§02

Risk Assessment & Management

For organizations where the risk register is a spreadsheet no one opens.

Enterprise-wide risk and security-posture assessments that produce a register leadership reads, with treatment plans that get funded.

  • Security & risk posture assessments
  • Enterprise risk registers
  • Third-party & vendor risk review
DELIVERABLE: A live risk register with owners, dates, and a funded treatment plan.
§03

Regulatory Compliance Consulting

For organizations where every framework means proving the same control again.

Framework alignment across the regulations that apply to you — mapped once against a shared control set, maintained continuously.

  • PCI DSS, GDPR & HIPAA alignment
  • ISO 27001, SOC 2 & NIST readiness
  • Cross-framework control mapping
DELIVERABLE: One control matrix mapped to every framework you carry.
§04

Audit Readiness & Reporting

For organizations where the same finding shows up two years running.

Gap assessments and evidence packaged the way auditors expect, with a remediation roadmap and support through the audit itself.

  • Compliance readiness reviews
  • Gap analysis & remediation roadmaps
  • Findings tracking to closure
DELIVERABLE: A closed finding list and evidence ready before the audit is scheduled.
§05

Data Privacy & Regulatory Alignment

For organizations where the privacy policy hasn't matched reality in a year.

Privacy programs built to hold up under regulatory scrutiny, kept current as the business actually changes.

  • Data privacy program design
  • Regulatory gap & impact review
  • Records of processing & data mapping
DELIVERABLE: A privacy program that matches what the business actually does.
§06

Continuous Compliance Monitoring

For organizations where "audit-ready" lasts one week a year.

GRC as an ongoing program, not an annual fire drill — controls tracked and evidence refreshed continuously.

  • Continuous control monitoring
  • Regulatory change tracking
  • Recurring compliance reporting
DELIVERABLE: Evidence that's always current, not assembled once a year.
§07

AI & Emerging Tech Governance

For organizations where production AI has no policy, owner, or control set.

Governance for the models and agentic tools already running in your business, mapped to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act.

  • AI use-case inventory & risk tiering
  • NIST AI RMF & ISO 42001 alignment
  • Model & vendor AI due diligence
DELIVERABLE: An AI risk inventory and a governance policy someone actually owns.
§08

ICT & Third-Party Resilience

For organizations where a critical vendor outage becomes their outage.

Operational resilience and third-party risk work built for DORA and NIS2 — exit strategies and incident reporting that meets EU windows.

  • DORA ICT risk management alignment
  • NIS2 board accountability & scoping
  • Critical third-party exit strategies
DELIVERABLE: A resilience program that meets EU notification deadlines.
§09

Regulatory Horizon Scanning

For organizations where a new regulation lands and the program finds out last.

Ongoing tracking of incoming rules — AI Act phase-ins, DORA updates, sector rulemaking — translated into program changes before enforcement.

  • Regulatory change monitoring
  • Applicability & impact assessment
  • Executive briefings on what's changing
DELIVERABLE: A heads-up on what's coming, months before it's due.
Framework Coverage

Nine frameworks, one shared control set

Current controls and evidence templates on file for each — ready before an audit is scheduled, not built after.

Our Approach

How an engagement runs

No skipping ahead — you can't quantify a risk before it's been scoped, or monitor a control before it exists.

1

Scope & Gap Assessment

Every gap named in writing before remediation starts.

2

Remediation & Control Build

Policies and controls tied to a named owner and clause.

3

Evidence & Audit

Evidence packaged per framework; we're in the room with you.

4

Monitoring & Attestation

Controls stay current, so re-certification is a formality.

Client Outcomes

Selected engagements

Client details anonymized to protect confidentiality.

Healthcare Network · HIPAA

Sixteen facilities, one shared policy set. The breach-notification runbook was tested under real conditions three months after delivery — and held.

RESULT: Zero critical findings. Regulatory inquiry closed, no action.
Series C Fintech · SOC 2

A first SOC 2 attempt had stalled for a year on evidence gaps. We rebuilt the control set and closed the audit in eleven weeks.

RESULT: Clean Type II report, first attempt.
Manufacturer · ISO 27001 + NIST

Two frameworks run against one control set instead of two, cutting the annual audit workload roughly in half.

RESULT: Certified. CSF maturity up two tiers.
Why PrismHarbor

Framework-agnostic, outcome-focused

Independent advisory

We don't resell a platform or a specific framework — recommendations aren't tied to a license.

One control set, every framework

Controls are mapped once and reused, so certifications compound instead of duplicating effort.

Certified practitioners

Engagement leads hold CISSP, CISA, CRISC, and CIPP/E credentials, not just platform training.

Continuous, not annual

Programs are built to stay current between audits, so re-certification is routine, not a scramble.
