Gap analysis, evidence matrices, and control-design review against the framework you have to answer to. We find the gaps, then hand back the plan.
The call
The policies exist, spread across three drives and two document systems. Half the controls live in one engineer’s head, and the framework spreadsheet stopped matching production two reorgs ago.
Your team knows the environment better than any outsider will. What they don’t have is a spare quarter to map every control to the artifact that proves it. One boundary to be clear about: IZT TECH is not an auditor or a certifying body. An accredited third party does that work. Our job is making sure nothing in that room is a surprise.
What you get
A written gap analysis against the framework you answer to: HIPAA, PCI-DSS (the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls), CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) readiness, or the security requirements your largest client wrote into the contract. Findings are ranked by what an assessor asks for first.
Every control mapped to the artifact that proves it, and a straight list of the ones nothing proves yet. Evidence collection becomes a task list your team can work through instead of a scramble.
Where a control is designed in a way evidence can’t support, we say so early, while there is still time to redesign it rather than explain it.
Policy and procedure documentation an assessor can follow, a remediation roadmap in the order the work should actually happen, and preparation for the questions your auditor is going to ask.
How we work
We start from the framework you have to answer to and the date you have to answer by, then work backward. Scope and deliverables go in writing before anyone opens a spreadsheet, and the engagement has an end.
Every readiness engagement is a different size, so the deliverable and the date it lands are agreed before the work starts. When the next phase belongs to your team, we say so, hand over the plan, and step back.
Named engagements and signed deliverables, with no other firm’s logo on the cover. You know which consultants did the work and can ask them about a finding a year later.
Why independent matters
We review the control design, find what nothing proves yet, and hand the plan back to your team to work through. Where a control already holds up under its own evidence, we say so and move on, because you are being measured by an assessor rather than by us.
The work also carries our name. A readiness deliverable gets shown to auditors, to enterprise clients and to boards. A document nobody will sign is easy for the other side to wave away. Ours is one you can put in front of the people asking.
Where we hand off
Some obligations are telecom-specific, and those are not ours: STIR/SHAKEN caller-ID authentication, E911 (enhanced 911) location accuracy, 10DLC (10-digit long code) messaging registration, and telecom tax remittance. They belong to our sister division IZT CLOUD, and we will point you there rather than guess. Where a gap turns out to be a security-architecture problem rather than a documentation one, that work sits with our cybersecurity practice.
The rest of the practice
Tell us the decision you’re trying to make. We’ll tell you whether it’s an engagement, a referral to one of our sister divisions, or something you don’t need us for.
We’re here for you, so you can focus on what matters.
