01 · Scope and assess
We scope the target framework and run a gap assessment against your current controls, policies, and evidence.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Compliance Readiness & Certification
End-to-end compliance readiness for ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and CMMC.
- 12 to 36 weeks Fixed-fee engagement, scoped to a single framework
- 6 Frameworks supported, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA and CMMC
- 1 Internal audit dry run before the real one
The challenge
Certification does not just prove security maturity. Rather, it opens doors regulators and customers are increasingly closing to organizations without it. Non-compliance can significantly increase the cost of a breach, on top of any regulatory fine.
Approach
How the engagement works
02 · Build and remediate
Policies and procedures are authored, and remediation is tracked through a defined readiness gate.
03 · Liaise through certification
We run an internal readiness review, then support you through your framework's certification or assessment process.

Why Gruve
Most firms help you prepare for an audit
Gruve gets you through it
A gap assessment on its own does not get you certified. Compliance Readiness carries you from scoping through policy authoring, evidence collection, an internal dry run, and direct liaison with your auditor, against one framework at a time, done properly.
