Security is built into every Modern Technology Partnership. Our security team designs your controls, watches your environment around the clock, and owns the response when something looks wrong. Penetration testing is available as an add-on.
IronGate is our CMMC practice for defense contractors and their suppliers, covering CMMC and DFARS requirements. We start by finding where Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information actually live, so you only pay to protect what your contracts require. Then we carry you through remediation, assessment, and annual affirmation.
Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) is the work of turning a framework into policies, controls, and evidence an auditor will accept. We help you figure out which frameworks apply, find the gaps, close them, and keep the documentation current.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is the Department of War's program for verifying that defense contractors protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Level 1 covers basic safeguarding of FCI with an annual self-assessment. Level 2 applies the 110 requirements of NIST SP 800-171 to CUI and, for most contracts, requires an assessment by a C3PAO.
DFARS is the contract side of the same requirement. DFARS 252.204-7012 requires contractors to safeguard covered defense information and report cyber incidents to the DoW within 72 hours, and related clauses require a NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment score in SPRS.
How we help
SOC 2 is an attestation report, issued by an independent CPA firm, showing how a service organization protects customer data against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. A Type I report looks at how controls are designed at a point in time. A Type II report tests how they operate over a period, usually several months.
How we help
The HIPAA Security Rule requires healthcare providers, health plans, and their business associates to protect electronic protected health information with administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. A documented, current risk analysis is the required starting point.
How we help
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard applies to any business that accepts card payments. What's required depends on transaction volume and how card data moves through your systems, ranging from a self-assessment questionnaire to a full assessment by a qualified assessor.
How we help
ISO/IEC 27001 defines the requirements for an information security management system (ISMS). Certification comes from an accredited certification body and shows global customers and partners that security is run as an ongoing program, with defined risks, controls, and regular reviews.
How we help
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) gives any organization, in any industry, a common way to organize security around six functions: govern, identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. It is often the starting point for building a program that later maps to other frameworks.
How we help
The CIS Critical Security Controls, published by the Center for Internet Security, are a prioritized list of safeguards against the most common attacks. They are organized into 18 controls and three Implementation Groups, so smaller organizations can start with essential cyber hygiene and build from there.
How we help
Many organizations struggle with compliance because responsibility is split between internal staff, vendors, and documentation that no one actively owns. When audits or incidents occur, gaps surface quickly and accountability becomes unclear.
Executech provides centralized ownership of IT compliance controls so policies, systems, and evidence remain aligned and defensible over time.
Compliance frameworks define expectations for security, access control, monitoring, and documentation. Attempting to meet these requirements reactively often results in partial coverage and inconsistent enforcement.
Executech aligns IT environments to relevant compliance frameworks through standardized controls, documented policies, and ongoing validation, which includes:
Incomplete or inconsistent documentation increases audit stress and creates unnecessary risk. Compliance requires clear records that reflect how systems are configured, monitored, and maintained.
Executech maintains compliance documentation as a living system that evolves with the environment and remains audit ready. You can also expect:
Without clear reporting, leadership lacks visibility into compliance posture and emerging risks. This makes it difficult to prioritize remediation or demonstrate due diligence.
Executech provides reporting and oversight that clarifies risk exposure, control status, and remediation progress. This also includes:
Security incidents often trigger regulatory, insurance, and notification requirements. Without predefined processes, response efforts become chaotic and increase liability.
Executech supports incident response in compliance-driven environments by coordinating technical remediation and documentation required for regulatory follow-up. This also includes:
It's Executech's team for cybersecurity, Governance, Risk & Compliance, and CMMC work. It brings our security operations, compliance advisory, vCISO, and CMMC by IronGate practice together, so you get one plan and one point of accountability.
Governance is who owns security decisions and policies. Risk is knowing what could go wrong and how likely it is. Compliance is meeting the rules of a specific framework, like HIPAA, SOC 2, or CMMC, and proving it with evidence.
We help healthcare organizations and their business associates complete a HIPAA risk analysis, put Security Rule safeguards in place, and keep the documentation current.
No, and that's deliberate. We prepare you for the audit. The formal assessment comes from an independent party: a CPA firm for SOC 2, an accredited certification body for ISO 27001, or a C3PAO for CMMC Level 2. Keeping those roles separate avoids a conflict of interest.
No. Cybersecurity Advisory Services is available to all clients. Some engagements run as part of a Modern Technology Partnership with a vCISO agreement, and others are scoped as a project.
A vulnerability scan is automated and looks for known weaknesses across your systems. A penetration test is run by security professionals who try to exploit those weaknesses the way a real attacker would, showing what could actually happen and what to fix first.
It depends on your industry, your contracts, and the data you handle. Healthcare points to HIPAA, card payments to PCI-DSS, defense work to CMMC, and customer security reviews often to SOC 2. A gap analysis confirms exactly what applies before you spend on anything.
Yes. We prepare your environment and evidence, then support you through the audit your CPA firm, certification body, or assessor performs.
We write them with you. Policies only hold up if they match how your business actually operates, so we draft them and your team reviews them.
Most frameworks take 2 to 8 weeks, depending on the size of your infrastructure. CMMC takes longer: smaller environments typically need 4 to 8 months, and larger environments should plan for 6 to 18 months.
