Compliance that protects you.
Frameworks like SOC 2, ISO, and FedRAMP aren't just audit theater. They're the blueprint for real security. CWS maps your controls to standards that matter, automates evidence collection, and turns compliance into continuous practice.

Sound familiar?
we hear this a lot
- 01
Compliance as Annual Theater
You spend most of the year on other priorities and then scramble to prove your controls before the audit. Between audits, controls drift. No one knows if your security investments are meeting the frameworks you claim to follow.
- 02
Frameworks Are a Tower of Babel
NIST says do X. ISO says do Y. SOC 2 says do Z. FedRAMP adds three more layers. Your team gets paralyzed trying to satisfy six frameworks at once with conflicting requirements. Real security priorities get lost in the noise.
- 03
Manual Evidence Doesn't Scale
Every control requires proof: logs, API calls, configuration snapshots, attestations. Your team manually pulls this evidence from disparate systems. It's error-prone, slow, and breaks the moment you add a new system.
- 04
Vendor Risk Lives in a Spreadsheet
You have a list of vendors with names, attestations, and maybe a risk rating. That list is outdated before you finish creating it. Vendors change ownership, suffer breaches, rotate security teams, and you have no tooling to track it.
What we do
and how we help
Compliance Mapping and Control Design
We map your current controls to NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, PIPEDA, FedRAMP, and CIS Controls. One well-designed control can often satisfy several standards. We engineer efficiency into your program from day one.
Continuous Compliance Automation
We integrate Drata, Vanta, and your security tools so evidence is collected automatically. Logs flow in real time. Configuration changes trigger audits. By the time your auditor asks, the evidence is already validated.
Risk Assessment and Remediation
We conduct comprehensive risk assessments that map business context to framework requirements. We help you prioritize what to fix first based on your actual threat model and compliance deadline, then track remediation to closure.
Third-Party Risk Management
We monitor your vendor ecosystem using tools like Vanta and custom integrations. When a vendor suffers a breach, changes security personnel, or fails a control, we see it first and recommend actions.
Policy and Procedure Development
We write policies, procedures, and guidelines that your team can follow. Ours integrate with your tools, your workflows, and your culture. Your team lives them daily without thinking about it.
Team Training and Enablement
We train your team on frameworks, controls, and audit expectations. We embed subject matter experts in your organization so knowledge sticks and questions get answered in real time.
What sets us apart
why us
