Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Services

Stay Secure, Stay Compliant – Protect Your Business with Confidence

Cyber threats and compliance requirements are constantly evolving, and staying ahead can feel overwhelming. At Gray Beard Cybersecurity, we simplify the process by guiding you through Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks. Whether you're working with the Department of Defense, federal agencies, or international markets, we help you meet the strictest security standards, including:

NIST 800-171 – Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems.
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) – Meeting critical DoD contractor security requirements.
FedRAMP – Ensuring cloud security for federal agencies.
ISO 27001 – Building a globally recognized Information Security Management System (ISMS).

We're here to eliminate the confusion, reduce risk, and ensure you're fully prepared for compliance audits.

NIST 800-171: Protect Your Data, Win More Contracts

If your business handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you're required to comply with NIST 800-171 under DFARS 7012. Failure to do so could mean losing government contracts—or worse, exposing sensitive data to cyber threats. Our team provides:

Gap Assessments to uncover vulnerabilities and compliance shortfalls.
System Security Plans (SSP) and Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&M) to guide your compliance efforts.
Hands-on remediation to align your security with the 110 required NIST controls.
Employee training to ensure that your team understands and follows compliance best practices.
Continuous monitoring solutions to maintain compliance and adapt to evolving threats.

With us by your side, you'll have a clear roadmap to compliance and stronger security in place, giving you the confidence to bid on and secure government contracts.

CMMC Certification: Be Ready Before It's Too Late

CMMC 2.0 is reshaping the way DoD contractors handle security. If you want to keep or win government contracts, compliance isn't optional—it's a necessity. The latest version of CMMC introduces three levels of certification, and each comes with its own set of requirements. We help you:

Understand your required CMMC level (1, 2, or 3) and what it means for your business.
Conduct a pre-assessment to determine your current security posture.
Develop and implement a remediation plan to close compliance gaps before an official audit.
Establish long-term security protocols that ensure compliance is maintained beyond certification.
Navigate third-party and self-assessments so you're fully prepared when it's time to certify.

Waiting until the last minute could cost you contracts and partnerships—take proactive steps now to stay ahead of compliance deadlines and requirements.

FedRAMP Compliance: Secure Your Cloud, Earn Government Trust

For Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) that want to work with federal agencies, FedRAMP compliance is non-negotiable. Without it, your cloud services won't be considered for government contracts. Our expert consultants help you:

Understand the requirements for FedRAMP Low, Moderate, or High.
Develop security documentation required for authorization.
Implement cloud security controls that align with federal standards.
Prepare for third-party assessments (3PAO) to ensure you meet compliance before formal certification.
Maintain compliance through continuous monitoring and updates to your security framework.

FedRAMP isn't just about security—it's about proving your trustworthiness to government clients and opening new revenue opportunities in the federal space.

ISO 27001: Global Recognition for Security Excellence

ISO 27001 is the international gold standard for information security management. Achieving this certification demonstrates to clients, partners, and regulators that your organization takes cybersecurity seriously. Our services include:

Comprehensive risk assessments to identify security weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Development of policies, procedures, and documentation to ensure ISO 27001 compliance.
Implementation of security controls that align with ISO 27001 Annex A.
Support through internal and external audits to help you pass with confidence.
Ongoing advisory services to maintain compliance and adapt to new security challenges.

ISO 27001 certification isn't just a piece of paper—it's a strategic advantage that builds trust with customers and sets you apart from competitors in global markets.
