Cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance consulting.

Cybersecurity Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

Effective security starts with governance. We help organizations establish, improve, and maintain cybersecurity governance and compliance programs — giving leadership clear visibility into risk and a defensible foundation for decisions.

Key Capabilities

• Cybersecurity governance program development
• Governance structures, roles, and oversight
• Risk register development and management
• Security control assessments
• Risk and compliance reporting
• KPI and KRI development
• Cybersecurity roadmap and program development
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework alignment

Cybersecurity Risk Assessments

You can't manage risk you haven't measured. Our cybersecurity risk assessments show where your organization is exposed, how likely and how damaging each risk is, and which actions will reduce it most — giving leadership a clear, prioritized picture to act on.

Key Capabilities

• Enterprise IT and cybersecurity risk assessments
• Cybersecurity maturity assessments (NIST CSF 2.0)
• Threat, vulnerability, and control-gap analysis
• Risk scoring and prioritization by business impact
• Risk treatment and remediation planning
• Risk register updates and risk ownership
• Executive-ready risk reporting

Third-Party & Vendor Risk Management

Your vendors and service providers extend your attack surface. We help you identify, assess, and manage the cybersecurity risk they introduce — with consistent evaluation criteria, clear risk ratings, and remediation that is tracked to closure.

Key Capabilities

• Third-party cybersecurity risk assessments
• Vendor security due diligence
• Vendor risk classification and scoring
• SOC 2 report reviews
• Third-party risk management program development
• Vendor remediation tracking
• Ongoing third-party risk monitoring

SOX IT General Controls & Audit Readiness

Audits are less disruptive when you are prepared. We help organizations prepare for SOX IT General Controls (ITGC) reviews and other IT audits — understanding their obligations, closing gaps before the auditors arrive, and maintaining documentation that clearly demonstrates control effectiveness.

Key Capabilities

• SOX IT General Controls (ITGC) readiness
• IT compliance gap assessments
• Audit preparation and remediation support
• ITGC control design, testing, and evidence preparation
• Regulatory compliance advisory
• NIST framework assessments
• Internal control effectiveness reviews

CMMC & NIST SP 800-171 Readiness

Defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information face rigorous federal cybersecurity requirements. We help you understand where you stand against NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC, document your security posture, and build a realistic plan to close gaps before your formal assessment.

RMSS provides readiness consulting. We are not a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) and do not conduct certification assessments or issue CMMC certifications.

Key Capabilities

• CMMC readiness assessments
• NIST SP 800-171 gap assessments
• Security control documentation
• System Security Plan (SSP) development support
• Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) development
• Remediation planning
• Compliance readiness consulting

Cybersecurity Policies & Control Frameworks

Clear, enforceable policies are the foundation of a defensible security program. We develop and refresh cybersecurity policies, standards, and procedures, and align your controls to the frameworks your customers, auditors, and regulators expect.

Key Capabilities

• Cybersecurity policy, standard, and procedure development
• Policy gap reviews and updates
• Control framework alignment — NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, ISO/IEC 27001, and CIS Controls
• Control mapping across multiple frameworks
• Control matrices, ownership, and evidence planning
• Security awareness program advisory

AI Governance & Risk Management

Artificial intelligence creates new opportunities and new risks — around data protection, accuracy, accountability, and third-party dependence. We help organizations put governance in place so AI can be adopted responsibly, securely, and in line with emerging expectations.

Key Capabilities

• AI governance framework development
• AI use-case risk assessments
• Responsible AI policy development
• AI vendor risk evaluations
• Technology risk assessments
• AI security and compliance advisory

Cloud Security Governance & Compliance

Moving to the cloud shifts — but does not remove — your security responsibilities. We assess cloud environments and providers against security and governance expectations and deliver clear, prioritized recommendations to strengthen your cloud posture.

Key Capabilities

• Cloud security risk assessments
• Cloud governance and compliance reviews
• Cloud security control evaluations
• Cloud vendor risk assessments
• Security configuration and policy reviews
• Cloud risk remediation recommendations
