Program Maturity Assessment
Security Program Maturity Assessments provide a comprehensive security program assessment using our Seiso 10-Domains of Security to identify areas of weakness and develop a tailored strategy with an implementation roadmap that provides your team with a clear and actionable plan to improve your security program.
Seiso will review existing documentation and lead your team through a systematic assessment methodology using the Seiso 10-Domains Assessment Framework consisting of whiteboarding sessions and analytical exercises to understand the organization’s current state, unique risk landscape, and regulatory commitments.
During these assessments, Seiso will also conduct a security configuration review of your technology infrastructure environment, and security tooling.
Technical Security Assessment
Technical Security Assessments provide a security configuration review of your technology infrastructure environment, and security tooling. Seiso conducts structured configuration reviews using interactive workshops and asynchronous environment assessments that includes a review of documentation, stakeholder interviews, Managed Service Provider (MSP) interviews, and an analysis of current security practices in place.
Technical security assessments include a detailed report with findings, actionable remediation recommendations, and an overall assessment of your security posture supported by an executive summary, technical evidence, and guidance to strengthen compliance, configurations, and long-term risk management.
What you get:
- An actionable report summarizing findings and recommendations that provides insights to improve necessary compliance and configuration controls and protect your environment.
- An executive summary that briefly describes the overall engagement and assessment outcome.
- Remediation recommendations relevant to your operations and technical environment.
Threat and Vulnerability Assessment
Seiso conducts vulnerability assessments as part of a broader threat-informed process. We start by helping you understand what threats are relevant to your environment, then assess what you’re actually vulnerable to, resulting in a more accurate picture of technical to business aligned risk.
We identify and validate weaknesses in your systems, configurations, and infrastructure, then prioritize findings based on exploitability and business impact. Our team provides clear remediation guidance and ties findings back to your risk register, helping you take action that aligns with your tolerance and security goals.
This assessment gives your team the visibility and clarity needed to reduce risk in a practical, focused way.
Cloud Security Assessment
Safeguarding your cloud environment starts with a deep understanding of your current security posture. Seiso’s Cloud Security Assessments provide a comprehensive analysis that evaluates both cloud readiness and the maturity of your cloud infrastructure. Whether you’re preparing to migrate to the cloud or looking to optimize an existing cloud environment, our assessment services offer the insights and action steps needed to strengthen your security framework.
SOC 2 Readiness Assessment
The first step toward achieving a SOC 2 attestation is to conduct a Readiness Assessment. The Assessment generates output which identifies the necessary controls required to establish an auditable program that meets the criteria set forth by the Trust Service Criteria in TSP 100, 2017 Trust Services Criteria for Security, Availability,
Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy (With Revised Points of Focus—2022). The Trust Services Criteria selected for this Readiness Assessment will include the Security and Privacy, (collectively “the applicable criteria”).
The information obtained from the Readiness Assessment is used to ensure sufficient controls are identified to meet the applicable criteria and to identify any gaps or weaknesses. The goal is to establish a program that will be subject to the audit’s scrutiny.
ISO 27001 Certification Readiness
We offer a hyper-focused service to get you audit-ready in six months with certification in hand in twelve.
Our assessment evaluate your system of processes, as well as the administrative and technical controls currently in place. ISO 27001 assessments typically include detailed review of ISMS documentation, and in-depth examination and analysis of key aspects of the ISMS in interactive workshop with your team.
We will also develop actionable reports that prioritize specific opportunities with recommended roadmaps for remediation and ongoing compliance with the ISO 27001:2022 standard.
CMMC Readiness
Strategic guidance and in-depth assessment on the cybersecurity controls, processes, and best practices required to meet CMMC Level 2 standards. Our balanced risk-based approach provides a readiness score across CMMC L2 controls such as security tooling, IT management services, internal access control, training requirements, CUI handling, and governance documentation.
Gain a clearer understanding of the technical and operational measures necessary to maintain CMMC compliance. Make informed decisions for investment in security controls, and long-term strategy for compliance-readiness in the defense supply chain.
Application Penetration Testing
Seiso performs targeted, human-led penetration testing to help you uncover vulnerabilities, understand how they align to your security framework, and prioritize what to fix. We don’t stop at delivering a list of issues. We work with you to understand why those issues exist, how they reflect deeper gaps in your program, and what actions are needed to reduce exposure.
Our testing process supports audit readiness, informs remediation planning, and feeds directly into broader security improvements. When needed, we connect the findings to risk register entries, policy updates, or program-level changes.
Tools Assessment and Rationalization
Seiso helps you evaluate your current security tools, identify overlap, and make smart decisions about what to keep, replace, or retire. Our team conducts a structured review to reduce redundancy, eliminate shelfware, and ensure your tooling supports your actual processes.
We help you consolidate platforms, streamline costs, and increase the effectiveness of what you already have. The result is a security stack that’s simpler, leaner, and better aligned to your team’s goals.
Comprehensive and Simplified Approach
Seiso’s approach is built on a thorough process aligned with a variety of industry best practices and frameworks, including NIST CSF, 800-171, 800-53, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2, CMMC Levels 1 and 2, and CIS. We simplify the process for our customers by quickly gathering and analyzing information about the environment and its risks, then turning these insights into actionable remediation steps.
