This engagement includes: 1. Scope confirmation & audit plan: in-scope systems, boundaries, stakeholders, timeline, sampling approach 2. Evidence operations: evidence request tracking, collection, QA, and packaging aligned to audit expectations 3. Control narrative & documentation support: policies/standards/procedures, process narratives, control mapping, artifact finalization 4. Assessor/auditor coordination: meeting facilitation, request triage, status reporting, and audit liaison support 5. Testing readiness & remediation validation: test plan alignment, walkthrough prep, issue validation, and closure support 6. Executive-ready reporting: weekly status updates, risks/roadblocks, and remediation priorities Typical engagement options examples (Pricing $ ranges offered during initial consultation call): - PCI DSS Assessment Support (SAQ/ROC readiness-to-validation) — typically 6–10+ weeks - SOC 2 Audit Support (Type I / Type II) — duration varies by readiness and audit window - ISO 27001 Certification Audit Support — duration varies by ISMS maturity and stage (Stage 1/2) - FedRAMP / NIST 800-53 Assessment Support (3PAO-facing) — duration varies by boundary and artifact maturity Important note: This service does not replace the independent assessor/auditor/3PAO.
