Security Assessments & Certifications—Implemented, Not Just Audited

Traditional assessments by auditors stop at findings. We prioritize implementation so your controls are real, actionable, and audit‑ready.

Why choose Steel Patriot Partners for your assessment needs?

  • Implementation‑for‑you: We don’t hand you a checklist—we can also put controls in place and automate where possible.

  • Modular help, faster outcomes: Plug in exactly what you need: readiness, gap closure, policy buildout, or full certification prep.

  • Audit‑tested approach: Guided by engineers and compliance leaders who have won and managed certifications in their own companies.

  • Evidence first: We map, collect, and maintain evidence from day one to avoid audit‑week scramble.

  • Tooling that scales: We implement and operationalize your GRC tooling (e.g., ZenGRC) and connect to cloud/security platforms you already use.
