Why Nexeris

We do the work. Not just the advice.

Cybersecurity compliance consulting should leave you with a working program, not just a findings report. Someone still has to write the policies, build the controls, and gather the evidence. On advisory-only engagements, that work falls back on your team. We take that work instead.

WHO OWNS THE WORK Nexeris Your MSP Advisory-only consultant Compliance automation platform Your own team
Scopes what is actually in and out
Authors your SSP, ISMS, or control narratives
Writes policies tied to evidence you actually hold
Implements the technical controls
Runs a mock audit before the real one
Represents you to the assessor or certification body
Monitors control drift between audits
Carries a written guarantee on the outcome
Owns it Partial, or advises only Not in scope

Every option here works for someone. A good MSP implements controls well and a capable internal team can carry a lot of this. The question is who writes the documentation and answers for it on audit day.

The engagement

Four phases. One set of deliverables you own.

One lead practitioner runs all four phases of your cybersecurity compliance engagement. We scope the timeline after the consult, because a 30-person shop and a 900-person integrator are not the same engagement.

PHASE 01

Scope

We define and document the boundary, then assess what your evidence actually shows against the control set you are being held to. Tight scoping is the biggest lever on cost.

PHASE 02

Build

Remediation and documentation run together. We author the plan, the policies, and the control narratives while the controls go in alongside your team.

PHASE 03

Prove

A senior practitioner runs a mock audit, reviewing every artifact the way the assessor will. Findings get closed before the real thing.

PHASE 04

Pass

We are in the room with you, managing evidence requests and defending control implementations to the C3PAO, certification body, or auditor.

What you get

Authored by us. Handed to you.

Every engagement ships a full artifact set. You keep all of it, written so your team can maintain it once we step back.

On the Global Com engagement, 100% of required artifacts were authored and organized by Nexeris. Their internal IT and engineering teams stayed on contract delivery.

SCOPE
CMMC Level 2, DFARS 7012

CMMC Level 2 certified with zero disruption to DoD business

A federal systems integrator serving defense programs since 1996, handling CUI, with DoD contract renewals approaching. 110 NIST 800-171 controls had to be translated across complex physical network infrastructure, cloud systems, and operational security environments. Falling short on scoping or documentation put revenue directly at risk.

  • Defined precise CUI boundaries across physical, network, and operational environments to isolate audit scope
  • Authored the SSP, POA&M, and every custom domain policy
  • Acted as primary compliance partner and technical advocate through the C3PAO assessment
Passed
C3PAO assessment, first attempt. DoD contract eligibility protected.
100%
Of required artifacts authored and organized by Nexeris

"I am a registered CMMC Certified Assessor, so I had high expectations. Every policy tied back to real evidence, and the artifacts were organized the way an assessor actually wants to see them. There were no surprises and no scrambling."

SCOPE
ISO/IEC 27001:2022

Certified first time, with zero major non-conformities

A high-growth SaaS platform automating fulfillment across hundreds of carts, marketplaces, and warehouse systems needed independent proof of security to win enterprise clients. Security reviews with 3PL and retail buyers were stalling the pipeline, and a lean engineering team had no internal GRC expertise to spare.

  • Mapped their AWS infrastructure and engineering workflows directly to ISO 27001 controls
  • Co-designed right-sized policies, then ran the mandatory internal audit as a dry run
  • Stood with the team through Stage 1 and Stage 2 external audits
Certified
ISO 27001:2022, accredited, on the first attempt

"Before our engagement, we genuinely didn't understand what the process involved. Nexeris took the time to really understand where we were as an organization first, then met us exactly where we were. Their practical, expert-led support turned a daunting process into a clear, achievable path."

SCOPE
ISO 27001 & 27701 internal audit

Two ISO internal audits in 30 calendar days

Strider had certification audits already scheduled and needed thorough ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 internal audits done as fast as possible. No time to spare, a heavy internal workload, and non-conformities surfacing late would have derailed both first-time certifications.

  • Kicked off within 24 hours of contract execution with audit plans and evidence requests issued
  • Ran ISO 27001 and 27701 reviews concurrently, starting as evidence arrived
  • Documented every non-conformity with a tailored corrective action plan
30 days
Dual ISO internal audits complete. Both certifications followed.

From first introduction to engagement kickoff

"Nexeris played a key role in helping us prepare for ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification under an aggressive timeline. Their team was highly communicative, easy to work with, and proactive in coordinating with our external audit firm. Most importantly, they were willing to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality."

SCOPE
SOC 2 Type 1 readiness

SOC 2 readiness in under four weeks

Customers were asking for a SOC 2 report within 30 days. Golden had bought a GRC platform, but it still needed setup, and the template policies it shipped were generic. They needed real tailoring to reflect Golden's operations and meet SOC 2 criteria, without burying the internal team.

  • Built a gap assessment workbook mapping every control to a policy
  • Rewrote every generic platform policy to match Golden's real controls
  • Delivered a prioritized remediation roadmap ahead of the audit date
Passed

Guarantee terms are written into every engagement agreement. The Audit Victory Guarantee applies where the corrective actions we identify are completed as specified.

Why now

Compliance is a revenue gate, not an IT project.

Nobody starts this work because they want to. It starts because a contract, a prime, or an enterprise buyer set a requirement with a date on it. The cost of delay is a lost award, not a fine.

We work the requirement backward from your deadline and own the artifacts, so your team stays on the work you sell.

IF YOU SELL TO THE DOD

Contract eligibility is the whole game

DFARS 252.204-7012 has been in your contracts since 2017, and your SPRS score is visible to every contracting officer. CMMC schedules move. Flow-down clauses and supplier questionnaires do not. A weak score costs you the award long before an assessor shows up.

See our CMMC practice
IF YOU SELL TO ENTERPRISES

Certification is a procurement requirement

ISO 27001 and SOC 2 show up in security reviews, vendor questionnaires, and diligence. The deal does not close until you hand over the certificate or the report, and that date is set by your buyer.

See our ISO and SOC 2 practice

Doing both at once? Most controls overlap. We run a single evidence set against multiple frameworks rather than making you pay twice.

Questions

Questions we get before every engagement.

If yours is not here, a 30-minute consult answers it faster than another page will.

Ask us directly
Can our MSP get us CMMC certified?

Usually not on their own. A good MSP runs your IT and can implement technical controls, but CMMC is an evidence and documentation exercise as much as a technical one. Someone has to scope the CUI boundary, author the SSP and POA&M, tie every policy to real artifacts, and defend those choices to a C3PAO. That is a different discipline. We work alongside your MSP rather than replacing them.

How long does CMMC Level 2 readiness take?

It depends on your starting maturity and how much of your environment touches CUI. Tight scoping is the single biggest lever on both timeline and cost, which is why we start there. We give you a realistic milestone plan in the first consult rather than a number designed to win the deal.

What does a cybersecurity compliance consulting engagement include?

Our cybersecurity compliance consulting includes scoping and boundary design, gap assessment, remediation support, required documentation authored by us, evidence collection and organization, a mock assessment, and direct representation through the real assessment. All three guarantees apply. Pricing is scoped after the consult, because a 30-person shop and a 900-person integrator are not the same engagement.

Do you only work with defense contractors?

No. Defense is a core focus, and the discipline it demands carries over. We support commercial and regulated organizations pursuing ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR, usually because a customer or an enterprise procurement process is asking for it.

We are starting from nothing. Is that a problem?

That is a common starting point and often easier than untangling a half-built program. We work with organizations at every maturity stage, from a first policy set to an established program that needs to clear a specific finding.

How does the $10,000 guarantee actually work?

It is written into the engagement agreement. Complete the corrective actions we identify, and if you do not pass your assessment we issue a refundable credit of up to $10,000. The condition is real work on your side, because we cannot guarantee an outcome for controls that were never implemented. Separately, if we do not start within 24 hours of signing, you get $1,000, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice at any point without a fee.
