Translate regulatory and contractual requirements into practical, defensible security controls.
Practical Controls
Defensible Evidence
Clear Roadmap
5D Cyber helps organizations align their security programs with applicable requirements through practical controls that support real-world operations.
Compliance should not be treated as a paperwork exercise or a checkbox activity. Effective compliance integrates regulatory and contractual obligations into operational security practices—ensuring that controls are both auditable and functional, that evidence is defensible, and that your organization can demonstrate due diligence without disrupting business operations.
When security controls are designed to address real risk and align with operational workflows, compliance becomes a natural outcome rather than a separate initiative. We focus on building defensible programs that pass audits because they actually work—not because they generate documentation.
Evaluation of current security posture against applicable frameworks and requirements. We identify control gaps, assess maturity, and provide a clear view of where your organization stands relative to compliance obligations.
Systematic identification of compliance risks based on regulatory requirements, contractual obligations, and business context. Risks are prioritized by impact and likelihood, enabling focused remediation efforts on what matters most.
Creation and refinement of security policies, standards, and procedures that align with compliance frameworks while remaining practical and enforceable. Documentation that reflects how your organization actually operates—not generic templates.
Guidance on evidence collection, audit artifact organization, and preparation for external assessments. We help ensure your documentation is complete, organized, and defensible before auditors arrive.
Clear, concise reporting for leadership and boards that communicates compliance status, risk exposure, and remediation progress in business terms. Reports designed to support decision-making without overwhelming executives with technical detail.
Supporting compliance with risk-based frameworks tailored to your business obligations and geography.
We support alignment with risk-based cybersecurity frameworks, industry control baselines, and privacy requirements based on your business obligations and geography.
Rather than applying one-size-fits-all templates, we identify which frameworks, standards, and regulations apply to your organization, then translate those requirements into practical controls that fit your operational environment and risk tolerance.
NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and other risk-based approaches to cybersecurity governance.
HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, and sector-specific control requirements.
GDPR, CCPA, and regional privacy laws affecting data handling practices.
FedRAMP, StateRAMP, and federal/state contractual security obligations.
Customer security questionnaires, vendor requirements, and MSA terms.
SOC 2, SOC for Cybersecurity, and third-party audit frameworks.
Compliance frameworks are guidelines, not prescriptive checklists. We help you interpret requirements in the context of your environment, implement controls that address both compliance and real risk, and build programs that satisfy auditors without creating unnecessary burden.
Compliance programs that reduce risk and support business growth.
Structured plan for achieving and maintaining compliance with prioritized milestones, realistic timelines, and clear ownership. No guesswork—just a defensible path forward.
Organizations prepared for external assessments experience fewer surprises, shorter audit cycles, and higher confidence in outcomes. Preparation transforms audits from stressful events into routine validations.
Compliance-driven controls designed to address real risks strengthen your security posture, not just audit readiness. The result is a program that protects the business while satisfying regulators.
Well-managed compliance programs open market opportunities, satisfy customer security requirements, and support contract negotiations. Rather than treating compliance as a cost center, forward-thinking organizations use it as a competitive differentiator—demonstrating operational discipline, risk awareness, and commitment to security that builds trust with customers, partners, and regulators.
Stop treating compliance as a separate initiative. Build practical, defensible controls that satisfy auditors and strengthen your security posture.
Confidential readiness review. No vendor pitches. Just compliance expertise.
