Data governance

Unmanaged data is unmanaged risk.

We map, classify, and control your data across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments — aligned to HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, GDPR, or whatever your auditor is going to ask for next.

What you get

Control over your data — and evidence you can prove it.

Data governance isn't a policy you write once and forget. We build the processes, controls, and documentation that make it real — and keep it current through audits, staff turnover, and platform changes.

Data discovery & mapping

We locate and inventory data across all your environments — cloud storage, SaaS apps, databases, endpoints, and file shares — building a complete map of where your sensitive data lives and how it flows.

Data classification

We define classification tiers — public, internal, confidential, regulated — and implement automated tagging so every piece of data is treated according to its sensitivity level, not by whoever happens to handle it.

Access controls & least privilege

We audit who has access to what, remove over-permissioned accounts, and implement role-based access controls — so sensitive data is only accessible to the people who actually need it to do their jobs.

Retention & deletion policies

We build data retention schedules that match your legal and regulatory obligations — and the automated workflows that enforce them, so you're not holding data longer than required or deleting it too soon.

Compliance alignment

Every governance control is mapped to the regulatory frameworks that apply to your business — HIPAA, SOC 2, CMMC, GDPR, CCPA — so there's no guessing about whether your controls satisfy your audit requirements.

Audit documentation package

We deliver the evidence package your auditors will ask for — data inventory, access control records, classification policies, retention schedules, and breach notification procedures — organized and audit-ready.

Frameworks we align to

Built for the regulations your auditors actually care about.

We don't build generic governance programs. Every control is mapped to the specific frameworks that apply to your industry and your data.

HIPAA— Protected health information & covered entity requirements
SOC 2— Trust services criteria across security, availability, and confidentiality
CMMC— DoD contractor data handling for CUI and FCI
GDPR— EU data subject rights, processing records, cross-border transfers
CCPA / CPRA— California consumer data rights and opt-out obligations
NIST CSF— Identify, protect, detect, respond, recover framework alignment

How it works

Discovery to audit-ready in four phases.

1

Data discovery

We scan and inventory your data environments — cloud, SaaS, on-prem — building a complete picture of where sensitive data lives, how it flows, and who currently has access to it.

2

Classification & controls design

We define your classification taxonomy, map data types to regulatory categories, and design the access controls and retention rules that will govern each tier.

3

Implementation

We implement automated classification tagging, configure access controls, clean up over-permissioned accounts, and deploy retention automation — with change logs throughout.

4

Documentation & audit prep

We build your audit evidence package — policies, control documentation, records of processing activities, and a compliance mapping matrix tied to your specific frameworks.

If you don't know where your sensitive data lives, neither does anyone who needs to protect it.

A data discovery and governance assessment takes 3–5 weeks and gives you a defensible answer when auditors, insurers, or clients start asking questions.
