Audit-Ready. Every Framework. Year-Round.
Compliance isn't a project you finish — it's a program you run. USX Cyber combines expert compliance advisors with the GUARDIENT® platform to take you from gap assessment to audit-ready, and keep you there. No scrambles. No fire drills. No compliance theater.
Most organizations aren't failing compliance. They're failing the program around it.
The frameworks aren't the hard part. The hard part is evidence — collecting it continuously, organizing it properly, and proving to an auditor that your controls actually operated over time. That's where most compliance programs break down. Spreadsheets, disconnected tools, manual evidence collection, and one-time audit sprints that fall apart the moment the report is issued.
Evidence Is Scattered Everywhere
Compliance evidence lives across tools, shared drives, email threads, and people's heads. When an auditor asks for proof, the scramble begins.
Evidence is collected automatically as security events occur and organized inside the platform — mapped to the specific controls your auditor will test.
Audit Sprints Are Not a Compliance Program
Preparing for an audit once a year means you're only compliant for a few weeks. The other fifty weeks, your controls could drift and nobody would know.
Continuous control monitoring means your compliance posture is live at all times — control drift surfaces immediately, not at audit time.
Your Tools Generate Alerts, Not Proof
Security tools tell you something happened. Auditors need to see that your controls prevented, detected, or responded to it — with documentation to back it up.
Every detection, response, and remediation action is automatically mapped to compliance controls and stored as auditor-ready evidence.
Platform-Powered Compliance. Expert-Led Programs.
Most compliance firms hand you a gap assessment and a document checklist. Most compliance platforms show you a dashboard with no one to help you act on it. USX Cyber does both — expert advisors who have worked inside these frameworks, backed by a platform that automates the work between engagements.
When our advisors define your control program, GUARDIENT®'s Compliance Command module monitors those exact controls in real time. Evidence builds continuously. Your posture stays current. And when your next assessment comes, your audit binder is already assembled.
Continuous, Not Periodic
Traditional compliance consulting delivers a point-in-time snapshot. Our approach delivers a live program — controls monitored continuously, evidence collected automatically, posture visible at all times.
Security and Compliance in One Motion
Because GUARDIENT® runs your XDR, SIEM, SOAR, and GRC together, every security action generates compliance evidence. When OverWatch responds to a threat, that response is documented against your active frameworks automatically. Security operations and compliance stop being two separate programs.
Advisors Who Know What Auditors Want
Our compliance team has guided organizations through first-time certifications, failed assessments, and complex multi-framework programs. They know what auditors actually test — and the difference between a control that looks good on paper and one that will hold up under scrutiny.
Every Major Framework. One Consistent Program.
Whether you're pursuing a single certification or managing obligations across multiple frameworks simultaneously, our advisors and GUARDIENT® are built to support the full landscape of modern compliance requirements.
DoD Supply Chain Compliance
Level 1, 2, and 3 Readiness
The most technically demanding framework in the market — and the stakes for defense contractors are high. GUARDIENT® covers 83 of 110 NIST 800-171 controls natively. Our advisors have guided contractors to Level 2 readiness in as little as 90 days.
- CUI scoping and data flow mapping
- SSP development and maintenance
- POA&M creation and tracking
- SPRS score management
- Assessment preparation and support
Trust Services Criteria
Close Deals. Build Trust. Stay Ready Year-Round.
SOC 2 closes enterprise deals and most high-growth companies underestimate it until they're already behind. GUARDIENT® automates the evidence collection that makes Type II maintenance continuous rather than a quarterly scramble.
- Trust Services Criteria scoping
- Control design and validation
- Automated evidence collection
- Type I and Type II readiness
- Ongoing control drift monitoring
Healthcare & PHI Compliance
Security Rule. Privacy Rule. Breach Notification.
Healthcare organizations and business associates face specific, technically detailed requirements under HIPAA. Our advisors conduct Security Rule gap analyses and align your technical safeguards to GUARDIENT®'s detection and monitoring capabilities.
- Security Rule gap analysis
- Risk assessment documentation
- Technical safeguard alignment
- Policy and procedure development
- Breach notification readiness
Healthcare Information Trust
e1, i1, and r2 Certification Readiness
HITRUST is increasingly required by large healthcare payers and enterprise buyers. The framework is rigorous, the assessment process is structured, and the path to certification requires both a strong technical controls foundation and meticulous documentation.
- Assessment scope definition
- Control requirement mapping
- Gap assessment by assurance level
- Evidence preparation
- Pre-assessment readiness review
Federal Security Standards
CUI Protection. Federal Alignment.
NIST 800-171 is the technical backbone of CMMC. NIST 800-53 governs federal information systems and is increasingly referenced by enterprise security programs outside government. GUARDIENT® natively maps to both frameworks.
- CUI identification and scoping
- 800-171 assessment and SSP development
- 800-53 control alignment
- POA&M creation and tracking
- Continuous control monitoring
Information Security Management
ISMS Design. Certification Readiness.
The international standard for information security management — frequently required for international enterprise sales and financial services partnerships. Certification requires a functioning ISMS. Our advisors design and support ongoing ISMS operation aligned to the 2022 standard.
- ISMS scope and context definition
- Risk assessment and treatment
- Annex A control implementation
- Internal audit program design
- Certification body preparation
Payment Card Industry Compliance
Cardholder Data. Merchant and Service Provider.
Organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data are subject to PCI-DSS — and scope is frequently broader than initially realized. GUARDIENT®'s monitoring, logging, and access control capabilities map directly to PCI-DSS technical requirements.
- Cardholder data environment scoping
- Gap assessment against requirements
- Network segmentation review
- SAQ preparation
- QSA engagement support
One Control Set. Many Audits.
Reduce Overlap. Eliminate Redundancy.
Organizations managing CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 simultaneously don't need four separate compliance programs — they need one unified control framework that satisfies all of them. Our advisors specialize in mapping overlapping requirements to a single control set, maintained by a single evidence repository in GUARDIENT®, so your team runs one program instead of four.
- Cross-framework control mapping
- Unified evidence repository strategy
- Overlap analysis and rationalization
- Consolidated audit calendar management
- Single policy framework covering multiple standards
- Continuous multi-framework posture monitoring

Compliance That Holds Up After the Auditor Leaves.
The traditional compliance consulting model produces a document. A gap report. A list of recommendations. Maybe an audit binder if you're close to an assessment. Then the engagement ends and your program is left to drift.
Our model is different. GUARDIENT®'s Compliance Command module monitors your controls continuously between engagements. When a control drifts — a configuration changes, a policy lapses, a new system enters scope — the platform surfaces it immediately. Your advisory team is notified. You fix it before it becomes a finding.
Compliance stops being an annual event and becomes an operational constant.
Talk to an AdvisorReal Security Telemetry Backing Every Control
Your SOC 2 Security criteria, CMMC access controls, HIPAA technical safeguards — all backed by live GUARDIENT® telemetry. Not policy documents. Actual evidence of controls operating in your real environment.
Evidence Builds While You Work
Every detection, response, and remediation action generates compliance evidence automatically. By the time your audit arrives, your binder is already built — not assembled in a rush the week before.
Control Drift Surfaces Immediately
Configuration changes, access control updates, and policy lapses appear in your compliance posture in real time. You see the gap before your auditor does.
One Platform Across Every Framework
Whether managing CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, or all three, GUARDIENT® maps a single set of security controls across every active framework simultaneously. One security program. Every standard satisfied.
Stop preparing for audits.
Start running a program.
There's a difference between passing a compliance audit and running a compliance program. One ends when the auditor leaves. The other protects you continuously, builds evidence automatically, and makes every future audit a scheduled event instead of an emergency. Let's talk about building the program.
