Services · Program Delivery, End to End

Discovery to Operations. One Engineering Lifecycle. One Accountable Team.

Our services follow the USX Cyber Delivery Framework from first survey to standing operations: discovery, scoping, and security architecture up front; OverWatch SOC-as-a-Service running the program 24/7; and Compliance Consulting keeping governance and evidence continuous. The engineers who design your boundary are the team that operates it.

// How Our Services Fit Together

Services Organized the Way
Programs Are Actually Built.

We don't sell services à la carte and hope they add up to a program. Every engagement moves through the USX Cyber Delivery Framework , engineering first, technology second, operations continuous.

1

Discovery, Scoping & Boundary Analysis

Our engineers map your environment, contracts, and data flows, then determine what's in scope, what's out, and where the regulatory boundary should sit. Risk assessments and scope rationale are delivered in writing before any technology decision is made.

2

Security Architecture

With the boundary defined, we design the program: segmentation and enclave strategy, identity and access design, control placement mapped to NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, or the frameworks that govern you. The architecture dictates the tooling, never the reverse.

3

Implementation & Security Engineering

We build what the design specifies, hardening, segmentation, control deployment, and stand up GUARDIENT® as the operational layer, aligned to the exact control set the architecture defined. Most environments are fully onboarded within days, not months.

4

Operations. OverWatch 24/7 SOC

The program goes live under continuous monitoring: a U.S.-based SOC executing detection, investigation, and response around the clock, mapped to your control set so operations and obligations never drift apart. Explore OverWatch below →

5

Governance & Continuous Compliance

Our compliance consultants maintain the governance layer, SSPs, POA&Ms, policies, risk management, while GUARDIENT® generates framework-mapped evidence from daily operations. Audit readiness becomes a standing condition, not a seasonal project. Explore Compliance Consulting below →

// Ongoing Service Practices

Where the Framework Becomes a Standing Service.

Once a program is engineered and implemented, two practices carry it forward continuously. 24/7 security operations and compliance governance, both running on the GUARDIENT® platform, both delivered by the team that designed your program.

OverWatch SOCaaS. Continuous Monitoring

Managed Detection, Response & Threat Intelligence

A 24/7 U.S.-based Security Operations Center staffed by expert analysts, backed by GUARDIENT® XDR automation. Your environment is monitored by the organization that engineered its boundary, so detection, response, and escalation follow the program design rather than a generic playbook.

Why OverWatch Stands Apart

🔗 Tight GUARDIENT® XDR Integration

Our SOC is purpose-built on GUARDIENT®, not bolted onto a third-party platform. Tier 1 triage is automated, so our analysts spend their time on the threats that genuinely require human expertise and decisive action.

🤝 Fully Managed or Co-Managed

Need a fully staffed SOC? Or want our team to augment your existing security function? OverWatch adapts to both models, with the same coverage, the same expertise, and the same SLAs regardless of engagement type.

🧠 Human Ingenuity Where It Counts

GUARDIENT® handles automation. Our analysts step in when advanced threats require judgment, context, and experience. We never substitute automation for the analyst, we use both, where each excels.

📋 Built for Compliance Frameworks

Every OverWatch investigation is documented in alignment with CMMC, SOC 2, NIST 800-171, and HIPAA. Traceable response records that satisfy real auditors, not just checkbox compliance.

How OverWatch WorksWhite-glove onboarding to strategic review, the five-phase lifecycle
// How OverWatch Works

White Glove Onboarding.
Signal-Only Operations. Real Outcomes.

We don't flood your inbox with noise. OverWatch runs on a five-phase lifecycle built to deliver real security outcomes, from day-one onboarding through continuous defense and strategic review.

1

Discovery & Tailored Design

We start by understanding your environment, your risk profile, and your compliance requirements, not from a template, but from a real discovery session. Every protection strategy is designed around your unique business.

2

Seamless Integration

3

Signal-Only Alerting

We enrich and correlate every event before it reaches your team. When we escalate, you already know it's real. No noise, no false positives, just validated threats that require action.

4

Collaborative Remediation

Every high-risk incident includes actionable remediation guidance, delivered by our analysts, or executed directly by our team with your authorization. We don't throw alerts over the fence.

5

Strategic Reporting & Refinement

Monthly threat reviews, quarterly business reporting, and always-on detection tuning. As your threat landscape and business evolve, OverWatch evolves with you.

What Our Compliance Advisory Covers

From initial framework selection to sustained audit readiness, our advisory practice covers every phase of your compliance journey, with hands-on expert guidance at every step.

🗺️

Framework Selection & Roadmapping

Not sure which frameworks apply to your business? We evaluate your industry, customer requirements, and regulatory environment, then build a prioritized compliance roadmap that makes sense for your stage of growth.

  • CMMC 2.0 scoping and level determination
  • SOC 2 Type I and Type II readiness
  • NIST 800-171 and CSF alignment
  • Multi-framework efficiency planning
🔍

Gap Assessments & Remediation Planning

Before you can close gaps, you have to know where they are. Our advisors conduct structured gap assessments against your target frameworks, then build a prioritized remediation plan with clear ownership and timelines.

  • Control-by-control current state review
  • Risk-ranked gap identification
  • Remediation task tracking inside GUARDIENT®
  • Resource and timeline planning
📂

Audit Preparation & Evidence Support

Audit season shouldn't be a scramble. We prepare your team and your documentation ahead of time, so when an assessor arrives, your evidence is already organized, mapped, and complete.

  • Pre-audit mock assessment and dry run
  • Evidence collection and packaging
  • Policy and procedure documentation review
  • Assessor liaison and Q&A support
🔄

Ongoing Compliance Management

Compliance isn't a one-time project, it's a continuous state. GUARDIENT®'s GRC engine enforces your controls in real time while our advisors monitor drift, manage changes, and keep you audit-ready between certifications.

  • Continuous control monitoring in GUARDIENT®
  • Drift detection and remediation alerts
  • Quarterly compliance posture reviews
  • Change management advisory support
// The Advantage

Advisory Expertise Meets Platform Enforcement

Most compliance consultants hand you a report and leave. We stay. Our advisory practice is backed by the GUARDIENT® platform, so the recommendations we make are continuously enforced, not just documented and forgotten.

01

Strategy Backed by Real Controls

Every advisory recommendation is mapped to a specific control in GUARDIENT®, so your compliance posture improves the moment we advise, not months later when you implement.

02

Continuous Evidence, No Manual Collection

GUARDIENT® auto-generates audit-ready evidence for every monitored control, eliminating the manual evidence scramble that delays most audits and creates compliance drift.

03

One Partner for Security and Compliance

When your SOC and your compliance advisory team are the same organization, there's no gap between incident response and audit documentation. OverWatch and Compliance Advisory are built to work together.

Why It Matters

"A compliance report without continuous enforcement is a photograph of a moment that's already passed."

Traditional compliance advisory gives you a snapshot. GUARDIENT® gives you a live view, continuously monitoring whether your controls are actually in place, and alerting when they drift.

// How We Engage

Buy Half. Buy the Whole. Or Buy One Piece of Work.

Every engagement ends in the same outcome: an operation that runs and a framework you pass. Not everyone needs both halves on day one, and every rate below is published on our pricing page so you can check it yourself.

The Security Half

Guardient Security

The 24/7 operation without the compliance program. XDR, our U.S.-based SOC, SIEM, and vulnerability management, with the evidence collecting from day one so a future framework is not a standing start.

  • 24/7 eyes-on-glass monitoring and response
  • Every analyst a U.S. person, in the United States
  • 30 days hot and 90 days cold log retention
  • $450/mo + $18 per endpoint-equivalent
Best for: Organizations nobody has asked to prove anything yet, and teams replacing an MSSP that went quiet after onboarding.
The Compliance Half

Guardient Compliance

The delivered compliance program without moving your security provider. We scope, write the SSP and POA&M, tailor the policies, and sit with your assessor, mapping and evidencing what your current provider produces.

  • Keep the security team you already have
  • Every framework included, no per-framework charge
  • We tell you honestly where the evidence is thin
  • $1,450/mo + $6 per endpoint-equivalent
Best for: Organizations happy with their current provider, where moving security is not on the table but the framework still has to get done.
One Piece of Work

Separately Scoped Engagements

Nothing here is required and nothing is billed by surprise. Each is published, scoped in advance, and available on any package, including the penetration test we deliberately keep out of every bundle.

  • Annual Penetration Test · $12,000/yr
  • vISSO or vCISO Support, 4 hrs/mo · $18,000/yr
  • Annual Tabletop Exercise · $6,000/yr
  • SPRS Score Validation $6,500 · Assessment Support $9,500
Best for: Organizations that need one specific piece of work, a second opinion, or a named expert through an assessment window.
Most Chosen

Guardient Complete

Both halves as one system, where the security operation produces the compliance evidence. We run the whole program, from scoping through the finding letter, and it keeps running after the audit.

  • Everything in Guardient Security
  • Everything in Guardient Compliance
  • $450/mo less than buying the halves separately
  • $1,450/mo + $24 per endpoint-equivalent
Best for: Organizations that want the outcome owned end to end by one team, with a single account and a single number to check.
