We engaged Auditwerx for a SOC 2®* assessment of our fast-growing cloud-based security service. The audit itself was thorough, but non-disruptive. The team was highly professional and very knowledgeable. We recommend Auditwerx’s SOC 2® services without reservation.

Volatile memory counts as storage under PCI DSS. Misunderstanding this can lead to inaccurate scoping, failed assessments, & missed controls.

A Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) is a formal document used within the CMMC ecosystem to track security deficiencies identified during a formal assessment. It serves as a regulatory roadmap, outlining the specific tasks, resources, and timelines an organization will use to remediate non-compliant controls.

Since the official CMMC process is pass/fail and highly detailed, the readiness assessment is your essential dry run, a compliance check designed to identify and close gaps before they impact your final certification.
