We’ll carry a final analysis of our findings and clearly lay out specific gaps that need to be addressed to achieve compliance and/or your certification.

A comprehensive review of your current state

Our security and compliance experts evaluate your existing practices against the requirements of your selected framework, covering information security, data protection, operational processes, and risk management. We identify any gaps that need to be addressed before moving forward with certification or compliance audits.

Deliverables that drive real progress

The result is a precise, actionable report of your organization’s readiness, enabling you to plan next steps to compliance. The report includes:

  • A summary of the identified gaps relative to the specific framework
  • Recommendations for addressing these gaps
  • Insights on readiness for future audits or certification, such as your timeline, resource allocation, and next steps

How is a gap assessment scoped?

We will work with your team to fully scope a gap assessment based on your needs and company requirements. Some factors we consider during our scoping process include company size, requested security or data privacy frameworks, and if you’re on-prem, in the cloud, or hybrid.

Security with benefits

What our clients are saying about us

Rhymetec helped us to become ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant in 1/3 the time we were expecting. As an early stage B2B startup, this allowed us to go afer enterprise customers months ahead of schedule and got us to become more competitive vs the established players.

Agentnoon

CTO & Cofounder

We went from zero to ISO 27001 and SOC 2, Type 2, in a much shorter time than anyone else was telling us. Rhymetec worked with me to get our organization the security certifications it needed and I will always be grateful for their professionalism and support because their help solved a very real business problem for us.

Tenjin

VP

Working with Rhymetec’s team is great. We use their vCISO program and work closely with a Cloud Compliance Analyst. The Rhymetec team is knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. It is like having an additional team member to handle security and technical issues.

ThinkIQ, Inc.

Director of Operations

Rhymetec did an amazing job and we sailed through our ISO 27001 audit and SOC2 audit. Our vCISO has been great to work with.

ContractSafe

President

We engaged with Rhymetec to complete our first ISO 27001 internal audit. They executed a very efficient engagement and helped us through the process. They produced quality deliverables within the timelines promised.

mTuitive Inc.

CISO

For any companies going through the SOC 2 compliance process, Rhymetec should be a required resource. They combine expert knowledge with a low-effort service model that doesn’t tie up our team’s capacity. I’d recommend Rhymetec to anyone.

Cartful

CEO

Rhymetec has been an absolute lifesaver. Not only is our vCISO super knowledgeable about all things SOC2, but was an absolute delight to work with. There is no way we would have reached this point without our vCISO and Rhymetec’s help.

D3Clarity, Inc.

Operations Associate

The testing was very thorough and complete. Communication and feedback afterwards was easy to understand and very fast. We were able to quickly identify and fix all the issues that were brought up and the team was able to verify the fixes without issue.

Graphium Health

Senior Application Architect

I appreciated how easy it was to schedule the internal audit, and how my Rhymetec compliance analyst helped me understand what I needed to do to prepare for both their internal audit and also our subsequent external audits.

Duolingo

Senior Security Risk Program Manager

Rhymetec was very professional and helpful. They made it easy to schedule the ISO Internal Audit, the response was clear and helpful. I’ll definitely be working with them again in the future.

PlaybookUX

CEO

The team at Rhymetec was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. They were able to accommodate our extended Penetration Testing schedule for remediation and retesting. And the ability to communicate directly with the testers via Slack was a time saver and enormously helpful.
