Why CyberAccord
How we're different
Senior hands on the work
Certified practitioners do the testing, configuration and audit preparation themselves. Your engagement isn't handed down to juniors.
Protection that produces proof
Managed security, testing and compliance come from one team, so the controls and the evidence that proves them come from the same place.
Framework-fluent
We work in SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, NYDFS and the EU AI Act, and map every deliverable to the control it supports.
Fixed scope, plain English
Fixed quotes, defined deliverables, and findings ranked by business risk rather than scanner output, each with a clear owner.
