Compliance Advisory & Governance

A cybersecurity program can pass an audit and still be poorly governed — controls implemented to satisfy a specific finding, with no process behind them for staying current as systems, personnel, and the regulatory framework itself change. That gap tends to surface at the worst time: the next audit cycle, or an incident that reveals a control existed on paper but not in practice.

GSS builds governance structures that keep pace with the program rather than trailing it: clear ownership for each control, documentation that reflects the system as it actually operates, and a review cadence that catches drift before a regulator does. For nuclear and adjacent critical-infrastructure environments, that means governance built by people who have sat on the regulator's side of the table — the cyber-physical division includes former U.S. NRC inspectors who authored the cybersecurity regulations now governing U.S. plants, so the advisory reflects what a review will actually test for.

This work is distinct from a one-time compliance assessment. It's the ongoing structure — policy, roles, documentation, and reporting — that makes a program's compliant status something the organization can demonstrate on any given day, not just reconstruct under pressure before an audit.
