Security Assessments

Assessing where you stand is the first step in protecting your business. Our in-depth evaluations look deeper than your average assessment to gauge your true compliance with key standards (NIST CST 2.0, PCI, ISO 27001:2022, HIPAA, etc.), and outline a strategic, prioritized path to achieving a stronger, more compliant security framework. Our assessment practice is overseen by a former DoD auditor that will kick the tires like no other in the business. If you make it through this assessment, you will pass any audit.

Our Approach

• Compliance-Focused Gap Analysis

We pinpoint where your organization meets—or falls short of—regulatory requirements and best practices, giving you a clear list of priorities to achieve or maintain compliance.

• Actionable Reporting & Remediation Guidance

We provide customized reports highlighting key vulnerabilities and compliance gaps, then work closely with your team to prioritize fixes, offer strategic advice, and verify that remediations are effective.

Our expert-driven Security Assessments give you the clarity you need to protect your assets, reputation, and bottom line. Contact us today to learn how we can help you build a solid foundation for compliance and proactive security.

Privacy Development

Today’s digital landscape demands more than just cybersecurity—it requires a holistic approach to data privacy. At Steady State Security, our Privacy Services ensure you meet evolving regulations (like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA) and earn customer trust by safeguarding personal and sensitive information.

What We Offer

• Regulatory & Compliance Alignment

Navigating global privacy laws can be complex. We’ll identify which regulations apply to your business, assess your current practices, and outline a comprehensive roadmap to achieve and maintain compliance.

• Privacy Program Buildout

From data classification policies and consent protocols to breach response procedures and user rights requests, we help you design an end-to-end privacy program that’s both robust and scalable.

• Data Lifecycle Management

Sensitive data passes through multiple stages—collection, processing, storage, and disposal. We create tailored strategies and controls to ensure every phase meets strict privacy standards.

• Privacy Risk Assessments

By evaluating your data flows, vendor agreements, and IT environment, we highlight your privacy hotspots and recommend targeted measures to reduce risk and protect personal information.

• Employee Training & Awareness

Policies only work when your team knows how to implement them. We provide engaging training that keeps employees up-to-date on privacy best practices and empower them to handle data responsibly.

Why It Matters

Failing to protect user data can lead to legal consequences, reputation damage, and financial penalties. But it’s not just about avoiding fines—investing in robust privacy measures also fosters consumer confidence, builds customer loyalty, and differentiates you in a crowded marketplace.

Policy Program

A rock-solid security program starts with well-crafted policies that guide how your organization protects sensitive data and reacts to threats. At Steady State Security, we help you develop a robust policy suite—from foundational “heavy hitter” documents to specialized add-ons—ensuring you stay ahead of emerging risks and compliance requirements.

Core Policies at a Glance

• Information Security Program (ISP)

The master plan defining security goals, responsibilities, and continuous improvement strategies.

• Incident Response Plan (IRP)

Rapid detection, clear containment, and seamless communication when breaches occur.

• Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BC/DR)

A blueprint to keep operations running and data intact during unexpected disruptions.

• Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

Outlines the do’s and don’ts for using company resources, promoting accountability and integrity.

• Access Control Policy

Ensures the right people have the right privileges at the right time.

From Policy to Practice: Procedure Development

Even the best-written policies fall short without clear, actionable procedures. We translate each policy statement into step-by-step instructions tailored to your workflows and technology stack. These procedures serve as living documents, guiding day-to-day operations, reducing human error, and ensuring everyone in your organization knows exactly how to uphold security standards in real time.

Beyond the Basics

While these policies form a strong backbone, every organization has unique demands. We can extend your documentation to cover privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA), cloud security (AWS, Azure), secure software development (SSDLC), or any other specific need.

By partnering with Steady State Security, you’ll gain a tailored, adaptable policy and procedure ecosystem aligned with your industry, risk profile, and compliance objectives—creating a fortified foundation to help your business thrive.
