Most organizations treat compliance as a documentation exercise produce evidence, pass the audit, file the report. NSG builds compliance programs that actually function: controls that hold under scrutiny, policies that people follow, and audit readiness that isn't a fire drill.
A binder of policies is not compliance. A spreadsheet of controls is not GRC. Most organizations can produce documents on demand but when the auditor starts asking for evidence, the operational reality doesn't match the paper trail. The gap between what's documented and what's practiced is where breaches happen, certifications stall, and contracts fall through.
SOC2 Type II reports that take three attempts. CMMC assessments that expose gaps your team thought were closed. Auditors who find what your consultants missed.
NIST CSF. HIPAA. SOC2. ISO 27001. PCI. CMMC. Each customer and regulator demands something different and your team is drowning in overlapping requirements.
Your third parties hold your data, process your transactions, and sit inside your perimeter. Most organizations have no systematic way to assess or monitor the risk they carry.
NSG provides end-to-end compliance and GRC services from gap assessment through audit and beyond. Every engagement is designed to leave you with a program that runs without us.
We map your current control environment against your target framework SOC2, HIPAA, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI, or CMMC and produce a prioritized remediation roadmap with effort estimates and ownership assignments.
Auditors don't want promises, they want evidence. NSG builds and populates your evidence vault: organized, labeled, version-controlled, and ready to hand to any auditor or assessor without a scramble.
Policies written for the audit drawer don't protect you. NSG develops policies that reflect your actual operational environment, with clear ownership, review cycles, and version control that survives leadership transitions.
If you operate in multiple regulated environments, you don't need separate compliance programs for each framework. NSG builds unified control sets that satisfy multiple frameworks simultaneously reducing cost and audit fatigue.
NSG runs pre-audit walkthroughs, evidence reviews, and mock auditor interviews so your team is not surprised on the day. We coordinate directly with your auditors and assessors to reduce friction.
Your compliance posture is only as strong as your weakest vendor. NSG builds a vendor risk program that scales from initial onboarding due diligence through annual reassessment and contract obligations.
NSG works across the major compliance frameworks relevant to regulated and growth-stage organizations. We don't require you to pick one, we help you build a program that addresses all applicable requirements efficiently.

NSG structures compliance engagements to deliver a functioning program and not just another report. Most clients start with a targeted assessment and move into a retainer for sustained compliance operations.
We define the compliance boundary, inventory existing controls and documentation, and identify the gap between your current posture and your target framework. Delivered as a gap report with prioritized remediation items.
Based on the gap assessment, we design the control framework, assign ownership, set evidence collection cadences, and build the remediation roadmap with milestones tied to your audit timeline.
NSG works alongside your team to close control gaps, build the evidence vault, finalize policies, and stand up the processes that make compliance sustainable not just auditable for one cycle.
Pre-audit review, mock auditor walkthroughs, evidence handoff coordination, and on-call support during the audit itself. NSG coordinates directly with your auditor or assessor to reduce surprises.
Post-certification, NSG can serve as your fractional compliance program lead: managing evidence refresh, policy review cycles, vendor risk reassessments, and responding to new framework requirements as they emerge.
Collins Dibaki has sat in the compliance chair not as a consultant filling out questionnaires, but as a CISO responsible for maintaining compliance programs under audit, regulatory, and board-level scrutiny across healthcare, government, and financial environments.
NSG does not produce compliance theater. When we build a program, we build it to hold under the scrutiny of auditors, regulators, acquirers, and board members who have seen every variation of a framework-in-name-only.
"The most expensive compliance program is the one that fails at audit time. Build it once, build it right, and run it like the operating process it is." Collins Dibaki, Founder & Principal
NSG's compliance experience is deepest in the sectors where the regulatory environment is most complex and the stakes for failure are highest.
