Governance, Risk, and Compliance Services

GRC is a structured framework that helps organizations manage their cybersecurity strategy (governance), identify and address threats (risk), and meet regulatory obligations (compliance) in an integrated way. Rather than treating each as a separate workstream, GRC aligns security controls with business objectives — reducing redundant effort and ensuring that the same controls serve both security and audit purposes. ProArch's GRC services build programs that are audit-ready, scalable, and aligned to your industry's specific regulatory requirements.

ProArch has deep experience across a broad range of industry-specific compliance frameworks, including:

• Healthcare: HIPAA, NYS DOH OHIP SSP
• Energy / Power: NERC CIP, NIST 1800-23
• Defense / Manufacturing: CMMC, DFARS
• Financial Services: PCI DSS, NYS DFS
• Privacy: GDPR, CPRA/CCPA, NYS Shield Act
• Control Frameworks: NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001/2, SANS CIS Controls

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a DoD requirement for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). As a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), ProArch guides defense manufacturers through the full CMMC journey — from gap assessment and remediation to documentation and audit preparation. CMMC Level 2 self-assessments became operational in February 2025, making preparation urgent for organizations pursuing or maintaining DoD contracts.

A compliance gap analysis compares your organization's current security and operational practices against the requirements of a specific framework (e.g., HIPAA, NIST CSF, or ISO 27001). ProArch's gap analysis delivers:

• A current-state inventory of existing controls and documentation
• A gap map showing where your posture falls short of the target framework
• Risk prioritization — which gaps pose the greatest regulatory and security risk
• A remediation roadmap with recommended controls, owners, and timelines

ProArch's Compliance Managed Services provide vCISO-led oversight that tracks regulatory changes (NERC CIP updates, CMMC shifts, state privacy law expansions), maintains your documentation, and keeps your program audit-ready year-round.

Compliance and cybersecurity are deeply interrelated. Compliance frameworks like NIST CSF and ISO 27001 are built on cybersecurity best practices. However, compliance alone does not equal security — an organization can pass an audit while still being vulnerable. ProArch's approach integrates both: security controls are designed to satisfy regulatory requirements, while compliance programs reinforce security posture. The result is an organization that is both secure and audit-ready.
