What we find
every time.
These aren't hypothetical risks. They're the exact failures we discover in 94% of first-time audits — named, specific, and fixable in under 30 days.
Unencrypted PII in staging
Customer emails, SSNs, and payment tokens stored in plaintext across 3 staging environments.
Missing data processing agreements
No DPAs signed with 7 active vendors processing EU resident data — GDPR Article 28 violation.
Banner doesn't block tracking
Analytics and ad pixels fire on page load regardless of user consent selection.
Over-privileged admin accounts
Twenty-three user accounts hold full database admin rights — 19 haven't accessed prod in 90 days.
No breach response playbook
Zero documented IR procedures. GDPR's 72-hour notification window starts counting immediately.
Indefinite PII storage
No automated purge schedule. Former customer records retained 3+ years post-churn.
Audit log gaps in production
Critical read operations on customer data tables not captured in audit trail.
PHI transmitted without BAA
Health record data routed through an analytics provider with no Business Associate Agreement.
Every gap,
closed.
