Be Audit-Ready Without the Fire Drill
Evidence mapped, owners assigned, and gaps addressed ahead of time.
The Cybersecurity Challenge At A Glance
Policies and controls often lag behind how the business actually operates. Tool sprawl, vendor risk, and evolving rules create blind spots that audits expose—usually at the worst time. A practical GRC program ties strategy to day-to-day execution: clear policies, a living risk register, mapped controls, and evidence that stands up to scrutiny. Forgepath helps you get there quickly and sustain it.

Deploy GRC Services That Fit How You Operate
From strategy and policy to risk, privacy, vendor management, and managed oversight, Forgepath helps you build a program that people can follow and auditors can trust.
Strategic Services
Security Program Review
We assess your security program against frameworks like NIST CSF and ISO/IEC 27001 to see what’s working, what isn’t, and where to invest next. You’ll get a clear, prioritized plan that aligns security effort with business priorities.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
We evaluate your recovery objectives, dependencies, and testing cadence, then refine plans and run tabletops to prove they work. The result is faster recovery with less chaos when incidents happen.
Risk Services
Risk Assessment
We identify business and technical risks, rate impact and likelihood, and map them to controls and monitoring. You get a living risk register and a roadmap that keeps risk owned, visible, and trending down.
Third-Party Risk Management
We right-size your TPRM process—questionnaires, evidence reviews, contract language, continuous monitoring, and escalation. You’ll know which vendors are acceptable, which need remediation, and which require compensating controls.
Tactical Services
Phishing Simulation
We run targeted simulations and coaching that reflect real attacker tactics. Over time, click rates drop, reporting improves, and your culture gets stronger.
Professional Services
Data Security Governance
We establish policies, roles, and control standards for how data is classified, protected, accessed, and monitored. Teams get practical guardrails they can follow without slowing down.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
We align DLP strategy to real data flows—email, endpoints, SaaS, cloud—and tune policies to reduce noise. You get actionable coverage without overwhelming your analysts.
Data Privacy
We support privacy-by-design with data mapping, DPIAs, consent and retention controls, and crosswalks to GDPR/CCPA equivalents. The output is clear documentation and controls that stand up to audits.
Vulnerability Management
We improve the full cycle—asset coverage, risk-based prioritization, SLAs, and exception handling—so the riskiest issues get fixed first. Expect fewer backlogs and better outcomes.
Managed Security
CISO as a Service
Fractional leadership for program strategy, board reporting, budgeting, and roadmap execution. You’ll have ongoing guidance and accountability without the overhead of a full-time hire.
CAIO as a Service
overnance and oversight for AI adoption—policies, risk reviews, vendor selection, KPIs, and readiness against NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001. Safe AI, aligned to your goals.
Third-Party Risk Management as a Service
We operate your vendor risk process—intake to decision, exceptions, continuous monitoring, and reporting—so stakeholders get fast answers and better risk control.
Compliance Management as a Service
Day-to-day management of evidence, controls, and audits across frameworks like SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, PCI, and FTC Safeguards. Less scramble, more consistency.
Phishing as a Service
Ongoing phishing campaigns, metrics, and reinforcement training tuned to current threats. Measurable improvement, month after month.
