When the CISO role isn’t clearly defined or fully staffed, accountability and long-term planning can slip, jeopardizing progress and stakeholder trust. Without a dedicated leader, critical security decisions may be delayed or missed altogether.
This leadership gap can derail cybersecurity efforts, create blind spots, and spark compliance concerns. Amid growing regulations, rapid technology shifts, and emerging threats, having solid, executive-level direction is vital.
ITEGRITI’s Office of the CISO addresses this need with three flexible engagement models—CISO Advisory, Virtual CISO, and Interim CISO—each tailored to your organization. Whether you want to support your existing security leader, tap into on-demand expertise, or secure interim leadership during a transition, our experienced professionals deliver comprehensive oversight. From strategic planning and AI governance to third-party risk management and incident readiness, we align your organization with both regulatory expectations and business goals.

Today’s enterprises rely on a vast network of third-party vendors—each with its own processes and potential vulnerabilities. Lapses in a partner’s security controls can lead to data breaches, reputational damage, and compliance penalties.
Without visibility into vendors’ security postures, organizations inherit hidden risks that can escalate into disruptive incidents. This jeopardizes daily operations and erodes stakeholder confidence.
ITEGRITI’s vendor security audits offer an informed assessment of how third parties manage security and your sensitive information. We compare their controls to your standards, pinpoint gaps, and recommend steps to fortify supply chain security—helping you protect your enterprise and meet regulatory expectations.

In today’s fast-paced workplace, business units often adopt third-party apps and cloud-based tools outside official IT oversight. While this can boost productivity, it also introduces a hidden challenge: Shadow IT.
Left unmanaged, these unapproved tools can create security, compliance, and data privacy risks. Sensitive information may be stored on cloud platforms with uncertain vendor security controls, leaving the organization vulnerable to data breaches and regulatory non-compliance.
ITEGRITI applies a structured method to identify these applications and align them with your organization’s policies. We work with you to develop a Shadow IT playbook—with clear usage guidelines—track adoption and foster a culture of responsible innovation. If helpful, we can also perform these controls and report ongoing status under a managed services agreement.

In organizations that rely on both IT and OT, internal audits have become increasingly complex. Auditors must understand everything from network configurations to specialized applications, all under varying and evolving compliance mandates. Effective January 9, 2025, the updated IIA Standard 9.4 (Internal Audit Plan) mandates that Internal Audit functions include cybersecurity in their audit universe and plan, emphasizing the need for comprehensive coverage.
Overlooking any aspect of IT/OT and cybersecurity can leave blind spots in risk assessments, weaken security postures, and attract regulatory scrutiny. Leaders require assurance that audits are complete, accurate, and align with the latest standards.
ITEGRITI, an independent and qualified third-party firm, reinforces your internal audit function and upskills your team. We refine audit scopes to identify overlooked vulnerabilities and guide reviews toward becoming more rigorous with actionable outcomes. Our partnership strengthens audit outcomes and reinforces trust with stakeholders.

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, a comprehensive approach to incident readiness—including incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity—has become a top priority. Cyberattacks, system outages, and natural disasters can surface at any time, testing the resilience of both people and processes.
Without a cohesive strategy, critical gaps in communication, recovery, or decision-making may remain hidden until a real crisis occurs. This can result in prolonged downtime, missed regulatory obligations, and diminished stakeholder confidence. Regular tabletop exercises bridge the gap among incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity, pinpointing vulnerabilities, strengthening collaboration, and building team muscle memory.
ITEGRITI offers incident readiness solutions informed by decades of IT/OT expertise and critical infrastructure compliance. Through targeted assessments of your incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity, we help your team shift from reaction to proactive response—so you’re prepared for whatever arises.

Many organizations embrace cloud platforms, IoT devices, and automation to streamline operations and fuel growth. Yet if cybersecurity and compliance aren’t built into these initiatives from the beginning, progress can stall—or new vulnerabilities may undermine your advancement.
Overlooking organizational change management and staff readiness can result in misaligned workflows, unexpected costs, and gaps in execution. Leaders need a holistic plan that joins technology innovation with cybersecurity and the practical insights gained from years of hands-on consulting.
ITEGRITI brings this perspective to every phase of transformation, ensuring each new system or process is both efficient and secure. Through organizational change management, cybersecurity best practices, and real-world expertise, we help you realize tangible benefits, safeguard vital assets, and keep operations running smoothly in a dynamic threat landscape.

In a rapidly shifting security and compliance landscape, even robust policies and cutting-edge tools can falter if people don’t understand why they matter. Without clear, accessible training, employees may overlook essential steps, senior leaders might miss critical insights, and organizations risk falling out of compliance with industry regulations.
That’s why ITEGRITI developed a specialized training series for a broad audience—from business leaders and control owners to IT/OT teams and Internal Audit. We break down each topic into “What” (the concept), “So What” (its importance), and “Now What” (practical steps). By focusing on consistent control domains across most compliance frameworks, participants develop a well-rounded view of security principles—and learn how to apply them across various contexts. Each one-hour session uses plain language and minimal tech jargon, with opportunities for qualified attendees to earn CPE credits.
Our training enables everyone—from the C-suite to frontline staff—to speak a common language around security and compliance. Senior leaders gain strategic insight, while practitioners better understand the purpose behind their daily activities and the associated risks. The result is a stronger culture that safeguards defenses and sustains compliance.

Cyber insurance policies can serve as a vital safety net against data breaches and other cyber incidents. However, coverage may be denied if you’re not consistently executing the specific controls detailed in your policy attestations.
Over time, even well-intended controls may drift from insurance requirements—leaving organizations open to potential coverage gaps or claim denials. Leaders need clear insights into whether their security posture supports their policy commitments.
ITEGRITI conducts comprehensive reviews of your declared security practices, verifying alignment with policy provisions. We highlight gaps, suggest practical improvements, and can even help with remediation, so you maintain the evidence necessary to support coverage.

That’s where ITEGRITI’s GSD (Get Stuff Done) services shine. We provide skilled professionals who fit seamlessly into your organization, tackling critical priorities so your core team can stay focused on long-term goals.

Critical infrastructure operators face stringent standards like NERC CIP, TSA SD-02, HIPAA, and FFIEC—alongside broader cybersecurity frameworks, best practices, and various privacy laws. Falling short in any area can result in regulatory penalties, operational disruptions, and a loss of stakeholder trust.
Leaders who underestimate these requirements risk costly compliance issues and reputational harm. A proactive, thorough assessment is central to sustaining reliable service, meeting obligations, and maintaining stakeholder confidence.
Backed by years of hands-on experience with HIPAA (since 2004), NERC CIP (since 2008), and TSA SD-02 (since 2022), ITEGRITI performs deep assessments to uncover gaps, propose actionable remediation, and support ongoing compliance efforts. The outcome? A more secure organization that’s better equipped to handle evolving threats.

Organizations can’t protect what they don’t know they have. Over time, systems evolve, employees depart, and devices are added or removed without proper documentation—leaving behind significant blind spots.
When asset inventories are incomplete or out of date, critical devices may be overlooked, creating vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. This lack of visibility can also stall security and compliance initiatives, particularly in highly regulated environments.
ITEGRITI’s systematic walkdowns and inventories bring clarity to both IT and OT environments. We reconcile discovered devices with existing records, update asset information, often uncover unknown systems, and provide insights that strengthen security and compliance efforts.
