IT Risk Advisory Services

Be Confident in Your IT and Operational Strategy

Ever-evolving regulations, processes, threats, and opportunities mean your organization needs to be ready — and nimble — when it comes to your IT and operational strategy and practices. Our goal at KSM is to help you formally evaluate the management of your IT and operational environment, identify control gaps, and help provide a roadmap to remediation.

Given the complex nature of business operations and IT, it can be difficult to know where to start when looking to optimize your controls. No matter where you are in your journey, we can make realistic recommendations based on your organizational goals and objectives. With a roster of seasoned IT and operational advisors — and experience working across dozens of industries — our team is uniquely suited to be your risk advisory partner.

HITRUST Assessment and Validation

The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) is a certifiable framework that provides organizations with a comprehensive, flexible, and efficient approach to regulatory standards compliance and risk management. Although HITRUST is designed to be industry-agnostic, healthcare organizations or organizations that are required to maintain compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are often required to be HITRUST-certified. KSM is an approved HITRUST External Assessor, and we’re here to support you all the way from readiness to certification.

IT General Controls Assessment

Well-managed IT general controls keep your organization running smoothly and prepared for issues that could arise down the road. We partner with you to review your current IT general controls environment and provide recommendations so you can secure your data in a way that aligns with your organization’s culture and objectives.

SOC Readiness Consulting

If you need a SOC report, you likely already know that preparation is key – and requires significant expertise. At KSM, we’ll advise you through scoping, internal control identification, and internal control refinement in order to cover best practice recommendations and documentation development.

Internal Audit

Staying up-to-date with regulatory and best practice requirements can feel overwhelming. Our team lives in the world of regulatory requirements every day, and we’re here to help simplify things for you. Our outsourced or co-sourced internal auditing, ISO 27001 consulting, and Sarbanes-Oxley services can help build and refine your overall internal audit strategy.

Enterprise Risk Management Strategy

Being prepared for what’s ahead isn’t easy, especially at the enterprise level. We can help you work through your risk management strategy – while creating a thoughtful roadmap for the future – through processes such as defining a risk management framework, identifying and assessing risks, and building a plan for remediation.
