Why a GRC Platform as a Service?
Spreadsheets and shared drives don’t scale. Period… Full-Stop.
Audit requests, client diligence, and regulator expectations require structured governance, repeatable workflows, and evidence you can produce on demand.
Our GRC Platform (SaaS) eliminates chaos by centralizing your compliance program and embedding expert guidance—so your team moves from reaction to operational discipline.
ITNS Consulting can provide your team the tools, processes, and strategic support they need to succeed on their compliance journey.
What Makes ITNS Consulting Different?
Unlike typical IT providers, ITNS Consulting has the capability and desire to help your IT team fill their knowledge and tool gaps by integrating Cybersecurity Training, Policies, Procedures, and Compliance Artifact Management into one comprehensive solution.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- vCIO/vCISO Guidance (built-in): Get hands-on leadership to perform risk assessments, draft policies/procedures, and prepare audit-ready artifacts—not just software access.
- Unified Evidence Repository: Policies, procedures, training records, attestations, risk logs, and incident reports live in one system—queryable and export-ready.
- Industry-Specific Training Catalog: End-user training for General Cybersecurity, Phishing, FTC Safeguards, HIPAA, and more—mapped to your policy requirements.
- Operational Tooling: Phishing simulations, Dark Web Monitoring, and document management for DR/IR/notification plans—directly integrated.
- Attestation & Reporting: Track user attestations and policy acknowledgments; generate board-ready and exam-ready reports in minutes.
- Scalable & Predictable: SaaS delivery with a flat monthly fee—add roles, groups, and policies as you grow, without hidden costs.
Core Capabilities
✅ Risk Management & Governance
- Guided Risk Assessments: vCIO/vCISO-led sessions to identify, score, and prioritize risk; outcomes translate to policy updates and control improvements.
- Policy & Procedure Library: Author, review, and publish cybersecurity policies (e.g., Access Control, Encryption, Incident Response, Business Continuity, Vendor Risk, Acceptable Use, etc.).
- Control Mappings: Align artifacts to NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls v8, PCI DSS v4.x, and CMMC/DFARS NIST SP 800-171 requirements for DoD contractors, and more.
🧰 Training, Testing & Attestation
- End-User Security Training: Role-based modules: General Cybersecurity, Phishing, FTC Safeguards, HIPAA Security/Privacy basics, and CMMC awareness for defense contractors.
- Phishing Simulations: Campaigns with remediation paths and leadership dashboards to track resilience over time.
- Attestation Tracking: Automated policy acknowledgments, training completions, and version-controlled acceptance logs.
🛡️ Threat Intelligence & Monitoring
- Dark Web Monitoring: Continuous surveillance of your primary business domain to detect exposed credentials and trigger mitigation workflows.
- Alerts & Escalations: Configurable notifications for non-compliant users, overdue training, and policy exceptions.
🔄 Document Management & Response
- Disaster Recovery (DR) Plans: Version-controlled runbooks with owner assignments, RTO/RPO, and test evidence.
- Incident Response (IR) Plans: Playbooks with roles, communication templates, forensic steps, and post-incident reviews.
- Breach Notification Workflows: Evidence capture and communication checklists to streamline regulatory or contractual notifications (including DFARS 252.204-7012 72-hour reporting).
📊 Outcomes You Can Expect
- Audit-Ready in Weeks: Centralize artifacts, streamline evidence, and cut prep time for audits, client diligence, or insurer questionnaires.
- Measurable Resilience: Track training completions, phishing performance, policy attestations, and risk remediation progress.
- Lower Compliance Friction: Replace ad-hoc effort with repeatable workflows that your leadership can trust and your staff can follow.
