Managed Compliance Operations
Compliance is not preserved by a one-time project. It requires ongoing attention, maintenance, and operational discipline.
Why Compliance Degrades
Controls drift from documented configurations
Evidence gaps accumulate between assessment periods
Documentation falls out of sync with the actual environment
Personnel change and institutional knowledge is lost
Systems change and configurations are not updated
Managed Compliance Activities
Continuous Monitoring
Ongoing security monitoring, vulnerability management, and reporting aligned to compliance requirements.
Evidence and Documentation Sustainment
Regular updates to system security plans, policies, procedures, and evidence artifacts to maintain accuracy.
Recurring Risk Reviews
Scheduled risk assessments, POA&M reviews, and compliance status reporting for leadership.
Technical and Operational Support
Configuration management, change control support, and technical maintenance of security controls.
Control Oversight
Verification that implemented controls continue to operate effectively and remain aligned with requirements.
Leadership Briefings
Regular executive-level updates on compliance status, risks, and recommended actions.
Transition From Implementation
Managed compliance operations typically begin after an implementation project has established the foundation. The transition moves the organization from project-based compliance to operational compliance — ensuring that the investment in implementation continues to produce results.
Common Cyber can also engage with organizations that have completed implementation with another provider and need ongoing compliance support.
Customer Responsibilities
Common Cyber does not assume legal, executive, or contractual accountability for your compliance posture. Customer leadership retains responsibility for compliance decisions, risk acceptance, and organizational commitment. Managed compliance operations provide the execution capacity and discipline to support these responsibilities.
