GOVERNANCE & COMPLIANCE

GRC &
Compliance

Governance, risk, and compliance programs built for evidence and accountability — across NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001, and bespoke advisory engagements.

Connect security obligations to operational reality

ShadowCore’s GRC practice helps organizations translate security and privacy obligations into a working program — one with clear ownership, evidence, and a defined path to audit readiness. We focus on the overlap between frameworks, so a single remediation action can support NIS2, ISO 27001, and GDPR requirements rather than three competing workstreams.

Engagements start with a gap-first assessment that combines regulatory analysis with a review of current technical and organizational controls. From there, we build a prioritized roadmap, supply the policies and evidence templates your auditors expect, and stay engaged through implementation, internal review, and external assessment.

GRC sits next to ShadowCore’s technical services. Findings from penetration testing, cloud audits, and SOC operations feed directly into control evidence, so compliance reflects how security is actually run — not what a policy claims.

Engagement snapshot

What our GRC engagements cover

Frameworks covered

NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001:2022, and supporting standards (CIS, NIST) — engaged individually or as a coordinated multi-framework program.

  • NIS2
  • GDPR
  • ISO 27001

Approach

Gap-first assessments that connect legal obligations to operational controls. Evidence-driven, not checkbox-driven.

Deliverables

Executive briefings, control-mapped findings, prioritized remediation roadmap, and audit-ready evidence templates for each framework.

Engagement formats

One-off audits, certification-readiness programs, or ongoing advisory retainers. Scope and pace tuned to your regulatory deadlines.

Who it is for

When a GRC engagement is the right step

  • Organizations newly in scope of NIS2, DORA, or sector-specific regulation that need to scope obligations and start remediation.
  • Companies preparing for ISO 27001 certification, SOC 2 attestation, or recurring customer security assessments.
  • Privacy and security leaders aligning GDPR programs with operational controls, vendor risk, and breach readiness.
  • Growing organizations that need a coherent governance, risk, and compliance program — not a stack of disconnected audits.
Typical outcomes

What you walk away with

  • A clear obligation map across applicable frameworks, with overlaps consolidated to avoid duplicate control work.
  • A prioritized remediation roadmap with owners, evidence requirements, and realistic timelines.
  • Policies, procedures, and evidence templates that survive external audit and customer review.
  • A defensible governance story for executives, the board, regulators, and enterprise customers.
