  3. Prioritize critical gaps and create a roadmap.
  4. Design and implement practical controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start with a clearer view of the engagement

These are the questions organizations most often ask before beginning a GRC, audit readiness or cybersecurity advisory engagement.

Ask a different question
Which frameworks does Falcon Oaks support?

Core capabilities include SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls, PCI DSS, OSFI B-10 and B-13, CMMC, CPCSC, SWIFT CSP and applicable Canadian privacy requirements.

Can you help if our audit deadline is approaching?

Yes. We begin by confirming scope, timing, evidence status and critical gaps. The resulting plan distinguishes urgent audit blockers from improvements that can be completed through a phased roadmap.

Do you offer project-based and ongoing support?

Engagements can be structured as focused assessments, audit readiness projects, program build-outs, remediation support or ongoing vCISO and security advisory retainers.

Will Falcon Oaks guarantee certification?

No consultancy can make the independent auditor’s final determination. Falcon Oaks supports readiness, remediation, evidence preparation and auditor coordination so your organization enters the review well prepared.

What happens during the first consultation?

A senior advisor discusses your target outcome, timeline, current state, stakeholders and constraints. You receive a clearer view of the most practical next step and whether a formal engagement is appropriate.
