Program build & sustainment
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Program design and implementation, security documentation development, and third-party audit preparation. The program layer underneath the paperwork, covering ownership, cadence and evidence that hold between assessments.
Program governance
Compliance that only exists during an assessment is not a program.
Organizations pass an assessment, put the binder down, and drift. Twelve months later the architecture has changed, the POA&M has not moved, no one has reviewed a log, and the next assessment starts from close to zero.
DASATECH builds the operating layer that prevents that: a policy set that reflects how you actually work, named control owners, a risk register that gets used in decisions, and a monitoring cadence with defined outputs and dates.
For organizations without a full-time security leader, we can also serve in an advisory capacity, chairing the risk review, maintaining the register and preparing board-level reporting.
- Policy and procedure architecture mapped to your control baseline
- Control ownership matrix, so every control has a named human
- Risk register, scoring model and treatment workflow
- Third-party and supply chain risk process
- Continuous monitoring calendar with defined artifacts per cycle
- Security awareness program and role-based training requirements
- Metrics and reporting for leadership and boards
Register entries shown are examples. The value lies in the record of who accepted what, and when.
How it runs
Engagement sequence
Current-state review
We review existing policy, governance structures and control operation to find where the program is documented but not running.
Framework alignment
We select the control baseline and mapping that fits your obligations, so a single program serves every framework you answer to.
Program build
Policies, procedures, ownership matrix and risk register are developed with the people who will have to operate them.
Operationalization
Cadence is established, first cycles are run with us in the room, and evidence collection is proven end to end.
Sustainment
Quarterly risk review facilitation, register maintenance, ConMon oversight and readiness support ahead of each assessment.
Deliverables
Program artifacts
Every document is produced in the template the receiving party expects, and is written to be read by an assessor rather than filed.
- POLICYFull policy suite aligned to the applicable control families
- PROCOperating procedures for the controls that require repeatable execution
- MATRIXControl ownership and responsibility matrix
- REGISTERRisk register with scoring model and treatment decisions
- CALENDARContinuous monitoring calendar and evidence schedule
- REPORTReporting pack for leadership, boards and customers
- VENDORThird-party risk assessment process and tiering criteria
Outcome
What a functioning program looks like
- Every control has an owner who knows they own it
- Evidence is produced as a by-product of operations, not assembled in a panic
- Risk decisions are recorded, with who accepted what and when
- The next assessment starts from a maintained position, not a rebuild
- Leadership can answer security questions from customers and boards with data

A 30-minute scoping call is usually enough to size the gap, name the deliverables and give you a realistic date for authorization.
