PHASE 1
Foundation
Policy suite drafted and routed for approval. Evidence repository live. Control owners onboarded. Quick-win controls closed.
Compliance program office
Your remediation roadmap has a deadline. No one owns it.
Every risk assessment ends in a prioritized roadmap. Most of them die. We run the program that drives yours to audit-ready — on the date your customer's contract requires.
The failure this solves
A roadmap with no owner is a roadmap that dies
Every risk assessment and gap analysis ends the same way: a prioritized list of what needs to happen. Most of those lists die quietly. No one owns the individual items, progress isn't tracked against a real date, and the audit deadline arrives with 60% of the work still open.
That's not a security failure — it's a program-management failure. The fix isn't another assessment. It's someone running the program.
What DGTL does
It starts with a small decision, not a big one
Before committing to a program, you get a fixed-fee Program Design Sprint — a complete engagement in itself, with no obligation to continue.
Phase 0 — Program Design Sprint
2–3 weeks, fixed fee
A short, bounded engagement that tells you honestly whether your target date is achievable — before either of us commits to a multi-month program.
- Scope and boundary memo
- Control gap baseline
- Prioritized remediation backlog with named owners
- Critical-path schedule to your target date
- Evidence architecture
- Governance charter and RACI
- Documented go / no-go recommendation
If the answer is no-go, you have that in writing in three weeks instead of discovering it in month five. If it's go, the Design Sprint fee is credited in full against the first month of the program.
If you proceed
A cadence built around your target date
Weekly working sessions, monthly steering readouts, and gate reviews — sequenced backward from your audit date.
PHASE 2
Remediation Drive
Weekly backlog burndown, blocker escalation, third-party coordination, monthly steering readouts.
PHASE 3
Gate Reviews
Formal checkpoints at roughly 60% and 90% completion to confirm the program is still on track for the target date.
PHASE 4
Audit Support
Evidence production coordination and auditor liaison through the engagement's close.
Where the line is
We run the program. Your team does the work.
DGTL runs the program
We own the sequencing, the escalation, the evidence tracking, and holding owners accountable to dates.
Your team does the work
DGTL is not the auditor and doesn't guarantee the audit outcome — no consultant can promise that responsibly.
For ISO 27001 specifically, a consultant who helps implement the management system generally can't also serve as the certifying auditor. We'll never put you in that position.
Deliverables
What you walk away with
- Remediation backlog with named owners
- Evidence repository and architecture
- Governance charter and RACI matrix
- Critical-path program schedule
- Monthly steering readouts
- Go / no-go recommendation
Free insight
For a SOC 2 Type II report, your real deadline isn't the report date. Every control has to be operating and evidenced before the observation window opens — and that window can't be compressed or back-filled afterward. In practice, that puts the true remediation deadline three to four months earlier than most teams are planning for.
Who this is for
This fits if any of these sound familiar
- →You have a SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO deadline tied to a customer contract.
- →You have a named sponsor with budget authority.
- →You have the internal capacity to do the remediation — you just need someone driving it.
