COMPLIANCE & RISK ASSESSMENT FOR SMALL BUSINESS

Know where your security
program stands — and
exactly how to fix it.

MitchGRC delivers a plain-English compliance gap assessment against the framework that matters to your business — with a prioritized remediation roadmap, ready-to-use policy templates, a cyber insurance readiness score, and a signed attestation letter. No consultants. No jargon. No six-month engagement.

OVERALL
Moderate Compliance Posture — Action Required
14 gaps identified across 3 frameworks. 3 critical gaps expose you to HIPAA penalty risk and may affect cyber insurance eligibility. 90-day remediation roadmap included.
NIST CSF 2.0
58%
HIPAA
41%
CYB. INS.
72%
CRITICAL
No written Business Associate Agreements with 3 vendors — HIPAA requires BAAs with any vendor accessing PHI. Missing BAAs = direct HIPAA liability. Risk: $100K+ penalty per violation.
CRITICAL
No formal Incident Response Plan — Required by HIPAA, NIST CSF, and every major cyber insurer. Without a documented IRP, breach notification timelines cannot be met.
HIGH
Access controls not formally documented — NIST CSF PR.AC-1 requires documented access provisioning and de-provisioning. 4 former employees still have active email accounts.
MEDIUM
No annual security awareness training program — Required by HIPAA Security Rule. Training records must be retained for 6 years.
FRAMEWORKS COVERED

Six frameworks.
One plain-English report.

We assess your controls against the framework that matters for your business — or multiple. Each report covers what you have, what you're missing, and exactly what to do.

RECOMMENDED STARTING POINT
🛡
NIST CSF 2.0
The gold standard framework for small business security. Covers 6 functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover) across 106 subcategories. Referenced by cyber insurers and enterprise clients.
Who needs it: Any SMB that handles client data, has remote employees, or works with enterprise clients
LEGAL REQUIREMENT
🏥
HIPAA Security Rule
Required by law for any business that handles Protected Health Information. Covers Administrative, Physical, and Technical safeguards. OCR audits and penalties are active and growing.
Who needs it: Healthcare providers, billing companies, legal firms, accountants handling patient data
PAYMENT PROCESSING
💳
PCI-DSS Basics
Required if you process, store, or transmit credit card data. We assess against the 12 PCI requirements applicable to small businesses and identify gaps before your processor does.
Who needs it: Any business that accepts credit cards — retail, restaurants, e-commerce, professional services
VENDOR REQUIREMENT
📄
SOC 2 Lite
Enterprise clients increasingly require vendors to demonstrate SOC 2 alignment. We assess your controls against the Trust Service Criteria and identify what you'd need to close before a formal audit.
Who needs it: SaaS companies, service providers, anyone an enterprise client has asked about SOC 2
FEDERAL CONTRACTS
🇺🇸
CMMC Level 1
Required for any company in the DoD supply chain. Level 1 covers 17 practices across 6 domains. If you have or pursue federal contracts, CMMC compliance is mandatory by regulation.
Who needs it: Any business with DoD subcontracts or pursuing government work
PRACTICAL BASELINE
🔧
CIS Controls 18
18 actionable security controls prioritized by risk. Implementation Group 1 (IG1) is specifically designed for small businesses with limited resources. The most practical framework to start with.
Who needs it: Any small business that wants a structured security baseline without compliance overhead
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

No other GRC service does
this at any SMB price.

EXCLUSIVE TO MITCHGRC
💰
Cyber Insurance Readiness Score
We map your controls directly to the questions on the most common cyber insurance applications (Coalition, Corvus, Chubb, At-Bay). You get a score that predicts your insurability and tells you exactly which gaps will raise your premium or get you denied.
Example: Missing MFA on email = 40% premium increase or disqualification on 3 major carriers. Fixing it costs $0. We tell you that before you apply.
EXCLUSIVE TO MITCHGRC
📜
Client-Ready Security Attestation Letter
When an enterprise client asks “what is your security program?” you need a professional answer. Kevin signs a formal attestation letter documenting your security posture, frameworks assessed, and remediation commitments. Closes deals. Satisfies vendor questionnaires.
Example: Your enterprise client sent a 40-question vendor security questionnaire. We fill it out and provide the attestation letter. Done.
ALL PLANS
📄
8 Ready-to-Use Policy Templates
Frameworks require documented policies. We include 8 professionally written policy templates in Word format — Acceptable Use, Password, Incident Response, BYOD, Data Classification, Remote Work, Vendor Management, and Backup & Recovery. Customize and adopt.
Example: HIPAA requires a written Risk Analysis. We provide the template. Your auditor asks for an Incident Response Plan. You already have it.
ALL PLANS
🗺️
90-Day Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
Not a list of gaps. A week-by-week action plan telling you what to fix, in what order, with what resources. Week 1 closes your highest-risk exposures. Week 12 completes your documentation. Vendor-specific instructions where relevant.
Example: Week 1: Enable MFA on M365 (30 min). Week 2: Sign BAAs with 3 vendors (template provided). Week 3: Conduct access review — here are the accounts to audit.
NO COMPETITOR DOES THIS
📊
Framework-to-Framework Gap Mapping
Once we assess you against NIST CSF, we show you exactly how far you are from HIPAA, SOC 2, or CMMC. So when a new compliance requirement arrives, you already know the delta. No repeat assessment from scratch.
Example: You pass NIST CSF IG1. You’re 73% of the way to SOC 2. Here are the 14 additional controls you’d need for a formal audit.

CRITICAL GAPS
CRITICAL FINDINGS
CRITICAL
No Business Associate Agreements with 3 Vendors
Your billing service, cloud storage provider, and IT support company each have access to Protected Health Information. Federal law requires a signed BAA with each. OCR penalties for missing BAAs start at $100,000 per violation and can reach $1.9M annually.
FIX: Three BAA templates included in your report. Send to each vendor, get signed, retain for 6 years. Time: 2 hours. Cost: $0.
CRITICAL
No Formal Incident Response Plan
HIPAA requires a documented IRP. Every major cyber insurer requires a documented IRP as a condition of coverage. Without one, you cannot meet the 60-day breach notification requirement and you may void your policy after a claim.
FIX: IRP template included. Customize with your vendor contacts, escalation path, and notification contacts. Review with Kevin if needed. Time: 3 hours. Cost: $0.

CYBER INSURANCE READINESS

Your compliance posture directly affects
your coverage and your premium.

Most small businesses don't know their security gaps will affect their cyber insurance until they apply — or until they file a claim and it's denied. MitchGRC maps your controls to insurer requirements before you apply.

What Insurers Actually Ask
Every major cyber insurer asks the same 15-20 questions on their application. Your answers directly determine your premium, your coverage limits, and whether you get coverage at all.
Do you use MFA on all email and remote access?
Do you have a documented Incident Response Plan?
Are privileged accounts managed and monitored?
Do you conduct regular security awareness training?
Do you have offline or immutable backups?
Missing any of these = premium increases of 40-200% or denial
What MitchGRC Delivers
Your assessment report includes a dedicated cyber insurance readiness section showing exactly where you stand against each insurer requirement — before you apply.
Gap analysis against Coalition, Corvus, At-Bay, and Chubb application questions
Estimated premium impact of each open gap
Priority order to close gaps before your renewal
Documentation checklist for your insurance broker
Evidence summary letter for your underwriter
The Security Attestation Letter
When a client, partner, or insurer asks about your security program, you need a professional answer. Every MitchGRC assessment includes a signed attestation letter documenting your security posture.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

Do I need to be a compliance expert to use this?+
No. The intake questionnaire is written in plain English with no compliance jargon. You describe what you do and what you have. Kevin translates your answers into framework controls. The output report is also written in plain English. You will not need a compliance background to read it or act on it.
Which framework should I start with?+
For most small businesses, NIST CSF 2.0 is the right starting point. It's the most broadly recognized, referenced by cyber insurers, and comprehensive enough to cover the basics of any other framework. If you handle patient data, add HIPAA. If you process payments, add PCI. If a client is asking you about SOC 2, start with NIST CSF and we'll show you the gap to SOC 2 as part of the report.
How is this different from hiring a compliance consultant?+
A compliance consultant typically charges $150-$400/hour and a full engagement costs $5,000-$25,000. MitchGRC delivers the same gap assessment output for $399-$799 because we have a defined methodology, structured questionnaire, and a direct line to Kevin rather than a team of junior consultants. The deliverable is the same — a gap report, roadmap, and documentation — at a fraction of the cost.
What is the cyber insurance readiness score?+
Every major cyber insurer (Coalition, Corvus, At-Bay, Chubb, Travelers) uses a similar set of 15-20 security controls as the basis for their underwriting questions. We map your controls to these questions and score you against them. You see which gaps will affect your premium or eligibility before you apply. Fixing an IRP template costs $0 and could save you 30-40% on your premium or prevent a denial.
What is the security attestation letter used for?+
The attestation letter is used when a client, partner, or procurement team asks about your security program. Enterprise clients increasingly require vendors to demonstrate a security posture before signing contracts. The letter documents that a formal assessment was conducted, summarizes your controls, and outlines your remediation commitments. It is signed by Kevin Mitchell on behalf of Mitch's Cyber Solutions LLC. Many clients accept this in lieu of a full SOC 2 report for SMB vendor relationships.
Do the policy templates actually satisfy compliance requirements?+
The templates are written to satisfy the documentation requirements of NIST CSF, HIPAA, and CIS Controls. They need to be customized with your specific business details, employee names, contact numbers, and vendor information. A policy template that has been properly customized and adopted by your organization satisfies the “documented policy” requirement across frameworks. Kevin reviews all templates for your specific industry during the Remediation Plan and Monitor tiers.
