Governance, Risk & Compliance

Manage Risk. Control Your Environment. Prove Compliance.

Next Level IT delivers governance, risk, and compliance programs that help organizations operate securely, confidently, and in alignment with regulatory expectations.  
  • Reduce risk across people, processes, and technology
  • Create documented, repeatable security practices
  • Prove compliance to auditors, insurers, and stakeholders
Our approach integrates policy development, security controls, and risk management into a consistent governance framework — so oversight becomes proactive, not reactive.  
What Is Governance, Risk & Compliance?
Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) ensures your organization has clear policies, defined responsibilities, and enforced controls to manage security and regulatory risk. Instead of ad-hoc security decisions and undocumented processes, GRC establishes structure, visibility, and accountability — reducing exposure while supporting business growth.  
What’s Included:
Policy Development & Governance
  • Security and IT policy creation and modernization
  • Defined roles, responsibilities, and ownership
  • Standardized processes that support consistency
Risk Management
  • Formal risk identification and scoring
  • Business impact and likelihood assessment
  • Risk register and mitigation planning
Control Implementation
  • Security control selection and adoption
  • Mapping controls to frameworks and regulations
  • Ongoing control monitoring and improvements
Audits & Readiness Support
  • Internal audit preparation and documentation
  • Evidence collection and gap remediation
  • Support for external auditors and cyber insurance
Vendor & Third-Party Risk
  • Vendor security evaluations
  • Contract and data-handling risk reviews
  • Ongoing vendor risk monitoring
Compliance Alignment
  • Mapping to CIS, NIST, SOC 2, CMMC and more
  • Gap analysis and prioritized remediation plans
  • Continuous improvement toward maturity
Co-Managed GRC Programs
For organizations with internal IT or compliance teams, our co-managed GRC services provide structure, tools, and expert oversight — while your team maintains operational control. We act as a partner to guide strategy, reduce risk, and ensure governance practices are maintained over time.
Security-First Governance Approach
Security is embedded into every GRC engagement — not treated as a checkbox exercise.
  • Centralized risk register and review cadence
  • Standardized controls tied to business objectives
  • Continuous monitoring and audit readiness
  • Alignment to CIS v8, NIST, SOC 2, CMMC, and Utah HB 80
  • Support for insurance requirements and documentation
The result is a governed, defensible security program that reduces uncertainty, improves compliance posture, and strengthens executive confidence.

Our Process

We follow a structured GRC framework that creates clarity, reduces risk,
and ensures policies, controls, and responsibilities are consistent, measurable,
and auditable across the organization.

  • Assess by identifying risks, reviewing policies, and evaluating existing security controls.
  • Document by creating clear governance standards, roles, and procedures.
  • Implement by aligning technical and administrative controls with regulatory requirements.
  • Standardize by building repeatable processes and evidence trails for audits.
  • Monitor by tracking compliance status, risk changes, and control effectiveness.
  • Improve by reviewing findings regularly and maturing the program over time.

Risk Management & Control Monitoring

We help organizations identify, document, and manage risk across systems, data, people, and vendors — so risk becomes visible and actionable instead of reactive.

By building risk registers, mapping risks to controls, and continuously monitoring performance, we help ensure the right safeguards are operating — and gaps are addressed before they become incidents.

The outcome is a proactive risk program that strengthens resilience and improves decision-making across IT and leadership.
