Continuous security & compliance.

An assessment captures a moment. Systems keep changing: new workloads appear, permissions expand, dependencies age, and AI workflows gain access to more data and tools.

Broadwing sets up control checks, reviews access and exceptions, maintains evidence, and helps fix failures. Your team can see which controls pass, which configurations have changed, and who owns the next action.

Audit preparation becomes expensive when the team has to reconstruct how a control operated, who reviewed an exception, or whether a finding was actually closed. Security work stalls when those same questions are spread across tickets, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools.

We link each control to an owner, a check or review, its supporting evidence, and a process for fixing failures.

Common starting points include SOC 2 readiness, ISO/IEC 27001 programs, NIST CSF 2.0, and CIS Benchmarks. We scope the technical controls and evidence your organization needs:

• SOC 2: Access-review records, change approvals, vulnerability-remediation evidence, and monitoring records tied to the applicable Trust Services Criteria.
• ISO/IEC 27001: Technical controls and operating evidence tied to the risks and controls selected in your information security management system.
• NIST CSF 2.0: A view of current and target cybersecurity outcomes, with gaps translated into owners and engineering tasks.
• CIS Benchmarks: Configuration checks and hardening against the benchmark version and profile chosen for your cloud, operating system, or database.

These references serve different purposes: SOC 2 is an attestation engagement, ISO/IEC 27001 is a management-system standard, NIST CSF organizes risk-management outcomes, and CIS Benchmarks provide configuration guidance. We establish the applicable requirements before mapping checks and evidence.

Control monitoring and configuration drift

Define the expected configuration and compare it with the running environment through automated checks and scheduled reviews. Depending on scope, checks can cover newly exposed services, expanded permissions, credentials due for rotation, vulnerable dependencies, and changes to workloads or delivery pipelines.

For each failed check, record who receives it, its priority, who owns the fix, and how the result will be verified.

Recurring access reviews

Review user and service-account access with the people who own the relevant systems and data. Record approvals, removals, unresolved questions, and the changes needed to implement decisions.

Include automated identities and integrations as well as employees. AI agents, connectors, and delivery pipelines can carry privileges that survive long after the workflow that originally needed them.

Evidence collection and audit readiness

Connect the applicable controls to useful evidence: configuration checks, access-review records, change records, remediation results, and operating documentation.

Evidence records the system checked, the check or review date, the result, the reviewer, and any follow-up action. We organize it by requirement and review period so your team can trace a control-status report back to its supporting records.

Exceptions and remediation

Record why each exception is needed, who approves and owns it, any temporary controls that reduce the risk, and its review or expiration date. Track remediation separately with priorities, dependencies, and validation criteria; an approved exception still carries unresolved risk.

Where engineering support is included, Broadwing implements fixes and records the validation results alongside the findings.

Reporting and response responsibilities

Report control status, failed or missing checks, open findings, exceptions due for review, and remediation progress. Where monitoring and response are included, define covered systems and hours, triage responsibilities, escalation contacts, and the actions Broadwing is authorized to take.

Automated checks may run between scheduled reviews. The scope states who receives and acts on failures during that interval, including any live incident-response responsibilities.

The engagement can combine these models. A team might start with implementation, retain recurring assurance, and add managed support for particular systems or workflows.

Coverage is negotiated separately for every engagement: systems, hours, response commitments, escalation paths, and Broadwing/client responsibilities. We tailor the review schedule to the environment and its requirements. A schedule used on Broadwing projects includes:

• On pull requests and builds: Run code, secret, and dependency checks relevant to the change.
• Daily: Rescan deployed artifacts for newly disclosed vulnerabilities.
• Weekly: Triage findings, assign remediation, and review blockers.
• Monthly: Report control status, evidence gaps, exceptions, and remediation progress.
• Quarterly: Review user and service-account access, with access changes handled as they occur between reviews.

Automated scan frequency and staffed response coverage are agreed separately. Escalation rules define how urgent findings are handled between scheduled reviews.

The agreed service can provide:

• A control register linking each requirement to its owner, check or review cadence, and evidence source.
• A control-status report showing results, failed or missing checks, and follow-up actions.
• Access-review records and evidence organized for the relevant review period.
• An exception register with approvals and review dates, plus a prioritized remediation backlog.
• Documented escalation paths and operating responsibilities.
• Implemented remediation changes and validation results where engineering support is included.

Automated checks and scheduled reviews appear in the same report with their dates and owners, linked to the evidence required for your environment and applicable framework.

What a control-status report contains

Illustrative report structure; these are example controls and evidence fields, not client results.

Each entry includes its status, owner, and next review or remediation date. A missing scan or overdue review stays visible as missing evidence.

For a leading social media platform, Broadwing addressed audit findings through service-account credential rotation, authentication refactoring, and registry migration. High and critical vulnerabilities dropped by more than 95% within two months, with no service disruption, and the client met compliance milestones ahead of internal audit deadlines.

This result comes from a remediation engagement. Ongoing assurance adds the recurring checks, evidence collection, and reviews described above.

What does continuous compliance mean in practice?

It means maintaining controls and evidence between audits. Automated checks run on their configured schedule; access decisions, exceptions, and evidence reviews require assigned reviewers and review dates. The scope defines each cadence and who acts on failures.

How do you scope support for our compliance requirements?

Bring the applicable framework, audit findings, and evidence requests to scoping. We confirm which requirements we can support, the technical controls and evidence in scope, and the responsibilities of Broadwing, your internal team, and your auditor.

Is this the same as an audit or certification?

This service helps implement and operate controls, maintain evidence, and prepare for review. Formal audit or certification decisions sit with the appropriate independent assessor or certification body.

Who acts when a check fails or an alert fires?

The operating model names the owner. In a handoff or recurring-assurance arrangement, live operational response may remain with your team. Managed support defines Broadwing's monitoring, triage, escalation, and response responsibilities within the agreed coverage.

Can you work with our existing security and compliance tools?

We can configure checks and evidence collection in your current tools where they support the requirements. Scoping identifies missing checks, records that cannot be linked to controls, and integrations or other engineering work needed to close those gaps.

Can this include AI systems?

Yes. Relevant checks can cover agent permissions, data and tool access, logging, and the security evaluations needed when an AI workflow changes. The scope connects those checks to the wider control and remediation process.

Tell us which controls, evidence, or response responsibilities are difficult to maintain. We will review the fit and scope the coverage, deliverables, and engineering support with you.
