Compliance And Cyber Insurance Readiness Atlanta, GA
We turn a vague compliance obligation into a clear, measurable target, and take the documentation and questionnaire work off your plate.
UniVirtual Solutions runs compliance and cyber insurance readiness programs for businesses in Atlanta and across Georgia: controls mapped to the regulation that actually applies to you, evidence collected as you go, and a score that improves quarter over quarter. Most engagements start with a client questionnaire or an underwriter at renewal rather than a regulator.
Compliance Arrives As A Questionnaire You Cannot Honestly Answer
For most businesses, compliance does not begin with a regulator. It begins with a client sending a security questionnaire, or an underwriter asking forty questions at renewal, or a prime contractor making a control set a condition of the next purchase order. The questions are specific and the honest answers are frequently no. If a renewal is coming up, start with the five cyber insurance questions that catch businesses out.
What follows is usually a scramble. Somebody guesses at the answers, a policy document is written the week before it is needed, and the organization carries a quiet risk that the attestation it signed does not match what is actually configured. That is a worse position than being non-compliant, because it converts a technical gap into a representation problem.
Compliance run properly is not a project with an end date. It is a program: controls mapped to the regulation that actually applies to you, evidence collected as you go, and a score you can watch improve quarter over quarter.
How A Compliance Engagement Runs
The aim is that the next cyber insurance questionnaire, audit or renewal is answered from a folder that already exists rather than from memory and hope.
We map your controls to the framework that genuinely applies: HIPAA, GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rule, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 or state privacy law, aligned to NIST CSF 2.0, CISA guidance and CIS Controls v8, where each applies.
An initial cyber risk assessment establishes where you are, and a live compliance score gives you a number that moves rather than a binder that does not.
A written information security policy, an incident response plan and the supporting policies are drafted and then maintained, not written once and left to date.
Quarterly posture reviews produce audit-ready evidence for compliance and cyber insurance, so the proof exists before anybody asks for it.

Advisory When You Need A Security Voice In The Room
Some organizations need more than a control set. They need somebody who can sit in front of a board, a client or an underwriter and explain the security position credibly, and who can own a remediation roadmap between those conversations.
For those organizations we provide dedicated advisory hours, executive and board reporting, roadmap development and priority remediation coordination. It is the difference between having controls and having a strategy.
What This Means Where You Work
Law Firms
Client security questionnaires from corporate counsel are now routine, and cyber insurance policies increasingly require specific controls. We answer both from evidence rather than optimism.
Distribution & Logistics
Retail and healthcare customers push their own compliance obligations down the supply chain. Meeting them is often a condition of keeping the account.
Manufacturing
Defense and aerospace supply chains bring control requirements that arrive with a purchase order attached. Readiness is commercial, not just technical.
Where Our Scope Ends, Stated Plainly
A compliance engagement with us does not include formal certification or audit sign-off for SOC 2 or ISO 27001, and it is not legal advice. Those require an independent auditor and a lawyer respectively, and any provider telling you otherwise is selling you something they cannot deliver.
What we do is get you genuinely ready for that auditor, keep you ready, and make sure the evidence they ask for already exists. Penetration testing is scoped separately, because a real test is a real engagement rather than a line item.
Questions We Get Asked
Plain answers to the compliance and cyber insurance questions owners raise before they sign. For anything not covered here, an engineer at 678-374-4352 will give you a straight reply.
HIPAA, GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rule, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and state privacy law, aligned underneath to NIST CSF 2.0, CISA guidance and CIS Controls v8, where each applies.
We support it directly and provide the renewal documentation. Where a control is missing, you hear it from us before you sign rather than after a claim is declined.
We draft and maintain them, including the written information security policy and incident response plan. They stay current rather than aging in a folder.
Yes. Responding to customer and prospect questionnaires is part of the program, which removes a task most operations teams dread.
No. Formal certification requires an independent auditor. We get you ready, keep you ready, and make sure the evidence exists when they arrive.
For most organizations the first meaningful movement in the compliance score happens inside a quarter, because the earliest gaps are usually documentation and access control rather than expensive tooling. A realistic path to audit-ready is two to four quarters depending on the framework and your starting position, and you can watch it progress rather than waiting for a verdict at the end.
You already have the evidence pack. Quarterly posture reviews exist precisely so that an audit becomes a retrieval exercise rather than a fire drill, and we support you through the questions directly.
Certified Engineers Across Georgia
Our compliance and cyber insurance readiness clients range from Alpharetta and Marietta down to Savannah, Augusta, Columbus and Macon, and south into Tampa, Orlando and Fort Myers. Control mapping and evidence work happens remotely, and an engineer visits when a control has to be checked on site.
What To Look For In Compliance And Cyber Insurance Cover
Compliance and cyber insurance support is easy to promise, and the honest test is the evidence and scope a provider will commit to on paper. Ask which framework they will map your controls to, and whether it is the one that genuinely applies to you: HIPAA, GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rule, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 or state privacy law.
Ask what evidence you will hold at the end. Compliance and cyber insurance readiness should leave you with a written information security policy, an incident response plan and quarterly posture reviews, so the next cyber insurance questionnaire is answered from a folder that already exists.
Ask where their scope ends. Ours stops short of formal certification, audit sign-off and legal advice, and we say so plainly. That is the standard we hold ourselves to for compliance and cyber insurance in Atlanta.
Turn A Vague Obligation Into A Measurable Target
A conversation about the regulation you actually fall under, and an honest view of the gap between where you are and where you need to be. Cyber insurance readiness in Atlanta starts with an honest gap review, not a policy quote.
