Compliance Readiness

Assess current controls, identify gaps, develop documentation, organize evidence, and prepare teams for audits or customer reviews through practical readiness and remediation support.

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment

Evaluate assets, threats, vulnerabilities, controls, and business impact to create a prioritized risk treatment plan that supports informed SOX cybersecurity decisions and formal documentation.

Security Program Development

Build or mature the policies, governance, operating processes, metrics, and decision rights needed to make cybersecurity controls repeatable, measurable, and sustainable.

Penetration Testing

Controlled attack simulations and penetration tests help validate whether applications, infrastructure, and processes resist attack and expose weaknesses before they affect critical systems.

Managed Detection Response

Continuous monitoring, investigation, and response across existing security tools creates operational evidence that supports control oversight while reducing the burden on internal security teams.

Audit-Ready Security

Make SOX Compliance More Defensible

SOX cybersecurity compliance requires more than policies that exist on paper. DeepSeas connects risk assessment, control development, security operations, and evidence management so organizations can demonstrate how cybersecurity risks are identified, addressed, monitored, and reported. Our practitioners help align technical safeguards with governance expectations, reduce audit friction, and establish a clearer record of ongoing control performance across the environment.
