FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during an audit?
Opening Meeting: Auditors explain scope, methodology, and schedule. You present your compliance program overview and organizational structure. Documentation Review: Auditors examine policies, procedures, risk assessments, and security architecture. Sentral GRC provides instant access to organized evidence. Control Testing: Auditors validate that controls work as documented through sampling, interviews, and system demonstrations. Automated reports expedite this phase. Findings & Remediation: Ay gaps or deficiencies are documented with an opportunity to address findings before final report issuance. Closing & Certification: Final report delivered with certification recommendation. Successful audits result in official certification or attestation.
How do I create compliant security policies?
Every compliance framework requires documented security policies that are comprehensive and practical. Sentral GRC includes policy templates that are mapped to each framework’s requirements, eliminating the need to write from scratch. The platform’s AI-powered NLP analyzes your policies against framework language, identifying gaps or inconsistencies. Policy validation s tools ensure documented procedures match actual implementation.
How often do I need to update compliance documentation?
Policies and procedures must be updated annual or when regulatory changes occur. Control testing must be updated semi-annually to ensure security controls operate effectively as documented. Evidence collection occurs throughout the year e.g., logs, screenshots, configurations. Risk assessments should occur quarterly to continuously monitor emerging threats and change management.
What happens after I am certified?
Certification isn’t a one-time achievement as annual re-assessments are required. Sentral GRC’s continuous monitoring ensures you remain audit-ready throughout the year by tracking certification expiration dates, schedules renewals activities, and maintains evidence collection automatically. vCISO services ensure annual policies and procedures are updated to maintain compliant with regulatory updates.
Do I need a full-time compliance officer?
Most SMBs don’t require a dedicated full-time compliance officer, especially when using modern GRC platforms. However, there should be a designated owner of the compliance program. Sentral GRC significantly reduces the required compliance hours between 50-70% in comparison to manual compliance management.
What is the cost of compliance certifications?
Certification costs are dependent on the size of the organization. SMBs usually spend between $50,000 to $150,000 for initial certification with annual maintenance costs between $5,000 – $25,000. Sentral GRC reduces this total cost through automation, cross-mapping of multiple cybersecurity frameworks, and reduction of certification timeline.
