Our Audit Methodology:
Every WillFortify engagement follows a consistent, documented process designed to produce defensible, repeatable results.
Phase 1 — Scoping & Stakeholder Alignment:
We define the assessment boundary, data classification, applicable control frameworks, and success criteria in collaboration with your technical and executive stakeholders before any data collection begins.
Phase 2 — Evidence Collection & Technical Analysis:
Evidence is gathered through structured interviews, documentation review, configuration exports, and — where applicable — authenticated technical testing. All collection is conducted under a defined rules of engagement document.
Phase 3 — Gap Analysis & Risk Quantification:
Identified gaps are evaluated for likelihood of exploitation and potential business impact. Risk ratings follow a documented methodology, not subjective judgment, allowing direct comparison across findings and audit cycles.
Phase 4 — Reporting:
Every engagement produces two deliverables:
Phase 5 — Findings Review & Remediation Planning:
We conduct a structured debrief with your technical and leadership teams, walk through every material finding, and facilitate a remediation planning session with defined ownership, sequencing, and target dates.
Phase 6 — Validation Testing:
(optional)Post-remediation, we return to verify control implementation and confirm that identified gaps have been closed to the standard required by the applicable framework.
