The Security & Compliance Gap Putting Your Business at Risk
Evolving Threat Landscape
Cybercriminals are more sophisticated than ever, deploying ransomware, phishing campaigns, and advanced persistent threats that target small and mid-sized businesses disproportionately. Raleigh-Durham companies face thousands of attempted intrusions every day, and a single successful breach can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in remediation, lost revenue, and reputational damage. Many organizations don't realize they've been compromised until weeks or even months after the initial intrusion, allowing attackers to exfiltrate sensitive data undetected.
Complex Compliance Requirements
From HIPAA and PCI-DSS to CMMC and SOC 2, regulatory requirements are becoming increasingly complex and punitive. Organizations in the Research Triangle Park area — spanning healthcare, finance, federal contracting, and legal sectors — must navigate a labyrinth of compliance frameworks simultaneously. Failing an audit doesn't just mean fines; it can mean losing lucrative contracts, damaging client trust, and facing legal liability. Yet most internal IT teams lack the specialized knowledge to maintain continuous compliance across multiple overlapping standards.
PTG's Integrated Security & Compliance Framework
A unified strategy that protects your infrastructure while ensuring you meet every regulatory obligation.
Assess & Identify
Every engagement begins with a comprehensive security risk assessment that maps your entire attack surface. We identify vulnerabilities across your network infrastructure, cloud environments, endpoints, and human processes. Our assessment methodology aligns with NIST 800-171, ensuring the results are immediately applicable to compliance requirements. We document every finding with severity ratings, business impact analysis, and clear remediation timelines so your leadership team understands exactly where the risks lie and what it takes to resolve them.
Protect & Harden
Based on assessment findings, we implement layered security controls that address your specific risk profile. This includes next-generation firewalls, endpoint detection and response, email security gateways, multi-factor authentication, and network segmentation. We don't deploy one-size-fits-all solutions — every recommendation is tailored to your industry, budget, and operational requirements. Our hardening procedures follow CIS benchmarks and industry best practices, ensuring your defenses meet or exceed the standards required by your regulatory frameworks.
Monitor & Maintain
Security isn't a one-time project — it's an ongoing discipline. PTG provides continuous monitoring through our Security Operations Center, delivering 24/7 threat detection and incident response capabilities. We conduct regular vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and compliance audits to ensure your security posture remains strong as threats evolve. Our clients receive monthly security reports with actionable insights, trend analysis, and recommendations for continuous improvement. When compliance audits approach, we prepare all documentation and evidence packages to ensure a smooth, successful process.
Comprehensive Security & Compliance Services
From risk assessments to incident response, every tool your organization needs to stay secure and compliant.
Security Risk Assessments
Thorough evaluation of your security posture using NIST, CIS, and ISO 27001 frameworks. We identify critical vulnerabilities before attackers do, providing detailed remediation roadmaps with prioritized action items. Our assessments cover network infrastructure, cloud configurations, application security, and human-factor risks including social engineering susceptibility. Every assessment includes an executive summary for leadership and a technical deep-dive for your IT team.
Compliance Management
Navigate complex regulatory landscapes with confidence. We manage compliance across HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC, SOC 2, NIST 800-171, and state-specific requirements. Our compliance team maintains continuous documentation, conducts gap analyses, and prepares you for audits months in advance. We've helped hundreds of Triangle-area businesses achieve and maintain compliance without disrupting day-to-day operations — many passing their first audit with zero findings.
Penetration Testing
Simulate real-world attacks against your infrastructure to identify exploitable weaknesses. Our certified ethical hackers perform external and internal penetration tests, web application testing, wireless security assessments, and social engineering campaigns. We provide detailed reports with proof-of-concept demonstrations so you can understand the true impact of each vulnerability. All testing follows PTES and OWASP methodologies for comprehensive coverage.
Incident Response
When a security event occurs, every minute counts. PTG's incident response team provides rapid containment, forensic investigation, and recovery services. We develop customized incident response plans tailored to your organization's infrastructure and regulatory requirements. Our team conducts tabletop exercises and simulations to ensure your staff knows exactly what to do when an incident occurs. Post-incident, we deliver comprehensive forensic reports suitable for legal proceedings and regulatory notifications.
Security Awareness Training
Your employees are your first line of defense — and your biggest vulnerability. PTG delivers engaging, interactive security awareness training programs that transform your workforce into a human firewall. Our curriculum covers phishing recognition, social engineering tactics, password hygiene, physical security, and data handling procedures. We conduct regular simulated phishing campaigns to measure progress and identify employees who need additional coaching. Training programs are customized to your industry's specific threat landscape.
Cloud Security & Governance
As organizations migrate to cloud platforms, security must follow. PTG ensures your AWS, Azure, or Microsoft 365 environments are configured according to security best practices and compliance requirements. We implement identity and access management policies, encryption standards, data loss prevention rules, and continuous configuration monitoring. Our cloud governance framework ensures that as your cloud footprint grows, security controls scale with it — preventing the misconfigurations that cause the majority of cloud-related breaches.
