Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

Strategic Security Leadership backed by a Technical Execution Team. We own your security roadmap, compliance, and operations.
GDPR: EU regulation GDPR: EU regulation
ISO 27K family ISO 27K family
HIPAA: US healthcare regulation HIPAA: US healthcare regulation
PCI DSS: Security standard PCI DSS: Security standard

Strategic Extension. For Enterprise CISOs, the regulatory landscape is shifting faster than internal teams can adapt. Up Security acts as a specialized extension of your GRC office. We don’t just “check boxes”; we provide the high-level expertise needed to interpret complex emerging regulations and integrate them into your existing corporate governance frameworks without stifling business velocity.

Navigating New Frontiers (AI & DORA). New mandates require new expertise. We specialize in closing the knowledge gap for emerging standards such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and DORA. We help you conduct specific gap analyses for these new domains, ensuring your organization is prepared for the next wave of enforcement regarding operational resilience and artificial intelligence.

TPRM at Scale. Managing Third-Party Risk for thousands of vendors is an operational nightmare. We help organizations move beyond manual questionnaires to build scalable Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) programs. We design the methodology, categorize vendors by risk tier, and help implement automation tools that streamline the assessment process across the supply chain.

Optimization & Automation. We help mature organizations transition from spreadsheet-based compliance to automated GRC platforms. By optimizing your control frameworks and unifying cross-jurisdictional requirements (mapping GDPR, ISO, and NIST together), we reduce the “Compliance Fatigue” experienced by your technical teams and provide clearer visibility to the Board.
