How IRM Works With Its Partners
IRM Consulting & Advisory is an independent Virtual CISO practice. The partners below supply the platforms, audits and services a security and compliance program needs; IRM supplies the CISO who designs the program, chooses the right tools for your size and sector, runs them with your team, and answers to your board, your customers and your auditor. Recommendations follow the risk assessment, not the partner list, and clients contract with each vendor directly.
Compliance Automation Platforms
Partners: Drata, Vanta, Secureframe, Thoropass, Hyperproof, VComply, FutureFeed
What They Do
Compliance automation platforms connect to your cloud, identity, HR and code repositories, test controls continuously and collect the evidence a SOC2, ISO27001, ISO 42001 or CMMC auditor asks for. FutureFeed is built specifically for CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 System Security Plans.
What It Means For You
IRM configures the platform, maps its control tests to the framework you are pursuing, writes the policies the platform cannot write for you, and runs the remediation. You pay the platform vendor directly; IRM recommends the platform that fits your stack and budget, or runs the program without one for teams under roughly 20 people.
See SOC2 ComplianceAudit and Attestation Firms
Partners: A-LIGN, GRF CPAs & Advisors, Thoropass
What They Do
Licensed CPA firms and accredited certification bodies issue the SOC2 report or ISO certificate. They must be independent of the consultant who prepared you, which is why IRM does not audit its own clients.
What It Means For You
IRM prepares you for the audit, scopes it so you are not paying for controls you do not need, sits in the auditor walkthroughs, and answers evidence requests. Working with auditors we already know shortens the audit window and removes surprises in the findings.

Partners: CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Fortinet, Check Point, Proofpoint, Senteon
What They Do
Endpoint detection and response, next-generation firewalls, email security and endpoint hardening are the technical controls that every framework, and every cyber insurer, expects to see operating.
What It Means For You
IRM selects and sizes the platform against your risk assessment, oversees deployment through your IT team or managed service provider, tunes the policies, and turns the platform telemetry into the monitoring evidence auditors ask for. IRM is vendor-neutral: the recommendation follows the assessment, not the partner list.
See Cloud Security ControlsPenetration Testing and Vulnerability Management
Partners: Vonahi Security, Astra Security, SecurityGate
What They Do
Automated and manual penetration testing, continuous vulnerability scanning and, for industrial and operational technology environments, OT cyber risk management.
What It Means For You
IRM scopes the test to what your customers and auditors require, reviews the findings, prioritises them on a 5x5 risk matrix, manages the fixes with your engineers, and issues the remediation letter your customers ask for after a test.
See Penetration TestingSecurity Awareness and Phishing Simulation
Partners: Wizer Training, Symbol Security
What They Do
Short-form security awareness training and phishing simulation, with the completion records that SOC2, ISO27001, PCI DSS and cyber insurance applications require.
What It Means For You
IRM sets the training calendar, tailors the content to your roles and the frameworks you are certifying against, runs the phishing campaigns, and reports the results to leadership as part of the security program.
See Training and AwarenessManaged Service Provider and Distribution Channels
Partners: Pax8, ScalePad, Towerwall, Cyvatar
What They Do
Cloud marketplaces and managed security providers that supply licensing, day-to-day IT operations and 24x7 monitoring to small and mid-sized businesses.
What It Means For You
Many IRM clients already have an MSP. IRM works alongside the provider as the client's Virtual CISO: the MSP runs the tools, IRM owns the security program, the risk register and the compliance roadmap, and reports to the board. For MSPs, IRM is the vCISO and compliance practice you can offer your own clients.
