Identity, MFA, and access reviews
Who has access, why, how they authenticate, and how often you review it.

⚡ TL;DR · 30-second answerNeed SOC 2, NIST, CMMC, CIS, HIPAA, or FTC Safeguards? Do not pay five vendors to rebuild the same control evidence. SideGuy builds one operator-owned compliance crosswalk that maps access control, MFA, logging, incident response, vendor reviews, training, and evidence monitoring across frameworks. The overlap is usually 70-80%. Text PJ at 858-461-8054 and send the framework list.

That's PJ — a real human in Solana Beach.Text him the frameworks and the deadline.
Map compliance once. Satisfy many frameworks.
SOC 2, NIST 800-171, CMMC, CIS Controls, HIPAA, and FTC Safeguards all ask the same core question in different language: do you control access, prove it, monitor it, and respond when something breaks? SideGuy turns that overlap into one reusable evidence map.
No retainer, no Big-4 markup, no "buy this platform forever" answer.
What to text
The first message can be rough. Send who is asking, which frameworks are in play, your tool stack, and the deadline.
Hey PJ — customer/insurer/prime is asking for [SOC 2 + NIST + CMMC]. We use [Vanta/Drata/spreadsheets/none]. Deadline is [date]. Can I send the request?70-80%typical operational overlap across controls, evidence, and owners

The crosswalk: same work, different labels
A framework matrix should not be a spreadsheet coffin. Each row below is the operating work you actually have to do. The chips show where the same evidence usually carries.
Logging, monitoring, and alerting
Prove the important systems emit logs, someone watches them, and alerts become action.

Operator-honest pitch: don't pay 5x for 5 frameworks
The vendors are not bad. Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, spreadsheets, ticketing systems — they can all be fine. The expensive part is pretending each framework needs its own universe. You should build the control map once, choose the tools that fit the client, and keep the evidence layer in a shape you own.
Build the operating layer once.
SideGuy maps your controls across the frameworks, names the gaps, writes the owner/evidence system, and leaves you with a reusable compliance engine. If a customer adds a second framework later, you update the map instead of starting over.
