GRC Solutions Agency (GSA) is an information security governance, risk, and compliance consultancy based in Sacramento and San Francisco, California. We partner with organizations operating in regulated industries — healthcare, financial services, federal supply chain, and SaaS providers serving enterprise buyers — to design compliance programs that are defensible by construction rather than reconstructed under audit pressure.
Frameworks We Implement
Our engagements are anchored in industry-recognized control frameworks. We map client environments to NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF 2.0), NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171 for CUI environments, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 for privacy information management, SOC 2 Type I and Type II across the five Trust Services Criteria, HIPAA Security Rule, and CMMC Level 2 for defense contractors. Where clients maintain multiple obligations, we build a unified control set using the Secure Controls Framework (SCF) to eliminate duplicate evidence collection.
What Practitioner-Led Means
Every senior consultant at GSA has served as an internal control owner, security engineer, or compliance lead before joining the firm. We write policies our teams have implemented, design control architectures we have operated, and produce evidence packages we have defended in front of auditors and regulators. That operating background shapes the deliverables: policies reference real systems, procedures are executable by the teams that own them, and control narratives describe what actually happens rather than what a template says should happen.
Engagement Model
A typical engagement begins with a scoping workshop and gap assessment against the target framework, followed by a remediation roadmap prioritized by risk exposure and audit timeline. From there we run parallel workstreams across policy authorship, control implementation, evidence pipeline design, and readiness testing. Clients receive a live control register, mapped evidence inventory, and quarter-over-quarter posture reporting suitable for board and customer review.
Federal Procurement Support
GSA also advises private companies pursuing federal contracts on the compliance posture required to sell into government supply chains, including FedRAMP readiness planning, GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) documentation, and controlled unclassified information (CUI) handling. We are an independent private consultancy and are not affiliated with the U.S. General Services Administration or any government body.
