Core competencies

Seven service lines, one discipline: defensible evidence.

Discuss a requirement
01

Cybersecurity GRC & Control Assessment

Security program design, control implementation review, and assessment support against NIST SP 800-53, 800-171, and agency-specific baselines, with findings documented to withstand independent assessor review.

  • Control Gap Analysis
  • POA&M Development
  • SSP review
02

NIST RMF & Security Authorization Support

End-to-end Risk Management Framework support across categorization, control selection, implementation evidence, assessment, and authorization, producing packages structured to progress to an authorization decision without avoidable rework.

  • SSP / SAR / POA&M
  • Categorization
  • ConMon
03

ISSO / ISSM-Adjacent Governance Services

Embedded governance support for system owners and program offices: artifact management, control ownership tracking, audit response coordination, and the day-to-day compliance operations that keep systems authorized.

  • Artifact governance
  • Audit liaison
  • Control tracking
04

Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V)

Independent review of requirements, security controls, test evidence, and delivered outcomes, providing program leadership an objective assessment independent of the development or integration contractor.

  • Requirements traceability
  • Evidence review
  • Risk reporting
05

AI Governance Policy, Risk & Controls

Responsible-AI program design mapped to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework: AI inventory and use-case intake, model risk and impact assessment, transparency and accountability controls, and human-oversight requirements.

  • NIST AI RMF
  • Use-case intake
  • Model risk review
06

Audit Readiness & Program Improvement

Compliance documentation, policy and procedure development, and security program maturity improvement in advance of FISMA reviews, IG audits, and agency assessments, so required evidence is in place before it is requested.

  • Policy & procedure
  • FISMA / IG prep
  • HIPAA privacy & security
  • Process design
07

Section 508 & Accessibility Governance

Accessibility conformance governance for digital systems and documents, including ACR/VPAT review, remediation planning, and the policy and acceptance-criteria structure that keeps 508 obligations enforceable across a program.

  • ACR / VPAT review
  • Remediation plans
  • Policy design

Differentiators

Practitioner-led delivery under direct accountability.

Experience inside federal programs

Governance and information assurance work performed within federal programs, including ISSO and ISSM responsibilities. Requirements, review cycles, and evidence expectations are known from direct execution rather than from reference material.

GRC and AI governance in one practice

Traditional control compliance and emerging AI risk governance are handled by the same team, so AI systems inherit an established control structure rather than a separate and disconnected policy set.

Low overhead and direct access

A small-business structure means the practitioner assessing the controls is the point of contact. There is no intermediate account management layer and no substitution of proposed personnel after award.

Documentation written for its audience

Deliverables are written for the parties required to act on them, including system owners, Authorizing Officials, assessors, and auditors, with traceable evidence and prioritized remediation paths.

Independence by design

Grayce IT Solutions does not sell the systems it assesses. IV&V and assessment findings carry no product or integration conflict of interest.

How we engage

A defined path from scoping through sustainment.

Scope

A no-cost discovery call to confirm the system boundary, the framework in play, the date driving the work, and whether the requirement fits our service lines.

Baseline

Review of existing artifacts, controls, and prior findings to establish the program position against its required baseline.

Assess

Structured assessment or verification activity with traceable evidence and risk-ranked findings, communicated as they are identified rather than withheld until the final report.

Remediate

A prioritized and resourced remediation plan the program can execute, with support through closure and re-verification as required.

Sustain

Continuous monitoring cadence, recurring control reviews, and audit-readiness support so compliance holds between assessment cycles.

Who we serve

Built for federal civilian programs and the primes supporting them.

Primary focus

Federal civilian agencies

Human capital, HR, education, and health-adjacent systems needing RMF authorization support, control assessment, HIPAA privacy and security safeguards review, and sustained audit readiness.

Teaming

Prime contractors

Subcontract and teaming support on GRC, IV&V, and Section 508 task areas, including small-business subcontracting plan participation.

Growth area

AI program offices

Agencies and contractors standing up AI inventories, use-case review boards, and NIST AI RMF-aligned governance and oversight controls.

Commercial

Regulated commercial clients

Organizations pursuing SOC 2 readiness, ISO 27001 alignment, or CMMC/NIST 800-171 preparation with a federal-grade evidence discipline.

Commercial and small business

Federal-grade compliance discipline, applied outside the federal market.

Discuss a requirement

The evidence standard that holds up to a federal assessor also answers an enterprise customer’s security questionnaire, a prime contractor’s flowdown clause, and a regulator’s request for documentation. The same method is applied for commercial and small-business clients, scaled to the size of the organization.

Readiness

SOC 2 Readiness Support

Gap assessment against the Trust Services Criteria, control and policy development, and evidence collection designed so an examination opens with controls already operating rather than being built during fieldwork.

  • TSC gap assessment
  • Policy set
  • Evidence design
Alignment

ISO/IEC 27001 Alignment Support

Information security management system scoping, risk assessment and treatment methodology, Annex A control mapping, and internal review for organizations working toward certification through an accredited body.

  • ISMS scoping
  • Risk methodology
  • Annex A mapping
Flowdown

CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 Preparation

For suppliers carrying federal flowdown clauses: scoping of covered information, System Security Plan development, SPRS score calculation, and plan of action tracking in advance of assessment.

  • CUI scoping
  • SSP development
  • SPRS score
  • POA&M
Healthcare

HIPAA Privacy and Security Compliance

Security Rule risk analysis, review of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, policy and workforce training structure, and business associate agreement review for covered entities and business associates.

  • Risk analysis
  • Safeguards review
  • BAA review
  • Workforce training
Adoption

AI Governance for Commercial Adopters

Acceptable use policy, AI inventory and use-case intake, vendor and model review criteria, and human oversight requirements mapped to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, for companies adopting AI without a governance function in place.

  • NIST AI RMF
  • Use policy
  • Vendor AI review
Foundations

Security Program Foundations

For smaller organizations with no dedicated security function: a written policy set, a maintained risk register, vendor and third-party risk review, and a tested incident response plan, sized to the business rather than to an enterprise.

  • Policy set
  • Risk register
  • Vendor risk
  • Incident response
What these engagements are, and what they are not. This practice prepares organizations for assessment. It does not issue certifications, does not perform SOC 2 examinations, and is not an accredited CMMC third-party assessment organization. Certification and attestation are performed by independent bodies, and readiness work is deliberately kept separate from them so that independence is preserved.
Teaming and subcontracts

Available now as a subcontractor or teaming partner.

Grayce IT LLC does not hold a GSA Schedule, GWAC, or other multiple-award contract. Requirements on those vehicles are supported as a subcontractor or teaming partner to the vehicle holder. Requirements outside them are performed under open-market or simplified acquisition awards.

What is available immediately

  • Subcontract support on defined task areas. GRC and control assessment, RMF and authorization support, independent verification and validation, AI governance, and Section 508 conformance. Scoped as task-order surge, a single deliverable, or sustained support across a period of performance.
  • Named key personnel on proposals. Resume, certifications, and a letter of commitment provided on request.The practitioner named in the proposal performs the work. Personnel are not substituted after award.
  • Small-business subcontracting plan participation. Supports prime goals under FAR part 19 subcontracting plans as a small business concern.
  • Sources sought and RFI responses. Capability responses returned inside the stated window, in the format and page limit the notice requires.
  • Agreements executed without extended cycles. Nondisclosure agreements, teaming agreements, and subcontract terms are reviewed and returned by the principal directly.

Status and representations

  • SAM.gov registration in progress. Registration will be active at the time any offer or quotation is submitted, as required by FAR 4.1102(a).
  • UEI and CAGE available upon activation. Both will be published here and on the capability statement once assigned.
  • Representations and certifications completed in SAM at registration and available to any contracting officer or prime for review.
  • Experience stated accurately. Federal program experience is presented as individual practitioner experience, not as corporate past performance of Grayce IT LLC.

On the past performance factor. Under FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), an offeror without a record of relevant past performance may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on that factor. Grayce IT Solutions competes on the qualifications of the practitioner performing the work and on the defensibility of the documentation delivered.

Procurement questions

Questions a contracting officer asks first.

Responses to the questions most often required for a contract file. Additional information is available on request.

How can an agency buy these services?

Directly, through a purchase card transaction, a request for quote under simplified acquisition procedures, a set-aside or sole-source award where the requirement supports it, or a task order under an existing vehicle held by a prime we team with.

We are registered to do business with the federal government under our legal entity name, and entity data, classification codes, and points of contact can be provided in the format the contract file requires.

Are you a prime or a subcontractor?

Both, sized to the requirement. Grayce IT Solutions primes small professional services requirements where the scope matches its service lines and its capacity supports the period of performance.

For larger efforts we work as a subcontractor on GRC, IV&V, AI governance and Section 508 task areas, including work creditable toward a prime's small-business subcontracting plan.

Do you hold a facility clearance?

No. We do not hold a facility clearance and do not represent otherwise. Our work is oriented to federal civilian systems at low and moderate impact levels, where suitability determinations and agency background investigations are the usual requirement rather than a collateral clearance.

Personnel are available for standard federal suitability screening, agency-specific onboarding, and public trust investigations as a contract requires.

Remote or on site?

Primarily remote from North Carolina, which reduces labor rates and avoids travel charges for work that does not require facility access. On-site presence is available for assessment fieldwork, kickoff and milestone reviews, control interviews, and anything requiring access to a government facility or a restricted network.

Who performs the work?

The certified practitioner who scopes the engagement performs it. Grayce IT Solutions does not operate as a staffing pass-through, and the personnel proposed are the personnel assigned.

Where a requirement exceeds the capacity of a single practitioner, that determination is made during scoping, and we either propose a teaming arrangement or decline the requirement.

What do deliverables look like?

Traceable evidence rather than narrative. Depending on the service line: control assessment results mapped to specific control identifiers and assessment objectives, security and privacy plan reviews with tracked comments, POA&M entries with root cause and resourced milestones, IV&V findings with reproduction steps and severity rationale, accessibility findings mapped to WCAG success criteria, and governance artifacts written to remain usable through a change in personnel.

What is your availability to start?

A scoping call within a few business days at no cost, and a written scope with pricing shortly after. Start dates depend on onboarding and access provisioning, which is typically the longest lead item. Schedule feasibility is assessed during scoping and communicated before award rather than after.

How is pricing structured?

Firm-fixed-price for defined assessment and documentation work, labor-hour or time-and-materials where scope is genuinely exploratory, and not-to-exceed ceilings on either. Rates and a basis of estimate are provided in writing with any quote, and no work is billed outside the scope agreed in advance.
