Another audit finding. A GRC platform that never got past the first use case. More requirements, but not more people to handle them. HG brings business, cybersecurity, technology and GRC experience together to figure out what actually needs attention and help get the work done. We assess, build, fix and help run programs, not just tell you what to do.
CPA-led Cyber GRC since 2016 • Certified WOSB • Why Hotman Group?
Hotman Group is a specialized cybersecurity and Cyber GRC professional-services firm, founded in 2016 and certified as a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB). Organizations hire HG when they need experienced practitioners to solve a complex problem, build or repair a program, implement recommendations, extend an overloaded team or take ownership of ongoing work.
HG connects business judgment, cybersecurity, technology and GRC. Our Managing Partner brings CPA, MBA, CCISO, CISSP and CMMC CCP credentials, and our team brings the practical experience to make those disciplines work together. We work across strategy, risk, compliance, technology, remediation, implementation and program operations. The firm can serve as a focused expert, an execution partner, fractional vCISO or vGRC leadership, additional capacity, or an ongoing managed Cyber GRC partner.
Cybersecurity problems rarely stay inside one service category. Risk affects frameworks. Frameworks affect technology. Technology affects evidence. Evidence affects audits. Audits consume the team. HG looks across the whole situation and coordinates the capabilities needed to solve it.
Multiple frameworks, disconnected processes, unclear ownership, recurring findings or too many priorities competing for the same people.
Organizations that need senior expertise and real execution without building every capability as another full-time internal role.
Leaders who need more than an assessment, slide deck or generic template and want a partner who can help implement, operate and improve the answer.
HG can join wherever you need us: to assess, build, fix, implement technology, or help your team keep the program running.
Assess what is working, identify what is not, establish priorities and create a program that reduces risk while supporting the business.
Add customer, regulatory and assurance requirements without building a separate cybersecurity program for every framework.
Move from a list of gaps to implemented changes, defensible evidence and operating practices the organization can sustain.
Buying a tool is easier than doing the work around it. Companies invest in GRC technology and often never get much beyond the first use case. We help select, configure and improve platforms, then put the processes, ownership and recurring work behind them.
Create practical governance around vendors and AI that connects to the cybersecurity, risk and compliance program already in place.
Add experienced leadership and execution when the internal team is overloaded, a leader leaves, or the organization does not need another full-time role.
You don't have to start from scratch or buy every service. Some clients need a clear direction. Others need us in the middle of the work, or helping run it over time.
HG supported a global consulting organization through scoping, remediation, SSP development, technical decisions and formal assessment readiness. The client achieved a clean CMMC Level 2 certification and supported a federal business that grew to more than 200 employees.
HG designed a right-sized control environment for an AI-focused company, implemented the program in a GRC platform, developed governance and documentation, supported remediation and helped the client successfully enter its Type 2 operating period.
For nearly five years, HG has worked as an extension of one organization’s internal team, monitoring controls, coordinating assessments, supporting owners and expanding the program while internal GRC headcount remained flat.
HG helped consolidate more than 20 tools, automate workflows and enable 95% evidence reuse across SOC, ISO, CSA and DORA. The organization handled 33% more audit volume without adding resources.
Our Managing Partner is a CPA and MBA as well as a cybersecurity practitioner. That means we look at the risk, the money, the people, the technology and what the organization can actually sustain. And we have a team that helps turn that judgment into real work.
A defined assessment, strategy, roadmap, implementation, remediation, readiness effort or other outcome with a specific scope.
Experienced practitioners work alongside the team to create what is missing, repair what is broken and move the plan into operation.
HG professionals take work off an overloaded internal team and help move recurring priorities, evidence, findings and commitments forward.
Recurring cybersecurity and GRC work is owned and operated alongside the organization instead of continually returning to the internal backlog.
Fractional or interim leadership, prioritization, stakeholder coordination and executive support without another full-time leadership hire.
An experienced outside view when something is not working but the organization does not yet know the right scope or starting point.
See how the GRC Health Check works →HG helps organizations determine what can be reused, what is genuinely new and how each requirement belongs in the broader cybersecurity program.
No. HG performs assessments when they are useful, but its work commonly continues through program design, implementation, remediation, documentation, technology enablement, readiness, ongoing operation and maturity. Organizations often hire HG precisely because they need someone to help execute the recommendations.
Yes. HG frequently serves as an extension of existing leadership and delivery teams. The role can be a focused specialist, additional capacity, fractional leadership or ownership of recurring Cyber GRC activities.
Yes. Complex problems often begin with conflicting priorities, fragmented processes or a general sense that the program is not working. HG can diagnose the situation, identify the most important issues and recommend a practical starting point. The GRC Health Check is one defined option for this situation.
Yes. HG designs multi-framework programs that reuse controls, processes and evidence where appropriate. Experience includes CMMC, NIST, ISO 27001, SOC, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOX, PCI DSS, CIS Controls, DORA and other customer or regulatory requirements.
Yes. Through managed Cyber GRC, vGRC, vCISO and additional-capacity arrangements, HG can help operate controls, coordinate assessments, monitor evidence, manage findings, support owners and keep the program moving throughout the year.
Use the inquiry form to describe the business pressure, deadline, program problem, framework, technology issue or capacity need. An approximate description is enough. HG will review the situation and determine whether the next step should be a focused project, diagnostic, implementation effort or ongoing support.
Most organizations aren't short on frameworks, reports or advice. They're short on time, people and sometimes the specialized expertise to put it all into practice. Tell us what's going on. We'll figure out together what's needed and whether HG is the right fit.
