Regulated IT environments

Compliance implementation that stands up to real scrutiny.

Senior technical execution for organizations that need HIPAA, PCI, CMMC Level 2, Microsoft 365 controls, documentation, and remediation work moved from uncertain to defensible.

Implementation-first

Control mapping

Defensible documentation

Control Implementation Map

Structured

HIPAA

Administrative & technical safeguards turned into simple tasks. Compliance you actually operate, not just document.

PCI

Every control receives a clear evidence trail, with remediation sequenced to get you to a defensible SAQ or RoC.

CMMC L2

The NIST 800-171 controls implemented & an SSP and POA&M built to hold up under a C3PAO assessment.

Microsoft 365

Your tenant hardened to meet framework controls, rolled out so the configuration doesn't drift.

From gap to operating control

01 / 04

Core services

Practical compliance work, from control design to rollout.

Every engagement centers on hands-on execution - turning requirements into assigned work, working controls, and evidence that holds up under review. These are the core areas where I help regulated organizations make compliance operational.

Compliance implementation

Translate regulatory requirements into assigned work, evidence paths, repeatable procedures, and operating controls your team can maintain.

Security and governance alignment

Clarify ownership, define review rhythms, and connect governance expectations to technical and operational reality.

Microsoft 365 security strategy

Align identity, device, data protection, retention, and compliance features with the requirements your organization is actually facing.

Documentation and policy support

Create clean, usable documentation that describes how controls work, who owns them, and what evidence supports them.

Gap remediation planning

Prioritize findings, separate urgent work from noise, and build remediation plans that account for capacity, risk, and audit readiness.

Control mapping and operationalization

Map overlapping requirements into practical control sets so teams can reduce duplication and execute with consistency.

Framework focus

Clear implementation support for regulated requirements.

Clear implementation support for regulated requirements.

These are the regulatory programs I support most often. The approach is consistent across all of them: interpret the requirement accurately, map it to practical controls, and produce documentation that reflects how your environment actually runs.

Protected health information

HIPAA

Support for safeguard implementation, policy alignment, risk management workflows, and evidence that reflects how the environment is actually operated.

Payment environments

PCI

Practical support for scoping, control interpretation, remediation planning, and documentation that helps payment-related work stay organized.

Defense supply chain

CMMC Level 2

NIST 800-171 implementation support, control mapping, documentation structure, and remediation sequencing for contractor environments.

Engagement approach

A structured path from uncertainty to operating discipline.

The work is designed to produce useful artifacts, working controls, and clear next steps—not abstract recommendations that sit untouched after delivery.

Schedule a consultation

Bring structure to the compliance work that cannot stay vague.

Tell me what you're facing — the framework, the deadline, the environment, or the finding that can't stay open. I'll reply personally with a clear read on how we'd move it forward.

Sherman Consulting LLC provides IT compliance advisory and implementation services, tailored to each client's specific environment. Compliance is an ongoing, shared effort: engagements are designed to make your controls

practical and defensible, but final audit results and regulatory determinations rest with auditors, assessors, and regulators, and no specific outcome, certification, or audit result is guaranteed.
