Control Verification

See It. Fix It.
Prove It.

Your security program assumes your controls work.

CoreGuardian connects to the tools you already run, checks whether your controls are still doing their job, and tells you which handful of problems actually put the business at risk. The audit evidence comes with it.

What nobody is checking

GRC checks that a control was deployed. The SOC watches what fires. Engineering knows what they built. Nobody checks continuously that the control is still running, still configured correctly, and still working as intended.

That gap is where risk actually lives. It is also why the board question takes two weeks to answer.

The checklist says — what CoreGuardian finds

  • EDR deployed across all endpoints

    Agent installed, but tamper protection is off on 40 hosts, the sensor is three versions behind, and 14 servers sit in an exclusion list nobody has reviewed since onboarding.

  • MFA enforced for every administrator account

    Enforced in policy, and six accounts sit outside it — two break-glass logins nobody has rotated in 14 months, three service principals authenticating with static secrets, and one contractor admin who left in March. All six can reach production.

  • Zero Trust required for production systems

    A policy exception filed last month removed the requirement for two production systems. No business owner signed off. Nothing in the SOC or GRC tooling flagged it.

  • Quarterly vulnerability scan complete

    The scan ran and returned 1,400 findings ranked by CVSS. Nothing in that list tells you which three put the business at risk, which sit on systems in audit scope, or which are being exploited today.

How CoreGuardian works

  1. Connect

    Read-only API access to the tools you already run. No agents, nothing to rip out. We match up the duplicates so you get one record per asset and identity.

  2. Verify

    We check what your controls are actually doing against what your policy says they should. When something drifts, you hear about it that day, not at the next audit.

  3. Prioritize

    We look at the whole organization before we rank anything. CVE severity is one input out of many. You get a short list of what actually puts the business at risk, and someone accountable for each item.

  4. Evidence

    The same data that drove the fix becomes your audit evidence. NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, OSCAL export. One set of facts for your board, your auditor and your customers.

What goes into the ranking

  • Business criticality
  • Internet exposure
  • Privileged identity reach
  • Compliance scope
  • Active exploitation (CISA KEV / EPSS)
  • Zero Trust pillar posture
  • Quantum-vulnerable cryptography

The same CVE on a domain controller and on a dev box are not the same problem. Only one of them needs fixing tonight.

Where the boundary sits

What we do today

We detect, investigate and rank. Read-only access. We do not write to your environment. You get verified control state and a short list of what matters, with someone accountable for each item.

What comes next

Remediation with human approval. Opt-in, per action type, fully audit-logged. We will not take write access before you trust the detection.
