Security alignment.
Not security theater.
We build toward widely accepted frameworks and defensible baselines. We do not claim certifications we do not control, and we do not chase checkboxes that do not change real-world risk.
Two postures.
Only one holds up.
Compliance is downstream of correct architecture. Most of the industry has that order reversed. Here is what the difference looks like in practice.
What most MSPs claim
We will get you compliant. We will check every box on every framework. We have a tool for that. We have a template for that. The real environment underneath stays the same. The audit gets papered over. The underlying risk does not move.
What we actually do
We align the environment to widely accepted frameworks. We build baselines that are supportable and repeatable. We document what is in place so your posture is demonstrable. When an auditor or a carrier asks, the evidence is already there.
How we approach
alignment.
Three lenses we hold every control decision up against. Nothing ships into your environment that does not pass all three.
Framework-aligned
We build toward practical alignment with widely accepted frameworks. CIS Controls and NIST-style approaches, scoped to your risk profile and the conversations you need to have.
Operationally defensible
Policies and tools only matter if they are implemented, monitored, and supportable. We focus on controls that survive contact with the business, not ones that only look good on paper.
Evidence-friendly
When a conversation with an auditor or carrier is coming, we help organize documentation and artifacts so your posture is demonstrable. Evidence trails, not last-minute scrambles.
Frameworks we build toward.
OneBox is not a compliance product. But a correctly built foundation positions you for the frameworks and requirements that come up most often in real SMB conversations.
HIPAA Alignment
Access, audit logging, and device baselines positioned for covered-entity and business-associate conversations.
SOC 2 Readiness
Controls and evidence patterns scoped to the Trust Services Criteria you actually care about.
CMMC Preparation
Identity governance and endpoint hygiene built for defense-adjacent supply chain requirements.
Cyber Insurance Requirements
MFA, EDR, backup, and incident-response posture lined up with what underwriters now expect.
DISCLAIMER · CyberSmith does not provide formal compliance certification. OneBox positions your environment for audit readiness.
Honest about
what we do.
Compliance language is where trust is earned or lost. Here is what we will put in writing, and what we will not.
- We align controls to widely accepted best practices and reduce risk materially.
- We build baselines that are supportable and repeatable under real operations.
- We help you prepare for compliance conversations with auditors, carriers, and partners.
- We document what is in place so your posture can be demonstrated.
- We do not certify your environment on any framework.
- We do not promise specific audit outcomes.
- We do not chase checkboxes that do not change real-world risk.
- We do not sell compliance as a product separate from the foundation.
Compliance follows
a correct foundation.
