# Advisory & Engineering Services | Novacoast > Assessments, penetration testing, compliance, security engineering, integration and custom development. Scoped, fixed, and delivered by the people who do the work. Canonical: https://novacoast.com/services/ # Engineers for the work you need done. Hire our engineers for an assessment, a compliance project, or the integration your team can't get finished. [Request a scoping call](https://novacoast.com/contact-us/)Explore penetration testing ## A risk register you can act on. Find the gaps in your security program, then agree on what to fix first. Risk & maturity assessment A risk register and a roadmap, ordered by what cuts the most risk soonest. CISO services Build your security program from the ground up, then find and train a permanent CISO to lead it. Microsoft security assessment What you are paying for in Defender, Sentinel, and Entra, what is turned on, and what is missing. ## Pass the audit. Keep the controls. QSAs on staff. We find the gaps, fix them, build the evidence, and sit with you through the audit. The work stays in place, so the next one is shorter. card data Scoping, gap assessment, remediation, and the Report on Compliance from a QSA who has been in the room with your acquirer. health data Risk analysis, policy work, and HITRUST readiness for hospitals, payers, and the vendors that serve them. defense supply chain Control mapping, the SSP and POA&M, and remediation ahead of a C3PAO assessment. corporate controls Build the ISMS or IT general controls, run the internal audit, and hand the certification body a clean file. ## Penetration testing that shows you the path, not the score. Our testers go after your environment the way a real attacker would. You get findings your engineers can reproduce, a debrief with the testers who found them, and a retest after the fixes. [Explore penetration testing](https://novacoast.com/penetration-testing/) ## Connect the tools your security team relies on. We connect security tools to the systems they protect. Palo Alto sends us their largest customers for this work. ### Deploy and tune. SIEM, EDR, firewall, DLP, and email security, configured by engineers who stick around afterward. ### Migrate without a coverage gap. Move between SIEM, EDR, or identity platforms. The old platform stays up until the new one is proven. ### Make the products talk. Connectors, playbooks, and APIs. If two systems should exchange data and do not, we build the integration. The platforms we work with - - - - - ## Security for the systems your operations depend on. Build and maintain your OT security program around the equipment, processes, and people that keep your facilities running. Discovery and assessment, advisory, implementation, and managed operational support. [Explore OT Cybersecurity](https://novacoast.com/ot-security/) ## Custom software, twenty-five years in. We shipped our first custom business application in 2001. What makes software good has not changed since. How fast a small senior team can build it has: quarters became weeks. ### Applications for your business. Security tools, integration middleware, internal platforms, and custom MCP servers. ### Support after release. We run the pipelines, watch the systems, and automate updates. ## Staffing: people we would hire ourselves. We recruit security engineers, identity engineers, and developers for your team. Contract or direct hire. They work for you, not for us. Security engineers SIEM, EDR, firewall, and detection. Screened by the engineers who do that work here. Identity engineers Directory, SSO, MFA, provisioning, and privileged access. Developers Applications, integrations, and automation. We check the code before you meet them. ## What buyers ask first. How do you scope a project? A thirty-minute call with a senior engineer, then a written scope with a fixed price and a named lead. If we are the wrong fit, we say so and tell you who isn't. Do you have QSAs on staff? Yes. PCI DSS assessments are QSA-led, and we help with remediation as well as the assessment. What kind of engineering do you take on? The integration work vendors won't put on their roadmap. Migrations without a coverage gap. Connectors between products that should talk and don't. Custom development, with an in-house team since 2001. Can we start with one small engagement? That is how most relationships start. A pen test, an assessment, one integration. The way in is small on purpose. ## Bring us something specific. The hard integration, the assessment that is overdue, or a penetration test. Tell us what you are up against and we will write the scope.
