Industries We Serve

Centience delivers continuous governance programs for regulated organizations across multiple industries.

Financial Services

SEC Reg S-P and FINRA cybersecurity examination readiness.

Healthcare

HIPAA Security Rule and OCR audit readiness.

Private Equity

Portfolio-level cybersecurity governance through exit.

Security

Cybersecurity Governance That Holds Up Under Examination.

A cybersecurity incident is a governance failure before it is a technical one. Organizations that govern their cybersecurity environment continuously — not just before an audit — are the ones that recover faster, satisfy regulators more completely, and avoid the reputational damage that follows a disclosed breach.

Centience delivers cybersecurity governance that is technically enforced at the infrastructure level — not documented in a policy binder and reviewed annually.

What It Enables

Security Governance That Keeps Your Organization Running — And Defensible.

Cybersecurity governance is not a collection of tools. It is a continuous operational discipline that requires oversight, documentation, and enforcement at the infrastructure level. When Centience manages your cybersecurity governance, the evidence is already assembled when regulators arrive.

Continuous security posture visibility — no blind spots between annual assessments
Vendor risk under active management — not just documented at onboarding
Incident response governance in place before an incident occurs
Regulatory compliance documentation assembled continuously — not prepared in response to an exam notice
Board and leadership reporting that translates security posture into business-level governance metrics
A security program that scales as your organization adds vendors, staff, and technology

What Regulators Expect

Cybersecurity Is Now a Board-Level Governance Obligation.

The SEC's FY2026 examination priorities identify cybersecurity governance, identity theft prevention controls, vendor oversight, and incident response preparedness as primary examination areas. FINRA's 2026 report flags cybersecurity and cyber fraud as central examination focus areas — including AI-enabled threats that most firms have not yet addressed at the governance level.

Compliance documentation alone is not a security strategy. Regulators expect technically enforced controls — and evidence that those controls are operating.

The Cybersecurity Governance Program

What Centience Delivers

Technically enforced at the infrastructure level — not delivered as a policy binder.

Security Posture Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of your security posture with regular assessments, gap analysis, and remediation tracking aligned with governance objectives — not point-in-time snapshots.

Vulnerability Oversight

Structured vulnerability management ensuring identified risks are tracked, prioritized, and resolved within governance-defined timelines. No alerts closed without investigation.

Vendor Risk Management

Evaluate and monitor third-party vendor security posture — including AI vendors — ensuring supply chain risks are identified, assessed, and managed as part of your ongoing governance program.

Incident Response Governance

Documented incident response plan with defined roles, escalation procedures, and regulatory notification timelines — in place before an incident occurs, not assembled in response to one.

Compliance Readiness

Audit-ready documentation and controls mapping for SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST CSF, and industry-specific regulatory requirements — maintained continuously, not prepared on demand.

Governance Reporting

Documented security controls aligned with regulatory frameworks. Regular security posture reports for leadership and board. The evidence your regulators will ask for — assembled before they arrive.
