Cloud and AI security, tested the way an assessor will read it.
We test the systems you are betting on — cloud platforms, AI applications, and the controls around both — and write it up so engineers can fix it and auditors can accept it.
About
AssuranceLane Consulting, LLC is a security practice in Tampa, Florida, working across cloud security, AI security, and the compliance programs that depend on both.
The background is both sides of the table, built inside top-10 professional services firms: offensive testing and cloud security on one side, SOC 1, SOC 2, and PCI report issuance on the other, across more than 200 SOC reports. That is why findings are written to survive review rather than to fill a template — and why we ended up building the tooling as well.
That tooling became AssuranceLane, the engagement platform below, now a product in its own right.
Two ways we work with you
An engagement, or the platform your own team runs engagements on. Most clients start with the first.
Security and compliance services
Cloud security assessment, AI security testing, penetration testing, audit readiness, and virtual CISO work. Scoped to your architecture, not a tool's default profile.
The AssuranceLane platform
Engagement management for audit and assessment practices: requests, sampling, testing, review, and sign-off in one place, with each firm's data isolated at the database layer.
Who we work with
Cloud and software providers facing customer security review, teams shipping AI features with real data access, and assessment practices that have outgrown the spreadsheet.
Inside the platform
A dense, inline-editable control matrix — the part of the product assessment teams spend their day in.
| # | Control | Control activity | Test procedure | Sample | Result | Review |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CC1.1 | Control environment — integrity and ethics | Inspected policy, observed operation, reperformed for the period | 25 / 25 | Pass | Approved |
| 2 | CC1.2 | Board oversight and governance | Inspected minutes and charter for the period | 4 / 4 | Pass | Approved |
| 3 | CC6.2 | Access removal on termination | Inspected tickets and directory state for each leaver | 25 / 25 | Exception | Comments |
| 4 | CC7.2 | Monitoring and alerting coverage | Observed alert routing and reperformed a triggered alert | 15 / 25 | In progress | Not started |
| 5 | CC8.1 | Change management approval | Inspected pull requests and approvals for the sample | 25 / 25 | Pass | Pending |
| 6 | A1.2 | Backup restoration testing | Reperformed a restore and inspected the result | 3 / 3 | Pass | Approved |

How an engagement runs
Four stages, in this order, whichever service you start with. You know what is happening and what comes next from the first call.
Scope
Objectives, boundaries, constraints, and what a good outcome looks like — agreed in writing before work starts, so there is no argument about scope later.
Assess
The work itself, against your real environment and your real people. Regular contact throughout; anything urgent reaches you the day we confirm it, not in the final document.
Report
An executive summary a board can read and detail an engineer can act on, in one document, ordered by what to fix first. A read-out call walks your team through it.
Verify
We re-check what you changed and reissue the deliverable with the outcome, so what you hand to a customer, an auditor, or a board reflects where you actually stand.
Tell us what you need to prove, and to whom.
