Crown & Ledger supplies certified assessors to C3PAOs and qualified auditors to audit firms. For small and midsize businesses, we act as your audit broker. We source and negotiate audits on your behalf, so you get the right firm at the right price.
We work with the firms that perform audits and with the businesses that need them.
Short on assessors for an upcoming engagement? We supply Certified CMMC Assessors and Professionals who work inside your assessment process.
We provide experienced auditors to firms that need extra capacity or a specific credential on the team.
Think of us like an insurance broker, but for audits. As certified assessors and auditors, we know what audits should cost. We compare proposals from trusted firms and negotiate for you, whatever your budget.
Every engagement follows a defined scope and a recognized standard. It ends with findings tied to evidence.
Level 2 assessment work for C3PAOs under the CMMC Assessment Process, and independent mock assessments for contractors, including in Microsoft 365 GCC High environments.
Internal ISMS audits led by a certified Lead Auditor, and second-party audits of your suppliers, ahead of certification or surveillance audits.
CISA-led audits of IT general controls, identity and access management in Microsoft Entra ID, and security programs against NIST frameworks.
Independent risk assessments, vendor security reviews, and audits of how personal data is collected, stored and shared under applicable privacy laws.
We confirm the standard, the boundary, the systems in scope and the schedule.
We examine documents, interview your people and test controls in place.
Each objective is scored MET or NOT MET, with the evidence behind the result.
We walk through results with leadership and verify any corrected findings.
Crown & Ledger was founded by a Lead Certified CMMC Assessor (Lead CCA) who has worked Level 2 assessments for defense contractors, and who also holds the CISA, CISM and CGRC. We know what assessors ask for, how evidence is judged, and where organizations most often fall short.
Every engagement gets the same discipline: a defined scope, objective evidence, and findings that hold up under review.
No. We supply Certified CMMC Assessors to authorized C3PAOs, and certification decisions always come from the C3PAO. Our assessors never take part in a certification assessment of an organization we have advised.
An audit broker works for you, not the audit firm. You tell us what you need and your budget. We gather proposals, compare scope and price side by side, and negotiate the best terms. You choose the firm.
