Compliance for Texas small business · Since 2010
Most small businesses are compliant on paper and exposed in reality. Aspendora makes your controls real, provable, and monitored — so when an insurer, auditor, or breach investigator asks you to prove it, you can.

You signed a cyber-insurance questionnaire. You have a WISP in a binder. Maybe an EHR that says "HIPAA compliant." But a policy is only a promise — and the gap between what you attested and what’s actually running stays invisible until the worst possible moment.
What real compliance actually looks like — in about 90 seconds.
Lacy Moore
CEO & President, Aspendora Technologies
We’ve spent 15 years protecting Houston small businesses. We’re not a law firm or an auditor — and we don’t replace your IT. We work alongside your team, whether that’s in-house or another IT provider, to turn the controls on, generate the evidence, and keep watch, so the attorneys, carriers, and auditors can confirm the rest.
“I started Aspendora to give small businesses the same protection the Fortune 500 takes for granted. With compliance, that means one thing: when someone asks you to prove it, you can.”
Real compliance has four parts — we deliver all four
Right controls, turned on
MFA, tested backups, encryption, least-privilege access.
Evidence you can produce
Logs, reports, and configurations — provable on demand.
Maintained, not finished
Compliance is a state you hold, continuously.
Someone accountable
A named partner, not a binder and a good-luck handshake.
No jargon. No 200-page binder you’ll never read.
We measure your security against CIS Controls IG1 — 56 safeguards — using real evidence from your systems. You get a score and a prioritized roadmap.
We close the gaps that matter: hardening Microsoft 365, fixing access, and writing the policies your controls actually back up.
We monitor for drift, fix it automatically, and report the trend — so you stay defensible all year, not just at audit time.
Productized and fixed-fee. Start with a baseline; add remediation and continuous monitoring when you’re ready.
Know exactly where you stand.
$7,500 fixed fee
An evidence-based assessment of your security against the 56 safeguards of CIS Controls v8.1 Implementation Group 1 — the baseline your cyber-insurance renewal, NIST, and HIPAA all point to. Every safeguard is scored Met, Partial, Gap, or N/A against real evidence from your Microsoft 365 tenant, endpoints, and infrastructure.
Explore Baseline Assessment →Close the gaps that matter.
$12,500 fixed fee
We implement the priority-1 and priority-2 gaps from your assessment: hardening Microsoft 365, scheduling endpoint audits, authoring the governance documents your policies actually require, and re-scoring your maturity so the improvement is provable.
Explore Remediation Sprint →Stay compliant — and prove the trend.
$750 per month
Compliance is a state you maintain, not a project you finish. We monitor 24/7 for control drift, auto-remediate where we can, and give you a monthly report plus a quarterly review — so your posture holds at the level you worked to reach.
Explore Continuous Compliance →We measure and map against the standards that matter
CIS Controls v8.1 IG1
The 56-safeguard baseline we assess against.
Texas SB 2610
Cybersecurity safe-harbor (affirmative defense).
TDPSA
Texas Data Privacy & Security Act.
NIST CSF 2.0
Cross-mapped for larger Texas businesses.
HIPAA / PCI-DSS
Cross-mapped; evidence feeds your audits.
Cyber-insurance
The attestations your renewal actually asks about.
The average small-business data breach runs past $200,000 — and 60% of small businesses hit by a serious cyber attack close within six months.
Compliance stops being an annual panic and becomes a quiet, provable strength — one you can show a carrier, a customer, or a board without flinching.
No. We’re a specialized security-compliance firm. We work alongside whoever runs your IT — your in-house team or another IT provider — to make the controls real and provable: turning them on, generating the evidence, and monitoring them, so your attorneys, insurance carriers, and auditors can confirm the legal and audit boxes with something true to point at.
No — and most of our compliance clients don’t. Aspendora Compliance is a standalone service. We work with your existing IT, whether that’s your own in-house team or another IT/managed-services firm. We run the compliance program; they keep running your day-to-day IT. You don’t have to change anything about who supports you.
We measure against CIS Controls v8.1 Implementation Group 1 (56 safeguards) and the Texas SB 2610 / TDPSA program, and we cross-map to NIST CSF 2.0, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and the questions on your cyber-insurance renewal.
The Baseline Assessment is a fixed $7,500 and runs about four weeks. From there, the Remediation Sprint is a fixed $12,500, and ongoing Continuous Compliance is $750/month. Bundles save you money if you combine them.
Yes. Those questionnaires are legal attestations — if your answers don’t match reality, a claim can be denied. We verify each control behind your answers and produce the evidence, so your “yes” holds up if you ever file a claim.
We’re Houston-based and focused on Texas small businesses, including the Texas SB 2610 safe harbor. The CIS-based assessment itself is framework-agnostic and works for any small business — reach out and we’ll tell you honestly if we’re the right fit.
A signed Compliance Attestation, a one-page Executive Dashboard, and a detailed Evidence Binder citing every control. Continuous Compliance clients also get a monthly report and a quarterly review showing the trend over time.
