Barrett Compliance & Consulting started with a simple frustration: smart teams were doing real security work, but still getting stuck when customers or auditors asked, “Show me.”

That gap is where deals die. Not because people are careless, but because evidence is messy, ownership is unclear, and the process lives in someone’s head.

So we built a firm that brings an IT audit mindset to modern operations. We focus on what you can prove, how consistently you can prove it, and how to turn one-time fixes into habits your business can repeat. We work with clients on SOC 2 readiness, NIST 800-171 and CMMC preparation, ITGC and SOX support, vendor risk, and Microsoft 365 audit-ready baselines.

We’re Maryland-based and CISA-led. We move fast, write clearly, and keep the work grounded. The goal is simple: when the questions come, your answers are already waiting.

Barrett Compliance & Consulting works with Start-ups, building their security infrastructure, we also exists to make compliance clarity real. We help teams build audit-ready controls and evidence that hold up under scrutiny without turning the business into a paperwork factory. What makes us different is a disciplined IT audit approach, clear scopes, and an evidence first method that produces clean deliverables and a repeatable process clients can run long after the engagement ends.
