The credentials and expertise behind our work.
Transformation-led leadership, deep framework fluency and engineers who have built what auditors test. Here is what stands behind every MarkDrever engagement.
Yusuf Balogun, Founder & CEO
Our founder brings enterprise technology consulting and business process transformation to security and compliance. That background sets the bar for how every MarkDrever engagement is scoped, delivered and reviewed: controls designed into the workflow, and evidence the platform produces on its own.
Meet our founderAccess, change, incident and risk run through the service platform. It is why our controls operate every day instead of once a year.
Clear owners, measured outcomes and Agile delivery. It is why our programs keep working after the engagement ends.
Frameworks we work in every day.

Ask for the names, certifications and experience of the people on site, not only the people in the pitch.
Advisers who have engineered controls give better advice about testing them.
By scanner score, or by what would actually hurt the business?
Evidence, runbooks and trained owners, or just a report?
Independence. We tell you plainly when a task belongs with your certification body, CPA firm or accredited assessor, and we work alongside them so their assessment goes smoothly.
Put senior expertise on your side.
Tell us your deadline. We will confirm scope, approach and team in writing.
