FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chicago, IL / United States — Radian Compliance, LLC and Runtime Cyber Defense today announced a strategic partnership designed to provide organizations with comprehensive governance, risk, compliance, and cybersecurity services as they pursue ISO certifications, CMMC readiness, and ongoing regulatory compliance.
The partnership brings together two firms with deep and complementary expertise. Radian Compliance contributes more than 20 years of leadership in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), with a long-standing record of helping organizations achieve and sustain certifications across ISO management systems, cybersecurity frameworks, and regulatory requirements. Runtime Cyber Defense brings over 25 years of cybersecurity and federal IT leadership, delivering hands-on technical execution and operational security services that transform compliance requirements into real-world, defensible security programs.
“Organizations pursuing ISO or CMMC compliance frequently encounter a disconnect between governance expectations and how security is actually operated day to day,” said Sally Smoczynski, Managing Partner at Radian Compliance. “By partnering with Runtime Cyber Defense, we are able to extend our proven GRC methodologies into the operational layer—helping clients not only meet certification requirements but sustain them in practice.”
“Compliance frameworks are only effective when they are backed by strong, continuously managed security operations,” noted Scott Crabb of Runtime Cyber Defense. “This partnership bridges the gap between governance and execution by aligning Radian’s deep GRC expertise with practical cybersecurity implementation and ongoing operational support.”
Through this collaboration, clients will benefit from:
ISO and CMMC readiness assessments, gap analysis, and implementation support
Governance frameworks, policies, and procedures aligned to operational realities
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for continuous threat monitoring and incident response
Vulnerability management and threat mitigation, including proactive risk identification and remediation
Security awareness training to reduce human risk and support compliance objectives
Secure cloud operations management to support compliant use of modern cloud environments
Ongoing advisory and vCISO-style support to maintain compliance post-certification
Radian Compliance is widely recognized for its disciplined, phased approach to compliance, its participation in standards development, and its consistent success supporting initial certification and surveillance audits. Runtime Cyber Defense, a Veteran-Owned Small Business, brings an execution-focused approach rooted in real-world operations, ensuring that security controls are not only documented, but actively managed, monitored, and maintained over time.
Together, Radian Compliance and Runtime Cyber Defense deliver a unified approach to compliance and cybersecurity—helping organizations avoid “checkbox compliance” and instead build sustainable, auditable, and resilient security programs.
