"We conduct Third-Party Risk Assessments for mid-market fintechs. Chasing 80+ suppliers for SIG questionnaires and SOC 2 Type II reports was burning out my senior consultants. Our SageDoer VA runs the entire intake queue in OneTrust with flawless precision."

Craig Sterling, CISSP, CRISC
Managing Director, Aegis Risk Advisory (New York, NY)

"Our clients are constantly updating enterprise risk registers. SageDoer's assistant categorizes threat scenarios, reconciles mitigation action items with department owners, and updates our 5x5 heat maps in Smartsheet. Saved us 20 hours a week."

"The single dedicated PM makes all the difference. When we previously hired individual upwork freelancers, they didn't know the difference between inherent and residual risk. SageDoer's PM trains them on our SOPs and performs rigorous secondary QA checks."

"During ISO 27001 readiness assessments, evidence harvesting is an administrative nightmare. Our full-time VA at $6/hour mapped policies against Annex A controls, cataloged access logs, and prepared audit-ready binders in AuditBoard. Incredible value."

Frequently Asked Questions

Realistic questions Enterprise Risk Officers, Cyber Consultants, and GRC Advisory Partners ask before onboarding.

Confidentiality and information security are central to risk advisory. We execute comprehensive mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) before viewing any client files. All systems access is configured via principle of least privilege using encrypted vaults (1Password/Bitwarden). VAs operate strictly within your designated cloud environments (SharePoint, Box, AuditBoard, OneTrust) with MFA enabled, ensuring customer network diagrams and vulnerability logs are never downloaded to local unmanaged devices.
No. SageDoer VAs provide operational, logistical, and clerical support. Your assistant organizes evidence, tags controls, tracks vendor questionnaires, and enters impact/likelihood scores based on your documented rubrics. Formal risk evaluation, final control sign-offs, and advisory opinions remain strictly under the authority of your qualified Lead Consultants and Risk Officers.
In compliance and risk audits, improper file naming, missing timestamps, or incomplete sample sets can derail an audit timeline. Your dedicated Project Manager performs a secondary QA review on all formatted evidence packs, validates that PBC index sheets match auditor requests, and monitors weekly deliverable milestones. Their management overhead is 100% free; you pay only for the assistant's pure working hours.
Yes. Risk assessment workloads frequently surge during Q4 vendor renewals or spring SOC 2 surveillance audits. You can begin on Part-Time (20 hrs/week) and seamlessly scale up to Full-Time (40 hrs/week) or add additional specialists to your pod during intense assessment cycles with simple advance notice.
Because your dedicated Project Manager documents your firm's specific evidence conventions, framework templates, and GRC tool configurations, SageDoer provides seamless internal backup coverage. If your primary assistant is away, a qualified substitute steps in immediately with zero downtime or retraining overhead.
Yes. We match assistants based on your operational rhythm. Whether you require real-time daytime collaboration for live vendor follow-ups and committee meetings, or asynchronous overnight turnaround so completed evidence matrices and risk heat maps are waiting in your inbox every morning, we tailor schedule coverage to your exact workflow.
