Frequently Asked Questions

Product Features & Capabilities

What problems did Reclamere face before using Cynomi?

Before adopting Cynomi, Reclamere struggled to grow its GRC practice due to its previous platform's limitations. The old system generated reports with typos, only exported in PDF format, and required extensive manual editing and screen grabs to produce client-ready deliverables. This bottleneck prevented the team from scaling and delivering audit-ready reports efficiently. Note: Detailed limitations of the previous platform are based on Reclamere's CEO's statements; for other edge cases, consult Reclamere directly.

How did Cynomi address Reclamere's challenges with GRC reporting?

Cynomi provided standardized assessment workflows, streamlined evidence collection, and automated report generation. This enabled Reclamere to produce audit-ready deliverables without manual rework or screen grabs, freeing up time for the team to focus on discussing risk and recommendations with clients. Note: For organizations with highly customized reporting needs, additional configuration may be required.

What measurable results did Reclamere achieve with Cynomi?

Reclamere completed approximately 20 assessments using Cynomi and achieved a 20% reduction in first-time assessment effort. The team eliminated manual report rebuilding and screen grabs, and their reports now meet the standards required for Office for Civil Rights audits. Note: These results are specific to Reclamere's use case; outcomes may vary for other organizations.

How does Cynomi help with audit-readiness and regulatory compliance?

Cynomi's platform generates audit-ready reports that can withstand scrutiny from regulatory bodies such as the Office for Civil Rights. The standardized workflows and automated evidence collection ensure that deliverables are accurate and compliant, reducing the risk of errors that could impact audit outcomes. Note: While Cynomi supports audit-readiness, organizations should review their specific regulatory requirements for full compliance.

Use Cases & Customer Success

What type of organizations benefit most from Cynomi?

Cynomi is designed for managed cybersecurity services practices, MSPs, MSSPs, and vCISO consultancies that need to deliver GRC, risk assessments, and audit-ready reporting. It is especially valuable for teams serving regulated and audit-exposed clients, such as those in healthcare, financial services, and IT consulting. Note: Organizations with highly specialized or niche compliance needs should confirm framework support with Cynomi.

How did Reclamere's workflow change after adopting Cynomi?

After implementing Cynomi, Reclamere no longer spends hours editing reports or assembling screen grabs. The team now uses standardized workflows for evidence collection and assessment, allowing them to focus on client discussions about risk and recommendations rather than manual administrative work. Note: Transitioning to new workflows may require initial training and adjustment.

What feedback did Reclamere's team provide about Cynomi?

Reclamere's CEO, Angie Singer Keating, stated that Cynomi "can more than keep up with our growth" and that the platform eliminated the need for endless report editing. Director of Cyber Security Services & Operations, Randy Sciarrillo, highlighted efficiency gains from streamlined evidence collection, assessment workflows, and report generation, allowing the team to spend more time with customers. Note: These testimonials reflect Reclamere's experience; results may differ for other organizations.

Competition & Comparison

How does Cynomi compare to Apptega for GRC practices?

Apptega focuses primarily on framework-driven GRC and serves both organizations and service providers. In contrast, Cynomi is purpose-built for MSPs, MSSPs, and vCISOs, unifying compliance, advisory delivery, and portfolio revenue analytics in one platform. Cynomi's interface is noted for its intuitive navigation and lower learning curve, while Apptega users report more complex navigation. Note: Apptega may be preferable for organizations seeking a broader GRC platform not limited to service providers.

What are Cynomi's acknowledged limitations?

While Cynomi automates up to 80% of manual processes and supports over 40 frameworks, organizations with highly specialized or niche compliance needs may require additional customization. Detailed limitations are not publicly documented; ask Cynomi sales for specifics.

Resources & Support

What resources are available to help new users get started with Cynomi?

Cynomi offers technical documentation, ready-to-use security and compliance templates, calculators for revenue and efficiency modeling, and comprehensive guides for frameworks like NIST 800-53 and NIST CSF 2.0. These resources are available at Cynomi's resource hub. Note: Some resources may require registration or partner status for access.

Does Cynomi offer integrations or an API for custom workflows?

How Reclamere Cut Assessment Time by 20% and Scaled Its GRC Practice

Reclamere's GRC team moved forward with Cynomi skeptically. What they found: standardized evidence collection, assessment workflows, and report generation that finally kept pace with the practice's growth - freeing the team to spend its time on risk and recommendations with clients, not administrative rework.

The Challenge

Reclamere could not grow its GRC practice on its previous platform, which produced sloppy, PDF-only reports with typos that the team had to rebuild by hand before any client saw them.

The Solution

Cynomi gave Reclamere standardized assessment workflows, streamlined evidence collection, and report generation that produces audit-ready deliverables without endless editing or screen grabs.

The Impact

Reclamere’s reports now hold up to Office for Civil Rights scrutiny, and the team has reallocated the time it used to spend on manual rework to discussing risk and recommendations with clients – proof, in the CEO’s words, that Cynomi “can more than keep up with our growth.”

Reclamere story

Angie Singer Keating, CEO, Reclamere

We really could not grow our GRC practice with the platform that we had, and Cynomi has proven that they most definitely can keep up with our growth.

I’m Angie Singer Keating. I am CEO and co-founder of Reclamere Incorporated. We are a managed cybersecurity services practice, and we are located in Tyrone, Pennsylvania.

Our reports have got to be perfect, and they’ve got to be audit-ready. If our clients should happen to have an audit from the Office of Civil Rights, those reports are really going to weigh heavily on the outcome of those audits.

We had a terrible platform that we had a hate-hate relationship with, but it really was the only option. One of our biggest complaints about it was that it was sloppy. The reports that it generated notoriously had typos. Many of the reports would only generate in PDF. It just really didn’t feel like they were staying up to date.

We moved forward with Cynomi, I would say skeptically. It really sounded too good to be true. And when we first took a look at it, we really had concerns about, is it as great as it looks? And it turned out that, yes, in fact, it is.

How we deliver services today has changed dramatically in that we don’t have to spend endless hours editing reports or doing screen grabs of this and that to try to get a deliverable that we’re proud to hand to a client. Cynomi couldn’t have come along in a better time for us.

The Full Story

A Practice Where the Reports Have to Be Perfect

Reclamere is a managed cybersecurity services practice based in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, led by CEO Angie Singer Keating. Its GRC work carries a standard most reporting never has to meet: if a client is audited by the Office for Civil Rights, Reclamere’s reports weigh heavily on how that audit turns out. Perfect and audit-ready is the baseline, not the goal.

The Bottleneck: A Platform They Had a Hate-Hate Relationship With

The platform Reclamere used before Cynomi was, in Angie’s words, terrible, and for a long time it was the only option. It was sloppy. The reports it generated notoriously carried typos, many of them would only export as PDFs, and it never felt like it was staying up to date. Every deliverable meant endless hours of editing and screen grabs before the team had something they were proud to hand a client, and the practice could not grow past that ceiling.

Adopting Cynomi, Skeptically

Reclamere moved forward with Cynomi skeptically. It sounded too good to be true, and the team’s first question was whether it was as good as it looked. It was. Cynomi standardized the parts of an assessment that had been eating the calendar: evidence collection, the assessment workflow itself, and report generation, so a client-ready deliverable comes out of the platform rather than out of a week of manual rework.

Audit-Ready Reports and a Practice That Can Grow

How Reclamere delivers services today has changed dramatically. The team no longer spends endless hours editing reports or stitching screen grabs together to produce something worth handing over. Across roughly 20 assessments, first-time assessment effort has dropped by 20%, and the time that came back goes into discussing risk and recommendations with customers instead of manual administrative work. As Angie puts it, Cynomi could not have come along at a better time, and it has proven it can keep up with the practice’s growth.

Why Reclamere chose Cynomi

Reclamere’s problem was a GRC practice it could not grow. Their previous platform produced sloppy, PDF-only reports with typos, and the team spent endless hours editing and taking screen grabs before anything was fit to hand a client. That mattered because a Reclamere report has to survive stringent audits. Cynomi standardizes evidence collection, assessment workflows, and report generation, so deliverables come out audit-ready.
