Audit-ready against the standards you're measured on

Our delivery maps to recognised security, privacy and prudential standards from day one.

Our process

Getting to audit-ready, without the headache

01

Scope

We identify exactly which standards and obligations apply to your business, so nothing is missed or over-done.

02

Assess

We gap-check your current controls and policies against those requirements and give you a clear picture.

03

Remediate

We close the gaps, put practical policies and controls in place, and prepare your evidence.

04

Sustain

We keep you audit-ready with ongoing reviews, monitoring and simple reporting, all year round.

Before you ask

Questions we get about this one

Do we need ISO 27001 certification?

Often not. Certification is worth it when a customer, tender or regulator requires it. Short of that, mapping to the standard gives you most of the operational benefit without the audit cost, and leaves certification available later.

How much of our team's time does this take?

Front-loaded during gap analysis, then light. The design goal is that evidence is produced by controls already running rather than gathered by hand, which is the difference between an audit being a morning and being a month.

What if a gap analysis finds something serious?

You will hear it immediately and plainly, with the risk stated in business terms and a remediation option priced. Finding it in a gap analysis is the cheapest possible time to find it.

Can you respond to security questionnaires for us?

Yes. Tender and vendor questionnaires are answered from your existing evidence, which is much of the point of maintaining it. We do not answer yes to a control that is not actually in place.

Is a risk register really necessary?

It is the one artefact that makes the rest coherent. Without it, every control is a matter of opinion and no one can say which risks were accepted deliberately — which is exactly the question asked after an incident.
