Compliance
Audit readiness for ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, PCI DSS and other frameworks, with evidence assembled and your team prepared for auditor questions.
Request a Free ConsultationOverview
Compliance work is largely a matter of evidence. Controls may be sound, but an auditor cannot certify what cannot be shown: the access review that was performed, the ticket confirming a change was approved, the policy staff have read rather than one stored in a shared drive. We help you meet regulatory, legal, and industry standards for information security and data privacy, and we help you produce the artefacts that demonstrate this to customers, partners, and regulators. ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, PCI DSS and related frameworks each require much the same programme, documented to a different specification.
What auditors require
Dated evidence. Not the policy document alone, but the record showing the quarterly access review was performed each quarter, and who signed it off. Not a statement that data is encrypted at rest, but the configuration export that proves it, alongside the risk assessment documenting any legacy exception. Most first attempts do not fail because a control was missing. They fail because the control was operating and no record was kept.
Our Approach
Gap Assessments
We compare current practice against the framework's requirements, control by control, and return a remediation list ordered by effort rather than clause number. A substantial share is often documentation that already exists but has never been organized for audit.
Policy Development
Policies written for how your organization actually operates, not templates with your branding applied. An access control policy that disregards how your engineers deploy will not be followed in practice, and an auditor will identify the gap between document and practice early in the audit.
Audit Preparation
We collect the evidence, prepare your team for the questions they will be asked, and join the readiness call so no one faces the auditor unprepared. Artefacts are filed against the controls they satisfy, accompanied by a summary written for board review.
Continuous Monitoring
Certification is a point-in-time result, and surveillance audits follow. We establish a recurring cadence for reviews, evidence capture and control testing, so the next cycle is maintenance rather than a rebuild.
Frameworks & Services
ISO 27001
Implementation of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), management of the risk treatment process, and support through the certification audit.
SOC 2
Trust Services Criteria for service organizations (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy). Selecting criteria and the observation window early reduces rework later.
GDPR
Data protection and privacy compliance for organizations handling EU personal data, from lawful basis and records of processing through to breach response.
PCI DSS
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard for organizations processing cardholder data. Scope reduction comes first, since much of the work is demonstrating where cardholder data does not reside.
HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act for healthcare data protection, covering safeguards, business associate agreements, and breach handling.
Other Frameworks
NIST, CCPA and CSA STAR. If a customer contract references a standard not listed here, contact us to discuss it.
Why Compliance Matters
Risk Reduction
Controls reduce the likelihood of a breach. Documented processes reduce regulatory exposure when questions are asked about what was in place beforehand.
Market Trust
Enterprise buyers issue security questionnaires before contracts. Certification answers much of that scrutiny without diverting engineering time to questionnaire responses.
Business Enablement
Certain deals and markets remain closed until certification is in place. For many organizations, that commercial requirement is the starting point for the process.
Continuous Improvement
The annual cycle enforces reviews that would otherwise be deferred. Over time, that discipline turns compliance activity into security improvement.
