Governance
The certificate is the receipt. The working controls are the product.
Certification is usually triggered by a customer contract, an investor or a regulator. The trap is treating it as a documentation exercise: a folder of policies nobody follows, and a frantic three weeks before every audit. We take you from an honest gap assessment to a control set your teams actually operate, with evidence collected automatically from tools you already run.
- 5 frameworks
- ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 20000-1, SOC 2, DPDP Act
- ~90 days
- Typical gap to audit-ready
- Zero
- Copy-paste template policies
Sound familiar?
If two of these describe your week, this is the service that fixes it.
A customer contract now requires a certification you do not hold, with a date attached.
Policies exist, but there is no proof anyone follows them.
Every audit turns into a three-week internal fire drill.
What the service covers
How the work is actually done, day to day.
An honest gap assessment
Control by control against the framework you have chosen, each gap with a realistic estimate of effort and cost. You will know on day ten whether your target date is achievable.
Policies written around your business
Documentation drafted with the people who have to follow it and approved by them. A policy nobody can comply with is a finding waiting to happen.
Evidence collected continuously
Access reviews, patch records, backup tests and training logs gathered on a schedule from your existing systems. Audit prep becomes a review, not a reconstruction.
We sit with you in the audit
Your team is prepared for interviews, we attend fieldwork, and we handle auditor follow-up questions through to the certificate being issued.
What you receive
Documents you can hand to an auditor.
- Gap assessment with a dated remediation plan
- Risk register and statement of applicability
- Full policy and procedure set, written for your business
- Evidence collection calendar with owners named
- Internal audit and management review pack
Platforms we work with
Fluent in the tools, loyal to none of them.
If you already hold licences, we operate them — no resale margin, no forced migration. When a change genuinely closes a gap or saves money, you see both cost models side by side before anyone recommends anything.
Onboarding
How compliance & audit readiness goes live.
- 01
A 45-minute conversation
What you run, what worries you, and what a bad week has already cost you. No slides and no product pitch — we are working out whether we can genuinely help.
- 02
Posture assessment
We examine the estate, compare it against a recognised framework and hand you a prioritised list of gaps. The report is yours to keep whether or not you buy anything.
- 03
Onboarding and a rehearsal
Log sources, agents, access and escalation contacts are agreed, then we run a live drill of a real incident before we call the service live. Untested escalation paths are decoration.
- 04
Steady-state operations
Monitoring, response and reporting run to a written SLA, with a quarterly review that changes the plan whenever your business changes.
