GRC & Compliance

Compliance that survives the actual audit

We don't hand you a binder of policies and disappear. We build your governance, risk, and compliance program from the ground up and sit in the room with you through certification.

We're in the room for the actual audit

A certificate that means something, not just a checkbox

A lot of compliance work is template documents with your company name swapped in. Auditors notice. We build your risk register, your controls, and your evidence collection around how your business actually operates — so the certificate reflects something real.

And because we also test systems hands-on, our compliance documentation is grounded in actual technical reality, not guesswork about what your infrastructure probably does.

The standards that matter for your industry

Each engagement starts with a gap assessment so you know exactly what's required before we commit to anything.

ISO 27001 implementation

A complete information security management system built from scratch — or repaired if your existing one wouldn't survive an audit.

  • Risk register and risk treatment plan, written around your actual business
  • Full control mapping with a clear rationale for every inclusion and exclusion
  • A policy library your staff will actually read and follow
  • We run your internal audit ourselves before the external one happens
  • On-site or remote support through your certification audit

  • Control design built around tools and processes you already use
  • Evidence collection set up so Type 2 renewal isn't a fire drill every year

  • Self-assessment questionnaire or report on compliance preparation
  • Compensating control documentation where full compliance isn't feasible yet
  • A remediation roadmap with realistic timelines, not just a gap list

Your compliance program is grounded in real technical testing, not assumptions

Most compliance consultants ask you what your security controls are and write that down. We can actually test whether those controls work, because the same team does both. That means fewer surprises during your audit and a compliance program built on what's true, not just what's documented.
