Compliance,
without the theatre.
Readiness assessments, gap analyses, and audit support across ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and DPDP — handled by engineers who know which controls actually move the needle and which are paperwork.
Frameworks
What we help with.
Coverage across the frameworks most engineering organisations actually need to navigate. Combine for multi-framework programmes where the work compounds across overlapping controls.
ISO 27001 / 27017 / 27018
ISMS scoping, Annex A control implementation, Statement of Applicability, internal audit, and external-auditor liaison. Cloud (27017) and PII (27018) extensions on request.
SOC 2
Type 1 readiness and Type 2 control operation. Trust Service Criteria mapping, evidence-collection automation, gap closure, and auditor liaison through the report.
PCI DSS
Scope reduction strategy, segmentation validation, evidence packs for SAQ and ROC. Quarterly ASV scan management and remediation support.
Privacy: GDPR, DPDP, HIPAA
Data-mapping, DPIAs, ROPA, sub-processor management, and breach-notification playbooks. Coverage for EU, Indian, and US healthcare regulatory contexts.
Methodology
How we work.
Scoping & framework selection
Identify the right framework(s) for your business model and customer profile. Avoid the costly mistake of over-scoping or chasing certifications you do not actually need.
Gap assessment
Map current state against framework requirements. Output is a prioritised gap register, not a 200-page audit-prep document.
Control design & implementation
Build the controls that actually need building — policies, procedures, and (critically) the engineering automation that makes evidence collection painless rather than annual panic.
Internal audit & readiness review
Test the controls before the external auditor does. Find the gaps internally and close them before they cost you a finding on record.
External audit support
Liaise with the certifying body or auditor. Translate engineer-speak to auditor-speak and back. Manage scope creep when it happens.
Deliverables
What you receive.
Everything you need to fix what we found — and prove it to your auditors.
- Framework scope document and Statement of Applicability
- Gap assessment report with prioritised remediation roadmap
- Control documentation (policies, procedures, evidence templates)
- Internal audit findings with management response
- Audit-ready evidence packages organised by control reference
- External-auditor liaison through to certification or report sign-off
FAQs
Common questions.
01 Do you handle the actual external audit?
No — we are not a certification body. We get you ready, then liaise with the auditor of your choice through the audit itself. We have working relationships with several mid-market-friendly auditors and can introduce one if you do not already have a relationship.
02 Which framework should we start with?
Depends on who is asking for it. SOC 2 if US enterprise customers are pushing. ISO 27001 if EU or India. PCI DSS if you touch card data. We always start with the framework your buyers actually require, not the one that looks most impressive on a marketing page.
03 How long does ISO 27001 readiness take?
For a small-to-mid engineering organisation with reasonable security hygiene, 4–6 months from kickoff to the certification audit. Larger or more complex environments can run 8–12 months. We size accurately during scoping rather than quoting a generic figure.
04 Can you maintain compliance after certification?
Yes — surveillance audit support, evidence collection, policy reviews, and control updates. Most clients keep us on a quarterly retainer post-certification to stay audit-ready continuously rather than scrambling annually.
05 Do you handle multi-framework programmes?
Yes, and this is where the work compounds. Most controls map across frameworks — a SOC 2 control often satisfies an ISO 27001 control. A coordinated multi-framework programme typically costs 1.5x a single framework, not 2x or 3x.
