ISO 27001 Consulting

Turn ISO 27001 Into a Sales Advantage

We make ISO 27001 a strategic asset, not a checkbox exercise. Get a program your engineers respect, a certification your buyers trust, and a system your team can actually run.

Trust First

Why ISO 27001 Matters

Enterprise buyers, investors, and customers evaluate your security before they evaluate your product. ISO 27001 shows that protecting data is part of how you operate.

Built-In

Our Approach

No generic policies or template libraries. We work with your teams to design security into your workflow—translating requirements into practices your people actually follow.

Clarity Builds

Internal Audits That Strengthen

We use audits to deepen understanding, not create anxiety. Your team learns how and why the system works, building ownership that holds steady as you scale.

Always Ready

Audit Preparation

No last-minute scrambles. We prepare evidence continuously, rehearse walkthroughs until natural, and help you select the right audit partner. The audit becomes confirmation, not performance.

How it works

1

Understand you

We map your current systems, culture, pace, and product environment, because every decision starts from who you are now, not an idealized model.

2

Design Program

We create security governance that fits your structure – policies, access models, vendor review, risk approach, documentation strategy.ent systems, culture, pace, and product environment, because every decision starts from who you are now, not an idealized model.

3

Embed Controls

We align identity, infrastructure, change management, monitoring, and continuity practices to ISO 27001 expectations gradually and sustainably.

4

Set Up Evidence Collection

We ensure proof is generated as work happens, eliminating the last-minute audit crunch.

5

Pre-Audit Readiness

We review documentation, run through interviews, and finalize evidence.

6

Certification

You enter the audit confident, and every question is a breeze.

The outcome

A security program that belongs to you—not us. Controls that make sense, processes that hold, and evidence that appears naturally. When the audit arrives, you're not performing. You're showing how you actually operate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigate the complex world of cybersecurity with confidence and clarity.

We don’t have any formal security processes yet. Is that a problem?

No. Most Seed-to-Series B companies begin ISO 27001 from a very lightweight or informal security posture. We don’t assume anything is already in place. We help you establish the foundational policies, controls, governance, and habits step-by-step, at a pace your team can manage. The program is shaped around your current maturity – not a theoretical standard.

How disruptive is ISO 27001 to engineering workflow?

When implemented thoughtfully, it shouldn’t be disruptive at all. We align controls to your existing development practices, release cadence, and environment structure. The goal is not to introduce friction – it’s to formalize clarity around what your team already does well.

Do we need to use Vanta, Drata, or Secureframe to get certified?

No. ISO 27001 does not require an automation platform. However, most fast-growing teams benefit from using one, especially for continuous evidence collection. If you choose to use Drata, Vanta, or Secureframe, we can provide reduced partner pricing. Just ask!

How is ISO 27001 different from SOC 2?

SOC 2 is confirmation that your controls are operating effectively. ISO 27001 is a full management system for security. It requires ongoing governance, risk management, documentation, and continual improvement – but, importantly for fast-growing companies, carries global recognition, especially in Europe and regulated markets. Many companies eventually hold both.

How long before we can schedule the audit?

Most startups are ready for an ISO 27001 audit within 6 to 9 months. The timeline depends on the clarity of your environment, decision-making availability, and how much of the program needs to be built from scratch.

Can we fail the audit?

Audits are designed to validate systems, not punish them. When a nonconformity appears, it simply means something needs to be clarified or strengthened. Because we rehearse everything in advance and validate every control before scheduling the audit, it’s very rare for a client to miss certification.

Do we need a full-time security hire after certification?

Not necessarily. Many companies continue operating smoothly with fractional support until they reach 200-500 employees. If you’re unsure if you’re ready, we can help you define when a full-time security role becomes genuinely valuable.

What if we already started and feel stuck?

That’s one of the most common points teams reach. We can pick up from wherever you are, assess what maps work, fix what doesn’t, and return structure and momentum.

Will this help us close more enterprise deals?

Yes. ISO 27001 directly reduces friction during procurement, vendor assessments, privacy reviews, and security questionnaires. But more importantly, it signals discipline and reliability – qualities that are increasingly becoming the norm, not a luxury.

Iso 27001 can be daunting, But it doesn’t have to be.

While many teams think of ISO 27001 as being about compliance, we think of it as signaling what kind of company you are, because you don’t just pass ISO 27001. You become the kind of company people trust.
