// About ISO 27001 Readiness
A Practical Path to Certification
ISO 27001:2022 asks organisations to build a genuine information security management system, not just a folder of policies. We start by comparing your current controls against the standard's Annex A requirements, then work with you to close the gaps in a way that fits how your business actually operates.
Whether you are pursuing certification to win enterprise contracts, meet a client requirement, or strengthen your security baseline ahead of the UK NIS Regulations and the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, we scope the engagement around your timeline and your certification body's expectations.

- A Working ISMS, Not Just Paperwork

Consultants Who Understand Real Security, Not Just Paperwork
Many ISO 27001 projects produce a policy folder that never actually changes how the business operates. We combine compliance expertise with genuine technical security knowledge, so your ISMS reflects real, working controls.
Practical, Not Theoretical
Our recommendations are built to fit your existing operations, not a generic template.
Technical Depth
Our background in penetration testing means our risk assessments reflect real attacker behaviour.
Certification Body Experience
We understand what UKAS-accredited certification bodies expect at each audit stage.
Built for UK Organisations
We work to UK GDPR, Cyber Essentials and NCSC guidance alongside the standard itself.
Most organisations need three to six months of preparation, depending on your current security maturity and how much documentation already exists.
