Gap assessment
Measure current controls against the target framework and estimate the effort to close the gaps.
Advisory & Compliance
Compliance & Certification Readiness
Turn compliance into a by-product of good security. We help you scope, implement and evidence the controls required for certification and regulatory obligations, with automation wherever possible.
The challenge
Many frameworks were written with traditional data centres in mind. Mapping them to cloud-native and AI systems, gathering evidence and keeping it current across several standards consumes significant time.
Typical risks we uncover
- 01Overlapping requirements across several frameworks
- 02Manual, point-in-time evidence collection
- 03Customers and regulators asking for proof, quickly

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Talk to a consultant about your environment. The first call is free and under NDA if you need it.
Talk to an expert01Do you perform the certification audit?
No. To preserve independence, we prepare you for the audit and support you during it; an accredited certification body or audit firm performs the audit itself.
02Which regulations do you cover in the Gulf region?
We support the UAE Information Assurance Regulation, sector requirements from regulators such as central banks, and the Saudi NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls, alongside international standards.
03How long does ISO 27001 readiness take?
It depends on scope and maturity. For a focused, cloud-native organisation it is usually a matter of months rather than years. We give you a realistic estimate after the gap assessment.
