Compliance exists to establish clear standards for protecting information, managing risks, and building trust with customers and partners.

SOC 2 is designed to evaluate how well an organisation manages data to protect its privacy and security. It is based on Trust Service Criteria: security, availability, processing, integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
SOC2 Certifications Available:
SOC 2 - Type I (1)
Provides a point in time snapshot, ensuring the appropriate controls are in place.
SOC 2 - Type II (2)
Provides assurance that controls not only exist, but function as intended over time (recertification required every 12 months).
SOC3 is a simplified version of SOC2, offering a high-level overview of an organisations adherence to security principles without disclosing sensitive details.
Unlike SOC2, SOC3 omits granular details about specific controls, focusing instead on a broader compliance with the Trust Service Criteria.

The first step of obtaining formal certification is understanding where your organisation stands.
This involves conducting a comprehensive gap analysis to identify areas that need improvement, from policies and processes to technology and culture. The findings are used to develop a clear roadmap, outlining the actions required to achieve compliance.
This stage sets the foundation for success, ensuring that efforts are focused on addressing the most critical gaps and aligning with the standard effectively.
This step involves putting the necessary security measures, policies, and procedures in place to meet the framework's requirements. It’s about embedding security into the organisation’s daily operations—training staff, deploying tools, and refining processes to ensure risks are managed effectively. By the end of this stage, your organisation will have a solid framework of controls that support ongoing security.
This step focuses on gathering the documentation and proof needed to demonstrate that the implemented controls are working effectively.
Internal audits are conducted to verify compliance with the framework and identify any areas for fine-tuning.
This stage ensures the organisation is fully prepared for the formal external audit, minimising the risk of surprises and building confidence in the process.
We collaborate with an external auditing firm to submit and clarify any findings and refine evidence where needed, ensuring a smooth and transparent certification process.
While maintaining clear boundaries and upholding the integrity of the audit, we assist in resolving any gaps or areas of concern, giving your organisation achieves successful certification with confidence.
Obtaining certification is just the start—recertification ensures your organisation stays compliant and adapts to evolving requirements.
Depending on the framework, it will typically involve annual audits and periodic reassessments, as well as updates to the framework requirements (as cyber security evolved).
We provide ongoing monitoring, updates, and process improvements to your organisation, showcasing your commitment to long-term security and excellence for your clients.
