You fail audits because nothing is documented.
ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 gap assessment. Gap report, policy library, and a 6-12 month roadmap so you pass on first attempt.
Let's talk
The situation
Most organisations do not fail audits because they are insecure. They fail because no one documented the controls or built a roadmap to fix the gaps.
The numbers
EUR 20M maximum NIS2 fine, or 2% of global annual turnover (EU NIS2 Directive).
40% of audits fail on first attempt due to policy gaps (ISACA, 2024).
60% of SMEs have no formal compliance framework (Gartner, 2024).
4-8x cheaper to address gaps pre-audit vs. post-failure (Ponemon Institute, 2024).
The gap
Your CISO manages the ongoing programme. They are rarely resourced to conduct a structured, evidence-based gap assessment against a specific certification standard. You need a documented baseline, a policy library, and a board-ready roadmap.

Common questions
We have a CISO. Why do we need this?
Your CISO manages the programme. They are rarely resourced to run a structured gap assessment against a certification standard. This gives them a documented baseline, policy library, and board-ready roadmap they can execute against. It accelerates their work.
We are not sure we need ISO 27001 right now.
A gap assessment is valuable even without immediate certification. It tells you where controls are weak, gives your team policies to operate against, and produces governance documentation that enterprise procurement teams and insurers increasingly require.
How much internal time does this require?
Stakeholder interviews in the first week take 2-3 hours across HR, Legal, and IT. After that, your involvement is reviewing the Gap Report and aligning on the roadmap. We do the documentation and policy work.
What frameworks do you cover?
ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 as standard. NIS2 and GDPR mapping available on request. Multi-framework assessment in a single engagement.
How is this different from a Big 4 compliance engagement?
Speed, cost, and practicality. Big 4 firms charge EUR 50K-200K and deliver in 3-6 months. We deliver in 15-25 days at EUR 9,999-12,999 with the same evidence quality and a practical roadmap your team can execute.
What comes next
The Compliance Review feeds directly into follow-on implementation support (6-12 months). We help your team execute the roadmap and prepare for the auditor.
For technical evidence, pair with a Phishing Simulation (EUR 5,999-6,999) for human security controls and a Cloud Security Assessment (EUR 5,999-6,999) for infrastructure evidence.
