ISO & Regulatory Compliance Audits
We assess your information security, privacy, business continuity (BCMS) and AI-governance controls against ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 22301, ISO 42001, GDPR and HIPAA, led by a certified ISO 27001 lead auditor, and turn every gap into a practical, evidence-backed remediation plan.
Assessment focus
- Identify gaps against the specific ISO clause, GDPR article or HIPAA rule they relate to
- Verify controls actually operate as documented, not just on paper
- Prepare your organization for certification audit or regulator review
// Why this assessment matters
Security context before security testing.
ISO certification bodies, GDPR regulators and HIPAA auditors all expect the same thing: proof that your controls work, not just that a policy document exists. Organizations pursuing ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 22301 (BCMS) or ISO 42001 certification — or needing to demonstrate GDPR or HIPAA compliance to customers and regulators — often discover the gap between written policy and actual practice only during the certification audit itself, when it is expensive and time-pressured to fix.
We assess your organization against the specific standard or standards that apply — mapping each control to the relevant ISO clause, GDPR article or HIPAA rule — and verify technically that it operates as documented: access control, encryption, logging, incident response, vendor management and more. The assessment is led by a certified ISO 27001 lead auditor, so findings are framed the way a certification body or regulator will actually evaluate them.
Strong reasons to engage
01
You are preparing for ISO 27001, 27701, 22301 (BCMS) or 42001 certification and want a gap assessment before the formal audit
02
Enterprise customers or partners are requesting evidence of GDPR or HIPAA compliance
03
Your ISMS, privacy program or business continuity management system (BCMS) was documented once and never independently verified
04
A previous certification audit raised nonconformities that need closing out
// Testing coverage
What our specialists examine.
Coverage is adapted to your architecture and risk profile. These modules form the baseline for a complete iso & regulatory compliance audits.
01
ISO 27001 ISMS assessment
Information security management system controls — risk treatment, access control, cryptography, logging and Annex A controls.
02
ISO 27701 privacy controls
Privacy information management controls layered on your ISMS, including data-subject rights and processor obligations.
03
GDPR compliance review
Lawful basis, consent, data-subject rights, Article 30 records, DPIAs and cross-border transfer mechanisms.
04
HIPAA safeguards
Administrative, physical and technical safeguards for protected health information under the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules.
05
ISO 22301 BCMS audit
Business continuity management system controls — business impact analysis, recovery objectives, continuity plans and exercise/testing evidence.
06
ISO 42001 AI governance
AI management system controls — risk assessment, data governance, transparency and lifecycle oversight for AI systems.
// Preparing for kickoff
What we need to begin efficiently.
Perfect documentation is not required. A clear starting point helps us confirm scope, reduce setup time and spend more of the engagement testing the risks that matter.
Scope01
Assets and boundaries
A current list of the iso & regulatory compliance audits assets, environments and exclusions that should be covered.
Access02
Representative access
Policies, systems and process owners, plus the roles, accounts or technical context needed to test realistic trust boundaries.
Safety03
Operational contacts
A technical owner, emergency contact, approved testing window and any production constraints we should follow.
Context04
Architecture and priorities
Relevant diagrams, recent changes, high-value workflows and known concerns help us focus effort where failure matters most.
Not sure what is in scope?
Share your architecture or business objective. We will help turn it into a practical assessment boundary and testing plan.

Testing standardISO 27001 · 27701 · 22301 (BCMS) · 42001 · GDPR · HIPAA
01
Scope and framework mapping
We confirm which standards apply to your organization — ISO 27001, 27701, 22301, 42001, GDPR, HIPAA, or a combination — and the systems in scope.
02
Control and evidence assessment
We test whether technical and organizational controls actually meet each applicable clause, article or rule, not just whether a policy exists.
03
Remediation and re-verification
We deliver a prioritized gap-closure plan and re-verify confirmed fixes ahead of your certification or regulatory audit.
04
Report, debrief and retest
We explain the attack paths, support remediation and verify submitted fixes with updated evidence.
// What you receive
Evidence your teams can actually use.
The output is designed for remediation, decision-making and assurance, not just for archiving after the test.
01
Standard-mapped gap assessment report
Findings referenced to the specific ISO clause, GDPR article or HIPAA rule they relate to, with risk rating.
02
Certification/audit readiness summary
A clear view of what's ready today versus what needs remediation before a certification or regulatory audit.
03
Executive compliance summary
A leadership-ready view of exposure, remediation priorities and estimated effort.
04
Remediation roadmap
A prioritized, practical sequence of fixes, built around your actual certification or audit timeline.
05
Re-verification report
Confirmation that remediated controls close the identified nonconformities, with updated evidence.
// When to engage
Bring us in when the decision carries real risk.
Before certification01
Get audit-ready before the certification body arrives
Close gaps in advance so your ISO 27001, 27701, 22301 (BCMS) or 42001 certification audit surfaces no surprises.
For assurance02
Answer customer and partner due-diligence requests
Provide evidence-backed answers to GDPR, HIPAA and ISO-related security questionnaires.
After a finding03
Close out nonconformities from a prior audit
Verify and evidence that previously flagged gaps are actually remediated before reassessment.
// Built for every stakeholder
One assessment. Clear outcomes for every team involved.
The same technical evidence is translated into the context each audience needs to make decisions, implement fixes and demonstrate assurance.
01
Engineering teams
Reproduce and resolve findings faster.
Receive evidence, root-cause context and practical remediation guidance directly from the specialists who performed the work.
02
Security leaders
Prioritize risk with defensible context.
Understand exploitability, attack paths, systemic control gaps and the fixes that reduce the most meaningful exposure.
03
Leadership and auditors
Use clear evidence for assurance decisions.
Get an executive view, standards mapping and verified closure status that can support governance, customer and audit conversations.
// Engagement safeguards
Security testing conducted with operational discipline.
A strong assessment must protect the systems and information it is intended to secure. These controls apply throughout the engagement.
01
Written authorization
Scope, permitted techniques, excluded assets and responsible contacts are agreed before any assessment activity begins.
02
Controlled execution
Testing follows defined windows, rate limits and production-safe rules with an immediate escalation and stop process.
03
Protected evidence
Engagement data and proof are access-controlled, handled confidentially and retained only for the agreed period.
04
Verified communication
Critical issues are escalated as soon as they are confirmed, with direct access to the specialist for remediation questions.

// Common questions
What teams ask before kickoff.
We finalize scope, access and safety controls before testing. These are the questions we answer most often for this service.
Do you issue the ISO certificate?
No — ISO certification is issued by an accredited certification body following their own audit. We prepare you for that audit: gap assessment, remediation support and evidence readiness, led by a certified ISO 27001 lead auditor.
Can you assess multiple standards at once?
Yes. Where obligations overlap — ISO 27001 and GDPR, or ISO 27701 and HIPAA — we assess the shared controls once and map the evidence to every applicable standard, which is faster and cheaper than separate reviews.
Can this be combined with a VAPT or cloud audit?
Yes. Compliance gap assessments are often scoped alongside a Web/API VAPT, Cloud Security Audit or Secure Code Review so technical findings and compliance evidence are produced together.
