Scoped before it starts. Finished when it's done. Audit-ready in 30 days — a fixed-scope engagement that maps your existing infrastructure to what regulators actually verify.
Traditional ISO 27001 implementations span 12–18 months. Consultancies bill by the hour and incentivise complexity. SMEs cannot afford the time or the cost.
NIS2, CRA, and ISO 27001 use overlapping, technical language. Most organisations cannot map what they already do to what regulators actually require without expert guidance.
Evidence is gathered under pressure in the weeks before an audit. Gaps surface too late to close. The result is a stressful, expensive scramble that repeats every cycle.
Roles and responsibilities exist informally. Without a RACI framework and documented procedures, regulators cannot verify accountability — regardless of actual security maturity.
Risk registers either do not exist or list assets without scored severity. Unquantified risk cannot be prioritised, resourced, or reported to the board with confidence.
NIS2 mandates incident reporting within 24 hours of awareness. Without a tested incident response procedure, that deadline cannot be met — and regulators will notice.
A structured, fixed-scope engagement. Every phase has defined inputs, outputs, and a handoff point. No scope creep. No open-ended retainer.
Kickoff with leadership and IT stakeholders. A CyberCheck Basic assessment (BSI/ENISA-aligned) establishes the baseline. Applicable controls under ISO 27001, NIS2, and CRA are identified and a prioritised gap register is delivered before week-end.
Rapid risk-scoring of Top-5 risks (ISO 27005). Likelihood and impact rated per asset and business process. Quick-win mitigations planned to reduce exposure before audit activity begins.
RACI framework assigns responsibilities across all security domains. IT-operations documentation written or updated. Compliance overview document produced — cross-referenced to framework controls and ready for external review.
Scenario-based security-awareness workshop for all staff. NIS2 incident response procedure drafted and tabletop-tested. Final deliverable: the complete audit-ready evidence package.
Eight concrete outputs. Every document is audit-ready, written in plain language, and owned entirely by your organisation — no vendor lock-in.
A prioritised, framework-mapped list of open compliance gaps across ISO 27001, NIS2, and CRA — with remediation effort estimates and recommended sequencing.
Top-5 scored risks with likelihood and impact ratings, asset mapping, risk owners, and quick-win mitigation actions. Ready for board reporting and audit evidence submission.
Role-and-responsibility assignments across all relevant security domains — defining who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed for every key control.
Baseline procedures for patch management, access control, and backup — written to the vocabulary of your actual infrastructure, not a generic template.
A single-page regulatory map showing applicable controls, current status, evidence locations, and open gaps — designed for auditor hand-off and board-level review.
A tested, role-assigned incident response playbook covering detection, internal escalation, NIS2 72-hour notification, and post-incident review. Includes tabletop exercise log.
A two-hour scenario-based session for all staff — delivered live or recorded. Covers phishing, social engineering, regulatory obligations, and incident reporting procedures.
All seven documents above compiled into a structured evidence folder — indexed, cross-referenced to framework controls, and ready for submission to an external auditor.
Two live engagements — the same sprint structure, two different clients, two different regulators. Download the full case studies to see how findings were resolved and certifications confirmed.
Two-week sprint. 100% of Stage 1 findings addressed. 2 minor non-conformities raised — both resolved with accepted corrective action records. Certification confirmed by the British Assessment Bureau.
Two-week internal audit with Vanta access. 15 evidence gaps identified and mapped to specific controls. Report delivered day 14 and uploaded to Vanta with a timestamped audit trail. Led to a 6-month vCISO retainer.
Compliance is not a documentation exercise — it is a discipline of knowing your infrastructure well enough to defend it. The sprint forces that knowledge to the surface in 30 days, so regulators see what you have built, not what you plan to build.
The sprint maps to all three major EU cybersecurity frameworks simultaneously — eliminating the need for sequential, framework-by-framework programmes.
One fixed-scope sprint. Eight auditor-ready deliverables. No open-ended retainer.
