Common Challenges

Issues organizations face that drive the need for independent assessment

Unclear Gap Status

Organizations do not know exactly which ISO requirements they meet and which need work.

Documentation Gaps

Policies and procedures exist informally but are not documented to the standard required by ISO auditors.

Control Implementation Gaps

Controls are partially implemented or not consistently applied across the organization.

Audit Failure Risk

Formal ISO audits are expensive — failing due to preventable gaps wastes time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions

We assess readiness for ISO 27001 (information security), ISO 20000 (IT service management), ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 22301 (business continuity), ISO 42001 (AI management) and other standards on request.
We recommend 3-6 months before your formal audit. This gives enough time to identify and close gaps while the assessment findings are still current.
We provide detailed guidance on what documentation is needed, review existing documents and provide templates and recommendations. We do not write documentation for you to maintain our independence as an assessor.
