WHY HAEL
Most failed reviews are not failures of security. They are failures of evidence.
The standards are public. Anyone can read the SOC 2 criteria or download ISO/IEC 42001. What separates a certificate from a rejected report is whether the evidence holds together when someone examines it, and whether it still describes what you do six months later.
Practice
Every engagement is led by someone who has taken organisations through authorisation and supervision. That judgement is what stops a scope being drawn wrong in week one and found in month six.
Method
Fixed scope, fixed price, and a schedule you can see from the start. You know what happens each week, what we need from you, and what you hold at the end.
Record
Your systems, controls, evidence and approvals live in one place. It is included in every engagement, and it stays yours when we finish.
FRAMEWORKS
One partner for every framework
Without adding vendors, handoffs, or advice that contradicts itself.
SERVICES
However far along you are
Gap analysis
Where you stand against the standard you are being measured on, and what it will take. Days, not weeks.
Implementation
The management system, controls, documentation and evidence, built to survive examination. We run the project, configure your compliance platform, and prepare you for the certification body.
Internal audit
Required every year, and it cannot be performed by the body that certifies you. We run it independently.
Certification support
Scoping, evidence, and sitting beside you through Stage 1 and Stage 2.
Security reviews and questionnaires
The CAIQ, the SIG, a DDQ, or a buyer's own spreadsheet. Answered from your approved evidence base.
Continuous assurance
Systems change, vendors change, rules change. We keep the record current so the next cycle is a review, not a rebuild.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Three situations we are usually called into
The first enterprise review
A buyer's security or AI questionnaire has arrived, and the answer decides the deal.
Scaling AI across the business
More systems than anyone can track by hand, and no single position that holds across them.
Already certified, now adding AI
SOC 2 or ISO 27001 is in place, and AI governance has to be added without starting over.
HOW WE WORK
Three stages, and you know what happens in each
Scope
We review your systems, your target buyers and the standards you are being measured against, and agree a scope, a price and a schedule before any work starts.
Build
We stand up the management system, the controls and the evidence, and draft the artefacts against the standard you will be examined on.
Assure
After certification we keep the record current, answer buyer reviews from it, and track the regulatory changes that affect you.
INSIGHTS
Written for the people who have to operationalise it.
Guides and briefings on the standards, the regulations, and the reviews that decide enterprise deals.
