Case studies

Engagements, by the deadline they were up against.

Every engagement starts from one commercial deadline — a vendor review, a tender condition, or a policy renewal. Here is how three of them ended.

ISO 27001 readiness to unblock a stalled enterprise deal

A payments-adjacent SaaS had a signed intent to buy held up by the customer's vendor-security review. We built the ISMS, ran risk treatment and the internal audit, and prepared the team for a Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessment with an accredited body.

Essential Eight uplift to meet a tender's security floor

A consultancy needed to demonstrate an Essential Eight maturity level to remain eligible for a government panel. We assessed the current position, prioritised the gaps that actually moved the maturity score, and documented evidence against each of the eight strategies.

Insurance audit that turned a renewal problem into an ongoing retainer
