Compliance & Security Audits
We provide the technical compliance assessments, security architecture reviews, and audit preparation services that give your stakeholders — customers, regulators, and board — evidence-backed confidence in your security posture.
What We Deliver
Compliance & Audit Capabilities
From ISO 27001 and SOC 2 readiness to GDPR technical compliance and vendor security assessments — audit preparation that results in passing, not just preparing.
ISO 27001 Audit Preparation
Gap assessment against ISO 27001:2022 controls, risk assessment support, ISMS documentation review, and technical control implementation — preparing your organisation for certification audit with confidence.
SOC 2 Type I & Type II Readiness
Readiness assessments covering the five Trust Services Criteria — Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy — identifying control gaps, supporting evidence collection, and preparing your team for auditor review.
PCI DSS Compliance Assessment
Scoping, gap assessment, and remediation guidance for PCI DSS compliance — covering network segmentation, cardholder data environment controls, logging, access management, and penetration testing requirements.
GDPR Technical Compliance Review
Technical assessment of your GDPR compliance posture: data mapping, consent management, privacy by design implementation, data subject rights workflows, data processor agreements, and breach response procedures.
Security Architecture Review
Independent expert review of your security architecture — evaluating authentication, authorisation, network design, data protection, and cryptographic controls against industry best practice and your specific threat model.
Vendor & Supply Chain Security Assessment
Assessing the security posture of your critical technology vendors and supply chain — reviewing SLAs, certifications, access controls, and data handling practices to identify third-party risk.
How We Work
Our Compliance Audit Process
From scope definition to audit support — a structured engagement that takes you from gap awareness to compliance-ready posture.
Scope Definition
Agreeing the audit scope, applicable standards, systems and data in scope, and the compliance timeline — ensuring the assessment focuses on what matters most for your specific business context.
Evidence Collection & Gap Assessment
Reviewing existing policies, controls, and technical configurations — mapping your current posture against the relevant standard and identifying specific gaps.
Risk Assessment
Evaluating the severity and business impact of identified gaps — prioritising remediation efforts by risk level and compliance deadline.
Remediation Planning
Producing a detailed remediation roadmap: what needs to be fixed, how, by whom, and by when — with effort estimates and clear ownership for each item.
Remediation Support
Hands-on support for technical remediation: implementing security controls, updating configurations, building missing processes, and documenting evidence for auditor review.
Audit Support & Follow-Up
Supporting your team through the formal audit process, responding to auditor questions, and managing any post-audit remediation requirements.
Why SharpLogic
Why organisations choose us for compliance audits
Standards experts, not box-tickers
We understand what compliance frameworks actually require at the technical level — not just which boxes to tick, but how controls need to be implemented to satisfy auditors.
Remediation, not just reports
We don't just produce gap reports and leave. Our teams implement the technical controls, build the processes, and help you get to compliance — not just aware of it.
Practical prioritisation
Not all compliance gaps are equal. We prioritise remediation by actual risk and compliance impact — so your team focuses effort where it matters most.
Auditor relationships
Experience working with Big Four and specialist auditing firms — we know what they look for and how to structure evidence that satisfies their requirements efficiently.
