Sound familiar?

Enterprise customers are asking

Before they sign a contract, enterprise buyers want to see ISO 27001 certification or a clear path to it. Without one, you lose deals.

93 controls is a lot to figure out

Annex A has 93 controls across organizational, people, physical, and technological categories. Knowing which ones apply and how to implement them is where most organisations stall.

Certification auditors expect evidence

ISO 27001 isn't a self-assessment. Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits require documented policies, risk assessments, and evidence of implementation. A gap analysis tells you exactly what's missing.

// who this is for

If you handle customer data, this is for you.

SaaS companies

Enterprise customers increasingly require ISO 27001 as a procurement prerequisite. A gap analysis shows you exactly how far away certification is.

Growing businesses

You've outgrown informal security practices. ISO 27001 gives you a framework that scales with your team and demonstrates maturity to partners.

Companies pursuing certification

You've decided to go for ISO 27001 but don't know where to start. A gap analysis is always the first step.

Regulated industries

Healthcare, fintech, and government suppliers often need ISO 27001 alongside industry-specific frameworks. The gap analysis covers the overlap.

// why me and not a consultancy
Robbie Cronin

One engineer. Not a sales team.

I'm a senior software engineer with 10+ years in platform infrastructure. CNCF maintainer. ASD Cyber Security Partner. I do the assessment myself. No juniors, no handoffs, no 200-page report written by a graduate who's never seen production code.

You talk to me, I do the work, I write the report. That's why it costs $6K instead of $30K.

// questions

Common questions

How long does ISO 27001 certification take?

The gap analysis takes 1-2 weeks. Getting from gap analysis to certification-ready typically takes 3-6 months depending on your starting point. The timeline depends on how many controls you already have in place.

Do I need ISO 27001:2013 or 2022?

ISO 27001:2022 is the current version. All new certifications should target 2022. If you're already certified to 2013, you need to transition by October 2025. The gap analysis targets 2022.

What's the difference between a gap analysis and a certification audit?

A gap analysis identifies what's missing before you go for certification. It's low-stakes and educational. A certification audit is the formal assessment by an accredited body that decides whether you pass. You want the gap analysis first so you know you'll pass the audit.

What's the Statement of Applicability?

The SoA is the master document that lists all 93 Annex A controls and states which ones apply to your organisation and why. It's mandatory for certification and one of the first things an auditor reviews. I help you build or review yours as part of the gap analysis.

How is this different from a Big 4 engagement?

Three ways. First, I do the work myself. No juniors, no handoffs. You get a senior engineer with 10+ years experience, not a team where the partner shows up for the pitch and a graduate does the assessment. Second, it costs $6-8K instead of $30K+. Third, it takes 1-2 weeks instead of 6-8. Same rigour, less overhead.

Can you help with implementation after the gap analysis?

Yes. The assessment identifies gaps and prioritises them. If you need help closing those gaps, I can scope a remediation engagement separately. Most organisations start with the assessment and then decide what they want to tackle themselves vs what they need help with.
