Cybersecurity & Compliance
Security and compliance services that help you understand risk, implement the right controls and stay prepared as requirements change.
A customer or investor asks for ISO 27001 or SOC 2 and nobody knows where to start. The infrastructure has grown for years without anyone owning security. There is a long list of findings and no agreed order to fix them in.
We implement compliance tooling that collects evidence and monitors controls continuously, we assess where you actually stand, and we stay involved while the gaps get closed. We help you become ready. The certificate itself is issued by an accredited auditor, not by us.
What you can actually buy.
- 01
Compliance automation
Software that tracks your controls and collects the evidence continuously, instead of a scramble three weeks before the audit.
- Automated evidence collection
- Control status in one dashboard
- Continuous monitoring for compliance drift
- Policy and documentation management
- Audit preparation support
Delivered on established compliance platforms. See Technologies. Package structure.
- 02
Framework readiness
Getting you to the point where an auditor can certify you, and helping you stay there afterwards.
- ISO 27001 readiness
- SOC 2 readiness
- GDPR-related security processes
- Gap analysis against the framework
- Remediation planning with named owners
SoftSols prepares organisations for certification. Certification itself is issued by an accredited external auditor.
- 03
Security assessments
An honest picture of where you actually stand, ranked by what an attacker could genuinely reach.
- Review of identity, endpoints, cloud and network exposure
- Process and access review
- Findings ranked by real exposure, not scanner severity
- Prioritised remediation plan
- A summary the board can read
- 04
Continuous monitoring
Ongoing visibility, so a control that quietly breaks in March is noticed in March.
- Control monitoring and alerting
- Change tracking
- Compliance drift detection
- Security posture reporting for management
- 05
Security advisory
Access to a security opinion when you need one, without carrying a permanent hire.
- What actually needs protecting, in your business
- Which controls are proportionate at your size
- Which tooling is worth buying and which is not
- Vendor and architecture review
- Support during customer security questionnaires
One real example, start to finish.
- 01
ASK
Customer sends a questionnaire
Or an investor asks about ISO 27001
- 02
ASSESS
Where you actually stand
Controls, gaps and real exposure mapped
- 03
IMPLEMENT
Tooling and controls
Evidence collection running continuously
- 04
CLOSE
Gaps remediated
Prioritised, with owners and dates
- 05
SUSTAIN
Ready, and stays ready
Monitored rather than rebuilt each year
- Identity providers
- Cloud platforms
- Endpoints
- HR systems
- Ticketing
- Code repositories
Companies being asked for a security standard by customers, investors or regulators. And companies whose infrastructure has outgrown the controls around it.
You can answer a security questionnaire without a fire drill, and you know which risks you have accepted on purpose.
Five stages, scope and price fixed before anything is built.
- 01
Understand
We sit with the people doing the work and map what actually happens, including the parts nobody documented. We find where the time and money are going.
You receive
- Process map
- Volume and cost baseline
- Prioritised opportunities
- 02
Design
We define what gets built, automated or configured, what stays with a person, which systems it touches and how it fails safely. You approve this before work starts.
You receive
- Solution design
- Integration map
- Fixed scope and price
- 03
Build
We configure, integrate or develop. Whichever is genuinely right. We prefer well-supported technology and reserve custom development for where it earns its keep.
You receive
- Working system
- Testing
- Documentation
- 04
Deploy
It goes live in the real environment, usually to a limited group first. Your team is trained and knows how to intervene.
You receive
- Staged rollout
- Runbook
- Handover
- 05
Operate and improve
We stay involved. Systems that touch customers behave differently under real traffic, and the interesting work usually starts after go-live.
You receive
- Monitoring
- Support agreement
- Improvement backlog
- AI & AutomationAI systems that communicate, understand information and perform work inside your existing business processes.Explore
- Software & DigitalizationSoftware, applications and integrations designed around the way your business actually works.Explore
- Managed IT & ConnectivityOngoing IT support, infrastructure, connectivity and operations, so someone is accountable for keeping the technology behind your business working.Explore
Bring us a secure problem, not a specification.
Describe the process or the situation. Half an hour is usually enough to tell whether there is a project here and roughly what it would cost.
