What it is
A structured review of your security controls and governance
An audit assesses how your organisation manages cybersecurity — from policies and access controls through to vendor management, incident response, and technical configuration — against a recognised framework. You get a documented gap analysis with prioritised, costed remediation steps.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a cybersecurity audit?
A cybersecurity audit is a structured review of your security controls, policies, and practices against a recognised framework — ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, Cyber Essentials, or a customer's own requirements. The output is a gap analysis and prioritised remediation plan.
How is an audit different from a penetration test?
A pentest is a technical attack simulation against specific systems. An audit is a broader review of how your organisation manages security — governance, policies, access controls, vendor management, incident response, and technical configuration.
How long does an audit take?
A focused readiness audit typically runs two to six weeks depending on scope. Full ISO 27001 or SOC 2 implementation programmes that include audit preparation usually take three to nine months.
Do I need a formal audit or just a review?
If you need a certificate or attestation report to share with customers, you'll need a formal third-party audit. If you want to understand your gaps before committing, start with an internal readiness audit — both are available through providers on the platform.
