ISO 27001, done properly, built to last.

Senior-led implementation that fits how your business actually works, without bloated frameworks or junior handoffs.

How an engagement runs
From certification through every audit after. Fixed scope and fixed price. ISO 27001, SOC 2 and beyond.

Your next deal depends on a certification you don’t yet hold.

For most technology companies, ISO 27001 becomes a priority the moment revenue depends on it, when an enterprise deal stalls in procurement, or a security review asks for proof you can’t yet provide. Certification stops being a someday project and becomes the one thing standing between you and the contract.

ISO 27001 implementation, end to end.

Stenward takes you from wherever you are today through to certification, and can keep your management system audit-ready long after the certificate is issued.

The full standard, clause by clause.

ISO 27001:2022 has two parts: a management system (Clauses 4 to 10) and 93 controls in Annex A across four themes. We build both, and document a clear justification for any control that doesn’t apply to you.

Six services, each led by a senior practitioner.

The compliance function you don’t have to build.

Rigour without the overhead. One senior practitioner covers what would otherwise need a team or a costly hire.

Recent client work.

The process, from first call to certificate.

A proven four-phase approach, tailored to your situation and keeping you involved every step of the way.

The scope you agree is the scope we deliver.

The price you agree at the start is the price you pay, and changes to the agreed scope are ours to absorb.

Most consultancies scope quickly with a junior and a checklist, then bill for what they missed. We scope carefully before we quote, and the senior practitioner running discovery is the same person delivering the work. If we get the estimate wrong, that’s ours to absorb. Not yours.

We scope it ourselves. Carefully, before we ever quote a price. Fixed-price engagement. Documented in your Statement of Work. Scope changes only if you change scope. Anything new is quoted separately.
