★★★★★G2
We needed ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 in place to bid for an enterprise contract. Alfred took us through both without making it feel like a second job. He scoped it in one call, told us exactly what he needed from us and when, and then did the heavy lifting.
Deji O., Principal Consultant, Planergie
★★★★★G2
Goldline takes what can otherwise be quite complex compliance requirements and breaks them down into clear, manageable actions. The guidance has been particularly useful for a startup that needs to build appropriate processes without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

Constants

Five things that never change

01

Fixed programme fees

Fixed. Scope confirmed on the free diagnostic.

02

Readiness credits in full

Every readiness service, including the First Security Questionnaire, credits in full against a Sprint started within six months.

03

No setup fees

No mobilisation charge and no unagreed change fees.

04

Separate audit fee

Certification body audit fees are billed separately and paid to that body directly.

05

Senior practitioner delivery

The person who scopes it is the person who delivers it.

Doing it alone vs with Goldline

Doing it alone

  • One person reads the standard at night and guesses which controls apply.
  • A template pack that an auditor takes apart at Stage 1.
  • The boundary drawn too wide, so everything after it is bigger.
  • Evidence gathered in the week before the visit.
  • The audit date moving because the internal audit was left to the end.

With Goldline

  • The person who scopes it is the person who delivers it.
  • A boundary agreed in writing before anything is built.
  • Your team builds it. Goldline directs the order and reviews every artefact.
  • Evidence organised so an auditor or a procurement reviewer can find it without a rebuild.
  • Fixed published prices, confirmed after scoping. An independent body certifies.

The diagnostic comes first. If it is all you need, that is a good outcome and nothing else happens.

How it runs

What actually happens, phase by phase.

Phase 01

Scope and gap

We agree your boundary and assess the controls against where you are today.

You get: a gap register with an owner and a date on every line, and a drafted Statement of Applicability.
Phase 02

Build

We build the policies, procedures and evidence with the people who will maintain them.

You get: policies, procedures and the records that evidence them.
Phase 03

Evidence and internal audit

The clause 9.2 internal audit and the management review happen before Stage 2. The internal audit is carried out by an independent internal auditor appointed by Goldline, never by the team that built your system.

You get: the internal audit and management review, completed and evidenced.
Phase 04

Stage 1 and audit defence

A senior practitioner supports your independent ISO assessments, with Stage 1 findings closed before Stage 2.

You get: Stage 1 findings closed before Stage 2, with a senior practitioner in the room.
