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.

Questions

Pricing questions

Are these prices fixed or do you bill by the day?

Fixed. The scope is agreed on the diagnostic and the price is confirmed in writing before work begins. It does not move afterwards unless the scope changes and both parties agree in writing. Goldline does not bill day rates.

What is not included?

Certification body audit fees are billed separately and paid to the body directly. Any licence needed for your chosen tools is quoted separately and set out in your engagement letter. Your own team's time is the cost most organisations underestimate.

Does the readiness assessment really credit in full?

Yes. Every readiness service, including the First Security Questionnaire, credits in full against a Sprint started within six months. The fee is deducted in full from the Sprint price.

What will my certification body charge?

The audit fee is separate and is quoted per engagement by the body itself. Audit days are set by the number of people doing work inside the scope, following ISO/IEC 27006-1:2024 Annex C.

Will you also certify what you build?

No. Goldline is not a certification body and does not issue certificates. Goldline will not audit a management system it implemented, and will not sell implementation and certification to the same organisation for the same scope. The internal audit is carried out by an independent internal auditor appointed by Goldline, never by the team that built your system.

What happens above the fixed-fee scope?

The fixed Sprint fees cover a single legal entity, up to 50 people in scope, one site or cloud hosted. A larger or multi-entity scope is scoped on the free diagnostic. Certification body figures are estimates from the Annex C table rather than quotations and do not bind any certification body.
