FOR ORGANISATIONS ALREADY ON A COMPLIANCE PLATFORM

The platform is running. The audit is not getting closer.

A GRC platform. They collect evidence and monitor controls continuously, and they do that well. What none of them does is decide your scope, write a Statement of Applicability an auditor will accept, run your clause 9.2 internal audit, or sit in the room at Stage 2. Where those are missing, the platform shows green and the audit still fails.

Find out what is actually missing

The platform reports on the controls it was configured to watch. If the scope was wrong when it was set up, everything downstream is green and wrong with it.

The document the platform will not write

Clause 6.1.3 d) requires a Statement of Applicability recording which controls you decided were necessary and why. That is a judgement about your risk, and no software can make it for you.

An audit that is independent

Clause 9.2 requires auditors selected to ensure objectivity. If the people who configured the platform also audit it, the requirement is not met, and a certification body checks.

Someone in the room at Stage 2

The auditor will ask why a control is in scope and why another is out. Those answers live in the decisions, not in the dashboard.

What this is for

  • The platform was bought months ago and the certification date has not moved.

  • Controls show as passing but nobody can explain what is in scope.

  • Policies came from the template library and have never been read by the people who own them.

  • An auditor has asked a question the platform cannot answer.

What happens

PHASE 01

Scope review

What the management system actually covers, written down, and whether the platform configuration matches it.

PHASE 02

Configuration audit

Which controls are monitored, which are manual, and which are switched on but meaningless.

PHASE 03

Evidence gap register

Every gap with an owner and a date, mapped to the clause or control it fails.

PHASE 04

Route to audit

What has to happen before Stage 1, in what order, and what it will cost.

What you get

  • A written scope statement

  • A platform configuration review

  • A gap register with owners and dates

  • A dated route to Stage 1

Fixed price, confirmed at the free diagnostic.

Frequently asked

The platform collects evidence and monitors controls continuously, and it does that well. What it does not do is decide your scope, record why each control was judged necessary, or answer an auditor asking how a decision was reached. This engagement supplies the judgement the platform was never built to make.

Not on a system Goldline configured. Clause 9.2 requires the audit to be independent of the work being audited, and configuring a platform and then auditing it does not meet that. An independent credentialled auditor is introduced instead, and the internal audit is run by them.

No. The work runs in whichever platform is already there. Changing platform partway through usually costs evidence history you would rather keep, and the gaps found here are rarely gaps in the software.

The fee is fixed before work starts and depends on the scope, the framework and the state of the existing configuration. Published prices for the underlying programmes and assessments are set out on the pricing page. See pricing.
