Compliance & Governance
From first gap analysis to certificate, and every audit after. We run your compliance programme and our engineers close the gaps it finds, so frameworks become proof, not paperwork.
The audit date is set. The evidence is not.
Compliance rarely fails on intent. It fails in the gap between the policies you wrote and what your systems actually do, usually discovered the week before the auditor arrives.
- A customer contract now requires ISO 27001 or SOC 2.
- Recertification is due and nobody kept the evidence.
- NIS2, DORA or the EU AI Act now applies to you.
Three ways to get compliant.
Each one gets you a plan. Only one also closes the gaps and keeps them closed.
-
01
Do it in-house
Someone senior gives up a quarter to learn the standard, write the policies and chase evidence. Then does it all again next year.
cost: your best people's time -
02
Buy a compliance platform
It collects evidence and tracks controls. It tells you what is failing. It does not fix it.

03
nesec Compliance & Governance
We run the programme end to end and our engineers resolve the gaps it finds. You get the certificate and the controls that earn it.
output: certified + gaps closed
Your deadline first. Progress in weeks, not after a long assessment.
There is no standard project plan. We start from your framework and your deadline, whether that is a first certificate, a surveillance audit or a new regulation, and work back from there.

first weeks
Scope and gap
The right framework and scope for your customers and regulators, and a gap analysis that shows exactly what stands between you and the audit. Quick fixes start straight away.
-
next
Resolve the gaps
Policies written for how you actually work, and controls implemented by our engineers in your cloud, code and processes. Evidence collected as we go, not assembled at the end.
-
ongoing
Certify and stay certified
We prepare you for the audit and sit in it with you. Then we run the programme: internal audits, risk reviews, evidence, management reviews and the next audit cycle.
The whole programme, not just the policies.
End to end, or only the parts you need. Every framework you are held to, run as one programme with one set of controls.
-
01
Certification
ISO 27001, SOC 2 and ISO 42001, scoped, implemented and taken through audit. For AI-specific governance, see AI Governance.
-
02
Regulation
NIS2, DORA, GDPR and the EU AI Act. Whether they apply, what they demand, and the controls that satisfy them.
-
03
Policies & governance
Policies, roles, risk register and management reviews that reflect how you really operate, not a template.
-
04
Gap remediation
Controls built by our engineers: access reviews, logging, backups, vulnerability management, vendor assessments.
-
05
Evidence & audits
Evidence collected continuously, internal audits run on schedule, and an auditor-ready trail at any moment.
-
06
Customer assurance
Security questionnaires, customer audits and trust pages answered from one source of truth.
A certificate is not the goal. Being secure is.
Most compliance work stops at the policy. Ours carries on into the systems: the team that runs your programme is the team that closes its gaps, so the controls auditors test are the controls that protect you. We hold ourselves to the same standard. See our internal controls.
Compliance as engineering, not paperwork.
Built for teams that need proof, not projects.
If you already have a compliance team, we take on the remediation work they cannot do alone.
