Standards & Frameworks

Why has compliance become so dreaded?

Whether it’s facing an annual audit, navigating client security questionnaires, or being asked to demonstrate adherence to standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, or Cyber Essentials, compliance often feels more like a punishment than a protective measure.

Here’s why ISO 27001 is considered the gold standard for information security

This process involves adjusting various settings on devices and software to enhance security, ensuring that only the most necessary features are enabled, and that outdated, unused, or unsupported services are disabled.
