An external audit should not be a surprise. Or a crisis.
Specialist support for companies that need to prepare for, pass or respond to an external security or privacy audit, with real documentation, gaps addressed and evidence ready.
The gap assessment shows what the auditor will find before they arrive.
Companies that already trust us
The external auditor will not wait until you are ready. But you can be.
Surprise findings that lead to critical non-conformities
Without a prior gap assessment, the external auditor discovers what you should have found first, leading to serious findings, requests for action plans and a risk of failing certification.
Incomplete or outdated documentation
The auditor asks for evidence: policies, records, logs, implemented controls. Without organised, auditable and up-to-date documentation, even what works well stays invisible.
Internal team without audit process experience
Knowing how to do security is different from knowing how to demonstrate it. Without experience of external audits (ISO 27001, SOC 2, LGPD), the internal team does not know how to present what it does well.
Before, during and after. You are never left alone in the audit.
Specialist support in every phase of the external audit, for ISO 27001, SOC 2, LGPD, GDPR, NIS2, PCI-DSS and Cyber Essentials (UK).
Find and close the gaps while there is still time to act.
Specialists in the room, translating the technical into the auditor's language.
Close each finding within the contractual deadline, with evidence.
From preparation to response. Alongside your team at every stage.
Pre-audit gap assessment
A full assessment of the audit framework's requirements against the company's current state, with a prioritised list of gaps and a remediation plan before the auditor arrives.
Preparation of documentation and evidence
Organisation, updating and drafting of the policies, procedures and evidence the auditor requires, mapped directly to each framework control.
Simulated internal audit (mock audit)
A full simulation of the external audit process, with interviews, evidence review and control assessment, to identify and fix weak points before the real day.
Support during the external audit
B10SEC specialists present during the auditor's interviews and reviews, to clarify answers, organise evidence in real time and ensure the technical context is communicated correctly.
Post-audit action plan
Analysis of the audit report's findings and development of a structured remediation plan, with owners, deadlines and prioritisation by criticality and contractual deadline.
Remediation follow-up
Ongoing support in implementing the action plan, verifying gap closure, updating evidence and preparing the formal response to the auditor within the agreed deadlines.
Any external auditor who asks for security or privacy evidence.
We work on certification audits, customer audits, controller requirements and regulatory checks.
Five stages, from understanding the business to interacting with the auditor.
Each stage has a deliverable, an owner and a deadline defined at the start of the engagement.
Why the right support makes a difference
to the audit outcome.
We know the auditor's language
We understand what the auditor looks for, how they interpret evidence and where they tend to find gaps, and we use that knowledge in your company's favour throughout the process.
Multi-framework coverage
ISO 27001, SOC 2, LGPD, GDPR, NIS2, PCI-DSS and Cyber Essentials (UK), with specialists who understand the controls and requirements of each framework and how they relate in your context.
Integrated technical and documentation support
Documentation review comes with execution: we implement missing controls, configure tools and generate real technical evidence when needed.
Result: fewer findings, more confidence
Companies prepared by B10SEC arrive at audits with organised documentation, gaps addressed and an aligned team, which translates into fewer findings and greater auditor confidence.
Fewer findings. More confidence. Certification with fewer surprises.
