How we help

We specialise in the pressure, not the industry.

Kellwick clients rarely share an industry. What they share is that an external requirement has raised the standard they must meet. When an audit, regulator, customer or contract moves the bar, we turn that requirement into a clear scope, working controls, defensible evidence and continuous governance.

When organisations call us

Six situations that raise the bar.

You do not need to fit an industry to work with us. You need one of these to be true.

Certification

A customer, tender or growth plan now requires ISO 27001 or another assurance standard.

Regulation

A regulatory obligation such as DORA or NIS2 has become an operating requirement.

Customer pressure

Enterprise procurement or a security review is asking questions your current evidence cannot answer cleanly.

Contract / supply chain

A contract or supply-chain position introduces CMMC, NIST SP 800-171 or other security obligations.

New technology / risk

AI, new products, suppliers or data use create governance requirements your existing system does not cover.

Leadership gap

Security and GRC need senior ownership, but a full-time CISO is not the right answer.

One plan, every framework

Assess. Fix. Prove. Operate.

The same four steps carry every engagement, whether it starts with ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, SOC 2, CMMC or a vCISO retainer.

Assess

Understand scope, obligations, current controls, evidence and gaps - so you know exactly where you stand before someone else asks.

Fix

Prioritise remediation, assign ownership and implement what is missing, without letting compliance paralyse delivery.

Prove

Build the evidence trail, test readiness and prepare for external scrutiny - so the audit or regulator finds what you already know.

Operate

Keep controls, risks, suppliers, metrics and governance current through ongoing support or a vCISO retainer.

What ready looks like

Ownership, controls, evidence, readiness.

Clear ownership

Every control, risk and supplier has a named owner. Nothing lives only in someone's head.

Working controls

Policies become controls that actually run in product, engineering and operations - not documents nobody follows.

Current evidence

The proof an auditor, regulator or buyer asks for is mapped, current and where you expect it.

Continuous readiness

Readiness becomes an operating discipline you keep, not a fire drill you repeat before every deadline.

Fit

Where security and compliance have become business requirements.

We work best with a specific situation, not a specific sector. Being clear about it saves everyone time.

Best fit

You need certification, regulatory readiness or stronger customer assurance
A customer, tender, regulator or contract has created a real deadline
You handle information or systems that require structured security governance
You need to turn policies into controls, and controls into evidence
You need senior security/GRC ownership without building a large internal function
You want readiness to become an operating discipline rather than a recurring project

Not a fit

You only want generic policy templates
You are looking for a certification body rather than readiness advisory
You expect a guaranteed certification or regulatory outcome
Nobody inside the organisation will own the controls after implementation
You want a checkbox exercise with no operational change

When the bar moves, know where you stand.

Whatever raised it - an audit, a regulator, a customer or a contract - start with a clear read of your gaps, priorities and evidence.
