Illustrative scenarios
Each scenario below walks through the gaps that commonly appear, an example remediation approach and the deliverables such an engagement would typically produce. The blockers are ones that appear repeatedly across brokers, SaaS companies and regulated operators.
This is a hypothetical example designed to explain a common compliance challenge and a possible engagement approach. It does not describe a specific Kellwick client, completed project or verified outcome.
A note on these scenarios
These are illustrative scenarios: hypothetical examples built from common ISO 27001 and GRC failure patterns, not accounts of Kellwick clients or completed projects. Company sizes, timelines and counts are assumptions for the example. Certification is always decided by an accredited certification body; we prepare teams for it and never guarantee the outcome.
A Mini Gap Review looks for the kind of blockers these scenarios describe - before they become findings.
Certification is performed by an accredited certification body through Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. Kellwick prepares you for that process; it does not perform it and cannot guarantee its outcome.
Kellwick is an independent consulting and internal audit practice. We are not a certification body and do not issue ISO certificates. Certification decisions are made only by accredited certification bodies.
