WHO WE HELP
Signs you need governance and compliance support
You are likely to benefit from this support if:
Clients or prospects are sending security questionnaires you find difficult to answer
A tender or pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) requires evidence of information security controls
You hold sensitive client data but have little or no documented policy behind how you handle it
You are pursuing ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials and need help getting audit-ready
Your controls work in practice but are not written down, so you cannot show them to anyone who asks
If several of these apply, the gap is usually not your security itself. It is the ability to evidence it.
SELECTING STANDARDS
Which standard is right for you
Not every business needs the same standard, and paying for the wrong one wastes both time and money.
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed baseline suited to most UK organisations, and it is often required for public sector contracts. ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard with a formal certification process, better suited to businesses handling significant volumes of client data or satisfying larger partners.
Some organisations need one. Some need both. The Rybec Group gives you a straightforward answer about which applies to your situation before any money is spent.
How The Rybec Group helps
The Rybec Group supports information security governance and compliance through gap analysis, policy and control design and audit readiness. We review your current controls against the relevant standard, identify where the gaps are, and help you close them before any formal assessment takes place.
Where certification or an external audit is involved, we work alongside your chosen assessor or certification body to keep the process moving. The result is a security position that holds up to scrutiny, whether that scrutiny comes from a client, a contract or an auditor.
