Compliance & Certification

Compliance and certification across 11 frameworks

ISO 27001, SOC 2, TISAX, NIS2, DORA, BSI C5, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, Cyber Essentials and ISO 27017/27018 — with clear requirements, estimated timelines and cost ranges. One partner to guide you from initial assessment to compliance or certification.

Passeca's compliance practice covers eleven frameworks and the EU regulations that sit behind them. We run a five-step engagement — gap analysis, roadmap, implementation, internal audit, certification-body introduction — on the Hyperproof GRC platform, so evidence is collected once and reused across every framework you pursue.

The engagement

How certification works with Passeca

The same five steps for every framework — what changes is the control set, the auditor, and the timeline. You always know which phase you are in and what happens next.

  1. 01

    Gap analysis

    We measure your current control environment against the target framework and rank every gap by risk. You leave this phase knowing exactly what is missing and what it will take to close it.

  2. 02

    Roadmap

    We turn the gap analysis into a sequenced, costed plan — what to fix first, who owns it, and when it lands. The roadmap is the single document your management team and your auditor both work from.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    We build the missing controls with you — policies, technical configuration, evidence collection — operating inside the Hyperproof GRC platform so nothing is documented twice.

  4. 04

    Internal audit

    Before any external auditor arrives, we run a full internal audit against the same criteria and fix what we find. Most failed certifications fail here first; we make sure that happens in private.

  5. 05

    Certification

    We introduce you to an accredited certification or assessment body, sit through the audit with you, and manage the response to any findings until the certificate is issued.

The frameworks

Which compliance requirements apply to your business?

Explore the requirements your customers, regulators or board expect you to meet. Understand who each standard or regulation applies to, what it involves, how long the process may take and the estimated costs.

The platform

Do the work once. Prove it everywhere — on Hyperproof.

Hyperproof collects evidence automatically from AWS, Azure, Jira and Slack, and maps a single control to 160+ frameworks — so the work you do for ISO 27001 also closes SOC 2, BSI C5 and TISAX evidence. It is how we make multi-framework certification affordable.

FAQ

Compliance and certification, answered

Which compliance frameworks does Passeca cover?
Passeca covers 11 standards, frameworks and regulations: ISO 27001, SOC 2, TISAX, NIS2, DORA, BSI C5, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, Cyber Essentials and ISO 27017/27018. We provide guidance on who they apply to, what they require, expected timelines and estimated costs.
Does Passeca issue the certificate, or prepare us for it?
Passeca prepares you and introduces you to an accredited certification or assessment body — Passeca does not itself issue certificates, because the standard requires independence between consultant and auditor. We manage the engagement end to end and sit through the audit with you.
How long does compliance certification take?
Timelines depend on the standard or regulation, your organisation's size and its current level of compliance readiness. For organisations with 50–200 employees, ISO 27001 certification typically takes 4–8 months, SOC 2 Type I attestation takes 2–4 months, and Cyber Essentials certification takes 1–2 months. Actual timelines vary depending on your existing controls and the work required.
What does compliance certification cost?
Passeca publishes cost bands per framework rather than a single quote. The biggest cost drivers are the number of in-scope sites, headcount, and how much of the control set already exists. The certification-body fee is separate and set by the auditor. See each framework page for bands and drivers.
Can Passeca do more than one framework at once?
Yes — this is where most clients save the most. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 share roughly 80% of their controls, so doing them together is far cheaper than doing them sequentially. We use Hyperproof to map evidence once across multiple frameworks.
What is Hyperproof and why does Passeca use it?
Hyperproof is a GRC and compliance-automation platform that Passeca implements and operates. It collects evidence automatically from AWS, Azure, Jira and Slack and maps it to 160+ frameworks, so you prove a control once and reuse it everywhere.
What is the difference between a regulation and a framework?
A regulation (NIS2, DORA, GDPR, HIPAA) is mandatory law with penalties; a framework (ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials) is a recognised standard you certify against, often to satisfy a regulation or a customer demand. Passeca handles both, and maps frameworks to the regulations they satisfy.
How do I know which framework I need?
Start with our free compliance readiness check — a 10-question tool that flags which frameworks and regulations likely apply to your organisation based on sector, location and data type. You can also book a free compliance consultation.
