A Structured Path to Security Framework & Certification Readiness

Choose one stage, or engage CyberStash end-to-end. Each stage is designed to deliver clear outcomes with minimal disruption.

Stage 1

ISMS / Control Framework Build

We design and implement a practical Information Security Management System (ISMS) aligned to your chosen framework.

Includes:
  • Security policies, standards, and procedures
  • Statement of Applicability (SoA)
  • Risk assessment methodology
  • Control mapping, ownership, and accountability
What this means for you: A clear security foundation aligned to recognised standards.
Stage 2

Certification & Readiness Services

We assess your current state, identify gaps, and build a roadmap to achieve audit readiness and certification success.

Includes:
  • Current-state assessment against your selected framework
  • Gap analysis with maturity scoring
  • Risk register creation or uplift
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap
What this means for you: Clarity on what’s required and a plan to get there.
Stage 3

Audit Preparation & Certification Support

We prepare your teams, evidence, and documentation — and support you through the audit process to reduce surprises.

Includes:
  • Audit preparation and readiness sessions
  • Evidence identification and collation
  • Attendance in auditor interviews
  • Real-time clarification during audit
What this means for you: A smoother audit with fewer delays and rework.
Stage 4

Independent Audit Services

Independent assurance to validate control design and effectiveness before formal certification or customer assurance.

Includes:
  • Independent assessment of control design and effectiveness
  • Evidence sampling and testing
  • Audit-style report with findings and severity
  • Objective, defensible assurance outcomes
What this means for you: Independent confidence that your controls are working.
Stage 5

Ongoing Compliance & Maintenance

Ongoing support to maintain compliance post-certification and stay ready for surveillance audits and recertification.

Includes:
  • Quarterly control health checks and reporting
  • Ongoing risk management and advisory
  • Policy and document updates
  • Surveillance / recertification support
What this means for you: Compliance stays on track — without the annual scramble.

Why Organisations Choose CyberStash for Certification Readiness

Certification should strengthen your security and simplify governance — not create paperwork and fatigue. CyberStash focuses on practical outcomes that reduce risk and help teams operate with confidence.

Outcome-driven

Business-aligned frameworks — not paperwork

We implement frameworks in a way that supports real security outcomes, day-to-day operations, and leadership expectations — without building a compliance program that becomes a burden.

Accountability

Clear ownership across your organisation

Controls succeed when responsibilities are defined. We help establish control owners, evidence expectations, and governance rhythms so security accountability is clear and sustainable.

Audit confidence

Reduced audit risk and stronger readiness

We reduce surprises by validating gaps early, prioritising remediation, and ensuring your evidence is organised and defensible — improving audit outcomes and certification confidence.

Long-term support

Support beyond first certification

Security and compliance evolve. We provide ongoing uplift, health checks, and surveillance support so your program stays current and certification doesn’t become an annual scramble.

Ready to Start Your Certification Journey with Confidence?

Every organisation starts at a different point. Whether you're building your first framework or preparing for surveillance or recertification, CyberStash can help you understand your current position, priorities, and next steps.

What Is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing services help organisations identify exploitable security weaknesses before attackers do. Unlike automated vulnerability scans, professional penetration testing simulates real-world attack techniques to determine how systems, applications, users, and networks could be compromised.

A penetration test goes beyond listing vulnerabilities. It shows how weaknesses can be combined to gain unauthorised access, escalate privileges, or access sensitive data. This provides organisations with a clear understanding of real risk and helps prioritise remediation efforts effectively.


What Is Adversary Simulation?

Adversary simulation, often referred to as red teaming, mimics the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by real threat actors. These engagements test not only technical vulnerabilities but also detection, response, and security operations capability.

By simulating realistic attack paths, adversary simulation helps organisations understand how well their defences perform under pressure and where improvements are needed in monitoring, alerting, and incident response.


How Penetration Testing Differs from Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning identifies known weaknesses using automated tools. Penetration testing services take this further by validating whether vulnerabilities can actually be exploited and what impact that exploitation could have.

While scans generate large lists of potential issues, penetration testing focuses on exploitable paths and business risk. This results in prioritised findings that security teams can act on immediately.


Benefits of Regular Penetration Testing

Regular penetration testing helps organisations identify exploitable security gaps before attackers do, reduce the likelihood of ransomware and data breaches, strengthen security monitoring and detection capabilities, meet compliance and audit expectations, and improve overall cyber resilience.


Who Needs Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing services are valuable for organisations handling sensitive customer or financial data, businesses operating in regulated industries, companies undergoing digital transformation or cloud migration, enterprises seeking assurance before major system changes, and security teams looking to validate defensive effectiveness.


Common Types of Penetration Testing

CyberStash delivers a range of penetration testing services, including web application penetration testing, network penetration testing, cloud penetration testing, mobile application testing, API security testing, social engineering testing, wireless security testing, and red team or adversary simulation exercises.
