Questions

How long until we are certified?

For a typical B2B SaaS company, three to six months from kickoff to certificate. The certification body’s scheduling is often the longest single wait.

Can you guarantee certification?

No one honestly can, because the certification decision belongs to the accredited certification body. What we can do is make sure there are no surprises at Stage 1 or Stage 2.

Why can’t you certify us yourselves?

Accreditation rules require certification bodies to be independent of the consultants who implemented the system. That separation is what makes the certificate meaningful to your customers.

What tools do you work with?

We work in whatever you already use, whether that is a GRC platform such as Vanta or Drata, or your own wiki and ticketing system.
