Build Controls You Can Demonstrate

Symosis helps organizations assess readiness, address control gaps, and prepare evidence for security audits and assurance requirements.

Our practitioners connect policies and documentation to technical implementation, operational ownership, and evidence of control performance.

01

Make Readiness a Sustainable Capability

Audit preparation becomes difficult when control ownership is unclear, evidence is scattered, or documented procedures differ from actual practice.

Symosis helps establish a practical path from requirements to implemented controls and organized evidence.

Problems We Help Solve

  1. 01An upcoming audit has no clear preparation plan.
  2. 02Policies describe controls that are inconsistently implemented.
  3. 03Evidence collection depends on repeated manual requests.
  4. 04Control owners do not understand their responsibilities.
  5. 05Findings remain open without corrective-action tracking.
  6. 06Multiple assurance requirements create overlapping work.
  7. 07Technical configurations have not been reviewed against control expectations.
  8. 08Readiness work loses momentum between audit cycles.

How Symosis Helps

01

Gap & Readiness Assessments

Establish the baseline and identify what needs attention.

  • Define the systems, services, teams, and boundaries in scope
  • Review applicable assessment criteria
  • Evaluate policies, processes, and available evidence
  • Examine relevant technical configurations
  • Identify missing or inconsistently operating controls
  • Prioritize gaps and implementation dependencies

You receive

A readiness assessment, control-gap register, and prioritized action plan.

02

Control Design & Implementation Guidance

Translate requirements into practical safeguards.

  • Define control objectives and accountable owners
  • Develop procedures suited to your environment
  • Identify required configuration and workflow changes
  • Establish evidence requirements and review frequencies
  • Coordinate implementation across relevant teams
  • Define criteria for validating corrective actions

You receive

A control implementation plan, responsibility matrix, and validation requirements.

03

Policies & Management-System Documentation

Create documentation your teams can use and maintain.

  • Develop or update policies and supporting procedures
  • Define risk-assessment and risk-treatment processes
  • Establish exception and approval workflows
  • Document management responsibilities and review activities
  • Align records with the agreed assessment scope
  • Set ownership and maintenance expectations

You receive

Scoped policies, procedures, registers, and management-system documentation.

04

Evidence Preparation & Audit Coordination

Make control evidence organized and traceable.

  • Map controls to relevant evidence sources
  • Establish an evidence register and collection schedule
  • Review evidence for completeness and consistency
  • Identify missing records or unsupported assertions
  • Prepare control owners for assessment discussions
  • Coordinate requests and track outstanding actions

You receive

An evidence register, readiness findings, and an audit-preparation tracker.

05

Internal Audits & Corrective Actions

Evaluate the management system against agreed criteria.

  • Establish audit scope, criteria, and an audit plan
  • Confirm auditor independence and engagement responsibilities
  • Review documentation and sample operational evidence
  • Interview relevant control and process owners
  • Record findings and opportunities for improvement
  • Review corrective-action evidence where included

You receive

An internal audit report, findings register, and corrective-action follow-up results.

03

Focused Engagements

01

ISO 27001 Readiness & Implementation Support

Assess gaps, develop the implementation roadmap, and support the information security management system and its underlying controls.

02

ISO 27001 Internal Audit

Conduct a scoped internal audit with defined criteria, evidence sampling, reporting, and independence arrangements.

03

ISO 42001 Readiness & Internal Audit

Assess the AI management system through a defined readiness or internal audit engagement. Connect governance requirements to AI ownership, risk processes, and operational evidence.

04

SOC 2 Readiness

Review control readiness, organize evidence, and coordinate remediation ahead of the external examination.

The engagement clearly identifies Symosis’s role, deliverables, and responsibilities. External certification and attestation are performed through the appropriate independent assurance providers.

04

Technical Evidence Supports Readiness

Depending on scope, our work examines access configurations, cloud and SaaS settings, change records, incident procedures, vulnerability workflows, and other evidence relevant to the controls.

Where implementation is needed, Symosis can help define a separate engineering workstream. Internal audit independence is addressed when assigning audit responsibilities.

Questions

Do you perform certifications?

No; we prepare you for audits performed by accredited auditors.

What is unified control mapping?

Mapping one set of controls to multiple frameworks so evidence is gathered once.

How long does readiness take?

It depends on starting maturity and scope.
