Compliance & Governance
Your Compliance Partner
Compliance isn't a destination — it's a programme. We help organisations build cybersecurity governance frameworks that satisfy regulators and auditors while genuinely improving security posture. No checkbox exercises. No shelfware policies.
The regulatory landscape is shifting
NIS2 has expanded the scope of who must comply. DORA has set new standards for financial sector resilience. ISO 27001:2022 has been updated. And management is now personally accountable for cybersecurity governance.
Most organisations don't need more documentation — they need someone who can translate regulatory requirements into practical, implementable security controls.
NIS2 Directive
Expanded scope covering essential and important entities — incident reporting, supply chain security, management liability, and cross-border obligations
ISO 27001:2022
The gold standard for information security management — ISMS design, risk assessment, control implementation, and certification readiness
DORA
Digital Operational Resilience Act for financial entities — ICT risk management, incident reporting, third-party oversight, and resilience testing
GDPR & Data Protection
Technical and organisational measures, data protection impact assessments, and alignment with cybersecurity controls
IEC 62443
Industrial automation and control systems security — increasingly required in procurement for OT environments
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover — practical framework for structuring security programmes regardless of regulatory requirements
Compliance Readiness Programme
Our flagship compliance engagement — a structured programme that takes you from gap analysis through to audit readiness, with practical controls that work in your environment.
1. Gap Analysis & Maturity Assessment
We assess your current security posture against your target framework (NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, or combined) — mapping existing controls, identifying gaps, and scoring maturity across domains. The output is a clear, prioritised roadmap.
- Current-state assessment against target framework(s)
- Control mapping and gap identification
- Maturity scoring with prioritised remediation roadmap
2. Policy & Control Implementation
We develop the policies, procedures, and technical controls your organisation needs — not generic templates downloaded from the internet, but documents that reflect your actual operations, technology stack, and risk profile. Every policy comes with an implementation guide.
- Security policy suite tailored to your organisation
- Technical control implementation and evidence collection
- Risk assessment methodology and risk register
3. Audit Readiness & Certification Support
We prepare your organisation for external audit or certification — assembling evidence packs, conducting pre-audit reviews, coaching your team on auditor interactions, and supporting you through the certification process.
- Evidence pack assembly and documentation review
- Pre-audit readiness assessment and remediation
- Auditor liaison and certification process support
Ongoing governance services
Compliance isn't a one-time project. We offer recurring services that keep your security programme current, your controls effective, and your organisation audit-ready year-round.
Fractional CISO
Senior security leadership on a retained basis — board and management reporting, risk oversight, vendor assessment, and strategic direction. The expertise of a CISO without the full-time cost.
Compliance Monitoring
Quarterly control testing, policy reviews, regulatory change tracking, and management reporting to maintain continuous compliance rather than annual scrambles.
Incident Response Readiness
Incident response plan development, tabletop exercises, communication templates, and regulatory notification procedures — so you're prepared before an incident, not scrambling during one.
Supply Chain Risk Assessment
Third-party risk assessment programmes, vendor security questionnaires, and ongoing monitoring — a key NIS2 and DORA requirement that most organisations haven't formalised.
Why BlueCyber for compliance
Technical depth behind governance
We're not compliance consultants who write policies and leave. We come from hands-on security architecture — so the controls we design are technically sound and practically implementable.
Multi-framework expertise
NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, IEC 62443, NIST CSF, GDPR — we understand how these overlap and can design a unified compliance programme rather than separate, redundant workstreams.
MSc in Network Security
Academic depth combined with practitioner experience — research-informed approaches to network segmentation, hybrid infrastructure security, and defence-in-depth architectures.
EU-based, EU-focused
We understand European regulatory context natively — NIS2 transposition across member states, DORA's financial sector specifics, and the practical reality of multi-jurisdiction compliance.
Not sure where you stand on NIS2 or ISO 27001?
Start with a free consultation. We'll discuss your regulatory obligations, assess your current posture, and outline what a compliance readiness programme looks like for your organisation.
No pressure. No generic proposals. Just clarity on your next steps.
