• ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management Systems)
• ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management)
• ISO/IEC 27701 (Privacy Information Management)
• POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act)
• FSCA / Prudential Authority (Joint Standard on Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience)
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework
Yes. We assist organisations in preparing for internal audits, certification audits, and regulatory reviews by assessing control maturity, identifying gaps, and supporting remediation. Our focus is on audit readiness and evidence-based assurance.
We provide both. Depending on client needs, we deliver:
• Gap assessments and risk reviews
• Policy and control framework development
• Hands-on implementation support
• Independent assurance and validation
Our services can be advisory, delivery-focused, or a combination of both.

SiSS focuses on practical implementation and regulatory defensibility rather than generic assessments or tool-driven engagements. We work closely with leadership and technical teams to ensure controls operate effectively and align with business realities.
Absolutely. We collaborate with internal IT, security, risk, and compliance teams, as well as external service providers, to strengthen controls without disrupting existing operations.
