What we value most is the team’s availability and their consistent follow-up, which ensures quick responses to our questions. We also appreciate their technical judgment when reviewing our documentation, as well as how clear and actionable their feedback is. The templates they provide give us a solid baseline for drafting policies, and their follow-up review makes it very clear what we need to adjust in order to meet audit requirements.

So far, we haven’t received any significant negative feedback. The workflow built around templates, document reviews, and follow ups has been working as expected and fits our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Cognisys for their professional and helpful team, especially during the internal audit. Their team conducted interviews and reviewed documents with professionalism, which we really valued. The penetration test they conducted was very impressive due to the technical depth and thoroughness, exposing issues even we missed. Ankita, the internal audit leader, did an excellent job managing the internal audit process. Also, the package price that included a 30-day consultation and internal audit was reasonable. Rajveer who did the pentest was also especially good. We found their knowledge of the ISO 27001 process invaluable in helping us attain our certification, a necessary step for our enterprise deals.

Expectation alignment meeting at the beginning would be nice. so that we knew exactly how the process would be and over which days Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cognisys to help me achieve an ISO 27001 certification, and they absolutely streamline our certification process. They knew exactly what aspects of the certification might cause issues and helped us resolve them. It was a very good team engagement and they were very knowledgeable, which eventually led us to achieve certification. I find their expertise very valuable, as they not only understand ISO 27001 but also the typical perspective from the auditor, which is extremely helpful. They were also able to generate some early stage documents that were extremely useful for us to build our portfolio of policies. They're very flexible, easygoing, and knowledgeable, making it a real pleasure working with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the very case of this engagement, if Cognisys had some people speaking French, that would have helped since the certification was to take place in France. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like our experience with Cognisys. They have been very prompt and helpful, especially in figuring out how to best contextualize compliance requirements with our business context. Their expertise is deep, and they demonstrate deep empathy with us and the stage of our journey. We've thrown a ton of questions and clarifications at them, and they've always been prompt, precise, and helpful. Their focus on pointing out every detail that matters and showing how we can use Vanta's features to reduce the burden of compliance substantially is something I truly appreciate. This allows us to stay true to the compliance requirements without becoming overbearing. I also appreciate their deep expertise, healthy respect for compliance, and great empathy for customers.

I found Cognisys's guidance through the ISO 27001 audit journey invaluable. They helped our small team focus on the right tasks at the right times with their knowledge of the Vanta platform. Their group and individual workshops are great, and they do a great job of clearly breaking down audit requirements. I also appreciate how Cognisys tailors their advice to individual business needs and their impressive knowledge of the digital sector. They helped us understand where our organisation is exposed to risk and streamlined our operational efficiency, leading to better documentation and risk mitigation. I also enjoy working with their team; they're a pleasure to collaborate with and have a deep understanding of the subject matter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I would change would be a more individually tailored and clearer timeline. Not all companies are equal in size and resources - and a more individual approach to the various steps and tasks. But I understand that this might not be feasible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Cognisys for their ability to streamline the process and help ensure that our platform meets the stringent certification requirements for ISO 27,001 and SOC 2, providing actual security. They are very good at helping us understand the Vanta platform and ensuring our team works efficiently within its constraints, preparing us well for our ISO 27,001 independent audit. I also like the personal service they provide, which is very helpful as our team navigates security implementation. Additionally, the combination of their personal service, technical awareness, and depth of their team is supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting expectations up front about the level of commitment and complexity of achieving ISO 27001 and SOC2 would be helpful. Once we understood the resources that we would need internally and had committed those resources, they were a good partner to guide us rather than doing the work for us, which is important for ISO 27,001 anyway because, ultimately, it's a standard for your own company's security.

I really appreciate Cognisys for being incredibly supportive, always willing to help us and answer our questions. They prepared all the paperwork and guided us step by step for our ISO 27,001 and SOC 2, which gave us massive value since many clients required those accreditations. The team at Cognisys is great and nice to work with, and the way they present the work is just the best. I find it incredibly useful that Cognisys ensures we are not muddling through confusion, as their expertise provides clarity. Their frequent experience in the field is invaluable, and they've implemented substantial improvements we never had before, like using password keepers and ensuring proper access checks. I'm thoroughly pleased with the partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cognisys delivered outstanding ISO compliance consultancy from start to finish. Enda Maguire was hands-on, proactive, and highly available throughout — from initial gap analysis to audit day. The team drafted and uploaded all required policies to Vanta, prepared comprehensive written meeting summaries after each session, and meticulously tracked every action item. We went from 59% Vanta completion to fully audit-ready in just a few weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little to criticise. There was a last-minute substitution of a consultant on audit day, but it was communicated promptly and handled professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What we liked best about Cognisys was their combination of deep expertise, responsiveness, and practical support. They were very knowledgeable about both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, but just as importantly, they explained everything clearly and guided us through the process in a way that felt structured and manageable.

They were also highly responsive whenever we had questions, and their approach gave us confidence that we were focusing on the right areas. Overall, they made what could have been a stressful and complex process much smoother, more efficient, and easier for the team to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was very little to dislike about working with Cognisys. Our experience was very positive overall. If anything, the process naturally requires internal time and coordination on our side, but Cognisys made that as straightforward as possible through clear guidance, responsiveness, and a very practical approach. Overall, they were professional, supportive, and easy to work with throughout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cognisys to obtain our compliance certifications for SOC 2, ISO, and cyber essentials. I appreciate how Cognisys has enabled us to work with enterprise organizations by meeting these essential compliance requirements. I find the certifications set by Cognisys to be crucial in establishing our organization's security posture, as security, compliance, and trust are foundational for us. The sessions with Cognisys's experts on certifications have been incredibly helpful, especially since I don't have a compliance background. It's been great to get direction and support when steering in the wrong direction. Additionally, I enjoy the engagement with technical experts for certifications and their assistance in utilizing Vanta to its full potential. Furthermore, the strong Slack channel with the Cognisys team makes it really easy to communicate and get quick responses, which I find very effective. Overall, I really enjoy the engagement and have even expanded to using their virtual CISO to continue our partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
