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.

I find Cognisys's vCISO service highly valuable. Their knowledge of procedures and certification expectations has been crucial. The vCISO approach is a cost-effective way for us to manage information security without needing an in-house resource. Cognisys guided us through the ISO 27001 certification process by helping us fill knowledge gaps and support policy drafting. Their flexibility matches our style, which I greatly appreciate. They helped us onboard, understand, operationalize, and manage the Vanta platform, which was entirely new to us.

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.
