I really value the expertise of Cognisys's people, specifically their guidance through our ISO 27,001 certification process. Their availability through Slack and responsiveness to any requests on our side have been incredibly beneficial. The consultants are true experts in dealing with certification processes, which was really helpful for addressing issues and conducting our mandatory management review meetings and other assessments. I'm also encouraged by their ability to guide us through ongoing and future certifications like SOC 2 or GDPR compliance. This expertise makes me consider expanding our partnership with them.
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.
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.
