Build confidence.
Make security part
of how you work.
From your first gap assessment to a functioning information security management system. Practical ISO 27001 consulting for Sydney and Australian businesses that want lasting capability, not just a folder of policies.
Know where you stand.
Build what comes next.
Customer security requirements, tender expectations and growing operational risk can make ISO 27001 a business priority. We help turn that priority into a defined scope, an achievable plan and a system your team can maintain.
Whether you are starting from scratch, improving an existing ISMS or preparing for your next audit, we shape the engagement around your business, your resources and the evidence already in place.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISO’s overview).
Three ways to move forward.
A focused assessment, an implementation programme or ongoing support for an established ISMS.
A clear path.
Not a paperwork exercise.
We connect security decisions to business risk, then help your people embed and operate the agreed approach.
Define the scope
Clarify business context, information assets, obligations, interested parties and ISMS boundaries. Agree leadership sponsorship and responsibilities.
Assess and treat risk
Develop a practical risk-assessment approach, identify and evaluate risks, agree treatment priorities and document control applicability in the Statement of Applicability.
Implement and embed
Develop fit-for-purpose policies and procedures. Work with control owners and IT providers on agreed improvements, awareness and day-to-day evidence collection.
Check and prepare
Review readiness, plan an objective internal audit, prepare management-review inputs and track corrective actions. Support preparation for Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits.
Maintain and improve
Establish review cycles, useful measures, ownership and action tracking. Support changes to the ISMS and preparation for future surveillance or recertification audits.
Designed to support
real decisions.
A good engagement helps your leadership team understand risk, your people know what they own, and your customers see a disciplined approach to information security.
We work alongside your internal team, IT providers and other specialists. Technical remediation, specialist testing, certification-body fees and ongoing support are scoped explicitly rather than assumed.
What to expect.
And what not to assume.
Can we start with an assessment only?
Yes. A focused gap and readiness assessment can give you a clear baseline and prioritised roadmap before you decide how much implementation support you need.
Will you implement the controls for us?
We can provide hands-on ISMS implementation support within the agreed scope. Your organisation retains management accountability, risk decisions and control ownership. Technical changes are agreed with your internal team or service providers.
Do you issue or guarantee certification?
No. Gardoce provides assessment, implementation and readiness support. Certification is performed by an independent certification body, not by ISO itself (ISO’s certification guidance). Certification outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
How do you handle internal-audit independence?
We agree arrangements that protect audit objectivity and impartiality. Where we have designed or implemented the work being assessed, this may require a separate suitably qualified reviewer rather than the same consultant auditing their own work.
How long will the programme take?
Timing depends on your scope, starting maturity, team capacity and the work required to close gaps. We recommend a realistic programme after discovery, with milestones and responsibilities agreed upfront.
Can you help after certification?
Yes. We can support ongoing risk reviews, management reporting, document and evidence maintenance, corrective actions and audit preparation under an agreed advisory arrangement.

Start with your current position, your business drivers and the outcome you need.
