Compliance

Compliance you can prove

Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, NIS2, PCI DSS, GDPR, NHS DSPT, SOC 2, ISO 27001, cyber insurance and supplier audits - achieved, tested and kept. Every client we have taken through an accreditation has achieved it and retained it.

TESTED
100% success record

Every client we have taken through an accreditation has achieved it - and kept it at every renewal.

We never mark our own homework

We submit ourselves to independent third-party testing. Certification is always issued by an independent body, never by us.

Physical tests, not questionnaires

We prove each control works on your real devices and services. Questionnaire answers can be inaccurate or optimistic; tests cannot.

Free assessment of where you are

We will look at your current position for free and tell you exactly which controls you need - with no obligation.

What sets Total Group apart

Compliance monitored in real time - not checked once a year

Our own intellectual property is how we run compliance: we monitor the major compliance controls in real time using the leading enterprise SaaS tools. That lets us map gaps and bridge controls quickly and accurately while you work towards accreditation - and then keep standards up, and risk down, every day after it.

Controls monitored in real time

We watch the major controls continuously using leading enterprise SaaS security and compliance tools - not once a year with a questionnaire.

Gaps mapped and bridged fast

Live data shows exactly which controls are missing or drifting, so we can map the gaps and bridge them quickly and accurately.

Compliant change management

Every change to your systems follows a compliant change process, so an upgrade or a new starter never quietly breaks a control.

Compliance that improves, not decays

Issues are picked up and fixed as they happen. Your risk goes down over the year instead of creeping up until the next audit.

Annual review“We were compliant a year ago.”
  • Controls drift unnoticed for months
  • Renewal is a fraught cliff edge
  • Evidence is gathered in a rush
  • Risk rises until the next audit
Total Group real-time“We were compliant yesterday.”
  • Every major control watched continuously
  • Accreditation day is a normal day
  • Evidence is always current
  • Issues fixed as they happen, so compliance improves

Annual review is not viable in the current threat landscape. Attackers do not wait twelve months - so neither do we.

How we work

  1. 1Free assessment

    We review your devices, cloud services and processes against your chosen standard and show you where you stand.

  2. 2Close the gaps

    We fix or guide you through every control that would fail, in priority order.

  3. 3Test physically

    We prove each control works - scans, patch checks, malware tests, restores and MFA checks - before anyone else looks.

  4. 4Independent sign-off

    An independent assessor, auditor or certification body confirms it. We never certify our own work.

  5. 5Stay compliant

    We monitor your controls in real time and fix drift as it happens, so renewal is a normal day, not a cliff edge.
