Compliance as a Competitive Advantage

For regulated SaaS companies, compliance is not just a cost — it is a market differentiator. Enterprise buyers and NHS procurement teams require ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and robust data processing agreements before signing contracts.

I've delivered ISO 27001 technical implementation at iWantGreatCare, supporting a global SaaS rollout across 22 countries. I understand how to achieve and maintain compliance without slowing down product delivery.

Regulated SaaS companies most commonly work with me as a Fractional CTO or begin with a Technical Audit that includes a security and compliance dimension. Technical Due Diligence for regulated sectors is also available for investors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help us achieve ISO 27001 certification?

Yes. I have delivered ISO 27001 technical implementation in a SaaS environment. I can lead the technical workstream, work with your certification body and ensure your engineering practices meet the standard.

Do you work with NHS suppliers?

Yes. NHS procurement and DSP Toolkit compliance are areas I have direct experience in. I understand the specific requirements and how to build platforms that meet them.

How do you balance compliance with delivery speed?

Compliance and delivery speed are not opposites. Good security architecture and engineering practices improve reliability and confidence, which supports faster, safer delivery. I focus on building these practices into the team culture rather than bolting them on.
