“Graham was great to work with throughout both the ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audits. He was always responsive, helpful, and made the whole process feel a lot more manageable for us.
Overall, we were really happy with the service and support we received, and it definitely met our expectations. His guidance played a big part in helping us successfully pass both external audits.”
Patchstack approached AvISO to support the delivery of an ISO 27001 internal audit across its multi-location operations. The aim was to gain independent assurance that its information security management system remained effective, aligned to ISO 27001, and ready for ongoing certification.
Working together, we delivered a risk-based internal audit approach that reflected how Patchstack operates in practice, rather than applying a standard, one-size-fits-all model. The programme combined remote audit activity with targeted validation of key controls, alongside proportionate physical security checks where required.
The focus throughout was to provide clear, practical insight, helping Patchstack maintain compliance while continuing to strengthen and evolve its information security framework.
“It was a pleasure to work with the Patchstack team on this engagement. They were open, engaged and clearly focused on getting meaningful value from the audit, which made for a very positive and collaborative process.
They have a strong understanding of their environment, so discussions around risk and controls were focused and constructive from the outset. That allowed us to take a more tailored approach and ensure the audit reflected how they operate in practice.
Overall, it was a smooth and well-managed engagement, with a good balance of openness and constructive challenge. A really positive example of how an internal audit can support both compliance and continual improvement.”
