BACKGROUND

While their ISMS was in place, gaps in documentation, risk management, and internal audit readiness due to resource constraints in the team posed a risk to successful certification. Additionally, internal resource constraints meant they needed expert support to elevate their auditing team and accelerate compliance efforts. 

OUR WORK

Being the trusted partner

tmc3 was engaged to provide governance, risk, and compliance expertise, ensuring the client’s ISMS aligned with ISO 27001:2013 requirements. Our role included Conducting a gap analysis to assess current compliance status. Enhancing internal audit processes to meet certification standards. Strengthening risk management and control frameworks. Providing targeted training and mentoring to internal teams. Deploying additional audit resources to ensure timely certification readiness. 

THE SOLUTION

To meet NHSCFA’s tight deadline, we implemented a structured and efficient approach: 

  • Comprehensive Review & Gap Closure: We identified key areas for improvement and worked closely with stakeholders to address compliance gaps. 
  • Elevated Internal Audit Capabilities: Our experts enhanced the internal audit framework, ensuring rigorous assessment of controls and policies. 
  • Resource Augmentation: We provided highly skilled auditors to support NHSCFA’s existing team, enabling them to scale efforts effectively. 
  • Targeted Training & Knowledge Transfer: To ensure long-term success, we upskilled NHSCFA's team with best practices for maintaining ISO 27001 compliance. 

DID IT WORK? THE RESULTS

Successfully prepared NHSCFA for ISO 27001:2013 certification within the required timeframe. Strengthened internal audit processes, ensuring future compliance sustainability. Enhanced risk management practices, reducing vulnerabilities and improving governance. Increased NHSCFA’s internal capability by upskilling teams for ongoing compliance management.  

By partnering with tmc3, NHSCFA not only met their certification deadline but also gained a stronger, more resilient ISMS, setting them up for long-term success in information security compliance.
