Reach ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR readiness with automated evidence collection, tailored policies, auditor coordination and a team doing the work.
London compliance platform plus hands-on team that takes UK and EU startups through ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR readiness to a certified audit.
Kantis gets B2B startups certified without eating weeks of their CTO's time. It pairs a compliance platform with a team that does the readiness work, covering ISO 27001, SOC 2, UK and EU GDPR, the EU AI Act and ISO 42001, and quotes a typical four to eight weeks to certification.
The process starts with a free gap assessment that maps your infrastructure against the 93 ISO 27001 controls. Kantis then writes tailored policies, maps evidence in its platform and coordinates the accredited certification body, which issues the certificate itself. After the audit, continuous monitoring keeps you ready for surveillance audits and renewals.
Key benefits:
- Free gap assessment maps where you stand before any paid step
- Done-for-you readiness with tailored policies and evidence mapping
- Auditor coordination with independent, accredited certification bodies
- Several frameworks from ISO 27001 and SOC 2 to GDPR, EU AI Act and ISO 42001
- Light team load quoted at 15 to 20 hours of total team time
- Continuous monitoring for surveillance audits and renewals
- Recognised audit routes through UKAS and DAkkS accredited bodies and AICPA SOC 2 examinations
Kantis is the trading name of We Make Tech Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with its office on Tottenham Court Road in London, United Kingdom. Its privacy policy says primary infrastructure is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan. The platform runs on Vercel, a US company, and the policy also lists Stripe, PostHog and Cal.com among its providers, so some processing involves US-headquartered vendors.
Ideal for UK and European startups that need a certificate to close enterprise deals and would rather hand the work to a team than buy a platform and do it themselves.
