Security Governance & Compliance
Build the policies, risk framework, and compliance readiness your protocol needs to operate at scale.
Get a quoteA structured engagement to establish your information security governance framework, risk register, policy suite, and compliance mapping — covering ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, DORA, and PCI DSS — so your organisation can meet investor, regulatory, and enterprise customer requirements with documented, auditable evidence.
Technical security controls without governance are unverifiable. Investors, regulators, enterprise customers, and institutional partners increasingly require documented evidence of a formal security programme — not just a penetration test report. Deep Guard's Security Governance and Compliance service builds the governance layer: information security policies, a risk register, an asset and data classification framework, a compliance control mapping, and a maturity baseline using OWASP SAMM. The engagement produces the documentation and evidence artefacts required for ISO 27001 certification readiness, SOC 2 Type II audit preparation, DORA compliance, and GDPR or NDPR regulatory alignment.
Our process, step by step.
Every engagement follows a structured methodology. No steps are skipped. No shortcuts are taken.
Asset and Data Classification
We establish an asset register and data classification framework — inventorying systems, APIs, databases, and third-party integrations, and classifying data by sensitivity to drive appropriate control selection.
Security Policy Framework
We produce a complete information security policy suite: the top-level IS Policy and supporting policies for access control, data classification, incident response, vulnerability management, change management, and third-party risk — formatted for leadership approval and annual review.
Risk Register
We establish a risk register tracking likelihood, impact, current controls, and residual risk — calibrated to your organisation's stated risk tolerance and structured for quarterly review cycles.
Compliance Control Mapping
We map your existing and planned controls to the requirements of your target frameworks — ISO 27001, SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, DORA, GDPR/NDPR, or PCI DSS — identifying gaps and producing a prioritised remediation roadmap.
OWASP SAMM Maturity Assessment
We assess your security programme maturity across Governance, Design, Implementation, Verification, and Operations using OWASP SAMM — establishing a baseline and setting realistic improvement targets.
Governance Handover and Review Calendar
We deliver the full governance package with an annual review calendar, ownership assignments, and a structured improvement roadmap — giving your team the tools to maintain and mature the programme independently.

A live risk register tracking your organisation's security risks, controls, and residual exposure — structured for quarterly board reporting.
Compliance gap report
A mapped view of where your current controls satisfy and where they fall short of your target frameworks — with a prioritised remediation roadmap.
OWASP SAMM baseline and improvement plan
A scored maturity assessment across five security domains with realistic improvement targets and the actions required to reach them.
