Information Governance & Cyber Security Audits
Book Free Consultation ›Formal and informal audits, reviews and gap analysis against key data protection and cyber security standards.
A review of your current compliance with data protection laws and cyber security standards will allow your organisation to identify existing risk areas that may need further action, and demonstrate that you are actively meeting your legal requirements. Our objective is to provide a clear path for your organisation to follow.
The ICO requires all organisations to identify and manage data protection and cyber security risks. These types of reviews deliver on this requirement for most organisations. We have experience in producing gap analysis reports, identifying the current status of organisations across many industries and geographic locations.
About Our Audit and Review Services
Our approach to all variants of review is a hands-on, practical, interview and evidence-based exercise. This method is designed to establish the existing approaches, both informal and formal, within an organisation.
The output is a risk-based remediation task list that allows your organisation to address its risks in a structured manner. The remediation output will include advice and guidance and, where possible, supporting resources such as policy and procedure templates, records of processing, risk registers and other supporting documents.
We can also deliver reviews against more principle-based regulation including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act, tailored to the risks within your organisation to deliver a proportionate approach to ensuring compliance and protecting data subjects.
We utilise a multi-skilled team that includes ISO 27001/2 Lead Auditors, PCI DSS Professionals, Certified Information Systems Auditors, Cyber Essentials Authorities and GDPR Practitioners.
We can produce a remediation plan that can be used for ongoing improvement planning within your organisation. Prices start from £1,990.

Information Governance and Cyber Security Audit FAQs
What types of audit does Evolve North offer?
Evolve North delivers audits, reviews and gap analysis against a wide range of data protection and cyber security standards, including ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NIST, NIS, Cyber Essentials, IASME Cyber Assurance, NHS DSP Toolkit, PECR, ePrivacy Regulations and the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act.
What is the audit approach?
Our audit approach is a hands-on, practical, interview and evidence-based exercise designed to establish the existing approaches, both informal and formal, within your organisation. Rather than just checking documentation, we look at how controls actually operate in practice, and the output is a risk-based remediation task list with advice, guidance and supporting resources tailored to your environment.
What do I receive after the audit?
You will receive a risk-based remediation task list that allows your organisation to address its risks in a structured manner. This includes advice and guidance and, where possible, supporting resources such as policy and procedure templates, records of processing and risk registers, so that you have practical tools to implement the recommendations rather than just a list of findings.
Can you audit against principle-based regulations like UK GDPR?
Yes. Evolve North delivers reviews against principle-based regulation including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act. Our approach is industry-based, tailored to the risks within your organisation, and delivers a proportionate approach to ensuring compliance and protecting data subjects, recognising that principle-based regulation requires judgement rather than tick-box assessment.
How much does an audit cost?
Prices for an Evolve North audit start from £1,990. The overall cost will depend on the scope of the audit, the complexity of your environment, and which standards are being assessed. Audits covering multiple standards or larger organisations with more complex IT estates will require greater effort. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.
Who carries out the audits at Evolve North?
Evolve North uses a multi-skilled team to carry out audits, including ISO 27001/2 Lead Auditors, PCI DSS Professionals, Certified Information Systems Auditors (CISA), Cyber Essentials Authorities and GDPR Practitioners. This breadth of qualifications means we can deliver audits across multiple standards in a single engagement, rather than requiring separate specialists for each framework.
Can you help with cyber insurance due diligence?
Yes. Evolve North can support your organisation with cyber insurance due diligence responses, helping you demonstrate your security posture to insurers. This typically involves reviewing your existing controls against the questionnaire requirements, identifying any gaps that need addressing before submission, and helping you articulate evidence that satisfies insurer expectations and may improve your premium terms.
