The UK guide to starting a security compliance program

UK startups are juggling a lot these days — from getting their products off the ground to closing critical early deals — all while navigating a downturn. It’s no surprise, then, that security compliance is often lower on the list of company priorities.


Complying with security standards, however, can actually help boost your business. Larger (and more lucrative) clients often only do business with organisations that adhere to certain standards, such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2.


In this guide, you’ll learn when it makes sense to start a security compliance program, how to decide between ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and how compliance automation can accelerate your journey.
