The Nightmare
I was CTO of a U.S. health‑services scale‑up facing a brutal binary: win enterprise contracts or close shop. The gatekeepers? ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification.
We did what every founder is told to do—hired a “top‑tier” global consultancy. Four months and six figures later TÜV’s auditors walked out with a single verdict:
- FAIL. Documents referenced the wrong clauses.
- Controls half‑implemented, evidence missing.
- Zero usable roadmap.
Our growth pipeline froze overnight.
The Pivot
That Friday I fired the consultants and told my team:
“We become security experts now—or watch competitors eat our market.”
- 14‑hour sprints rewriting every control from scratch.
- Infrastructure hardened, logs centralised.
- Evidence tracked line‑by‑line in a living register.
The Result
| Timeline | Milestone |
| Day 90 | ISO 27001 : 2022 passed with TÜV—zero major findings |
| Day 120 | SOC 2 Type I cleared by a Big 4 audit team |
| Scope | GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA confirmed in the process |
Enterprise contracts landed. Revenue lifeline restored. No consultants—just a battle‑tested system.
