Audited Against the Frameworks Your Customers Ask About
Testriq audits your systems, controls and documentation against GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2 and ISO 27001. You receive a gap analysis for each control in scope, evidence of what already passes, and a prioritised remediation plan for what does not.
A compliance audit establishes whether your controls exist and operate as documented. If you need engineers to actively attempt to break in and prove what an attacker could reach, that is a different engagement — see our penetration testing services.

Why is Cyber Security Testing Crucial for Your Business in 2026?
The digital realm of 2026 presents a complex tapestry of opportunities and pervasive risks. With breach costs continuing to climb and an ever-larger share of sensitive data held in cloud environments, proactive information security measures are non-negotiable.

Our Compliance Audit Methodology

Scoping & Control Mapping
Agreeing which systems, data flows and business units are in scope, then mapping each to the controls your applicable frameworks require.
Evidence Collection
Gathering the policies, configurations, access records and process documentation that show how each control operates in practice.
Control Testing
Testing each control against its requirement to establish whether it exists, is applied consistently, and works the way it is documented.
Gap Analysis & Remediation Plan
Marking every control met, partially met or not met, with a prioritised remediation plan sequenced against your audit or certification date.
Re-Audit & Reporting
Re-checking remediated controls once your team has closed the gaps, and issuing a final audit report your stakeholders can act on.
