ISMS Maintenance

Ongoing senior oversight that keeps your certification alive — without hiring a full-time compliance team.

Certification is the start, not the finish. Every year brings a surveillance audit, and an ISMS that drifts out of date quietly puts your certificate at risk. Stenward stays on as your ongoing compliance capability, keeping everything audit-ready so you keep the benefit of a compliance function without carrying one on your payroll.

What ongoing support covers

Surveillance audit preparation and attendance
Internal audit cycles
Finding and nonconformity management
Documentation kept current as you change
Management review cadence
Support with customer security questionnaires
A senior practitioner on call for the security questions that come up as you grow

How it's structured

Your ISMS needs vary over time. Some months you need light-touch oversight; others you need hands-on involvement. We structure ongoing support around your actual needs, scaled to how much support you need:

Light
  • Quarterly check-ins
  • Annual surveillance prep
  • Light finding management
  • For companies that need a steady hand, not constant involvement
Standard
  • Monthly check-ins
  • Full surveillance prep and attendance
  • Internal audit management
  • The right fit for most certified companies
Active
  • Frequent involvement
  • Continuous documentation upkeep
  • Questionnaire support
  • For companies with heavy customer-assurance demands

We'll recommend the right level of support for where you are — and adjust it as you grow.
