## How Secure iQube helps

1. **Gap assessment**: We compare what you do today with every requirement and control, then give you a prioritised gap report and a realistic timeline.
2. **Design and documentation**: Scope, policies, procedures, risk methodology and records, written to fit how your teams actually work, not a template binder.
3. **Implementation and training**: We help owners put controls in place, train the people who run them and start collecting evidence.
4. **Internal audit and management review**: An independent internal audit and a structured management review prove the system works before the certification body looks at it.
5. **Certification audit support**: We prepare you for Stage 1 and Stage 2 with your chosen accredited certification body and help close any findings quickly.
6. **Surveillance and continual improvement**: Optional managed support keeps evidence current through annual surveillance audits and the three-year recertification.
