First ISO 27001 for startups with a customer deadline
When an enterprise customer asks for ISO 27001 before they sign, you need a practical route to a working ISMS — not a folder of templates. Sentinel42 brings the controls, risks, policies, checks and evidence together so your team can build audit readiness without losing sight of the deal.
See the pre-loaded ISMS — clauses, risks, controls, evidence vault and your prioritised next-five — in a live workspace. Book a demo.

What audit-ready means (and doesn’t)
Audit-ready means your ISMS is defined, operating and supported by evidence: scope and responsibilities are clear, risks have been assessed, applicable controls are justified, required reviews have happened and records can be shown to an auditor.
It does not mean certification is guaranteed. An independent certification body makes that decision after its Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. Sentinel42 helps you prepare the system and evidence the auditor will examine; it cannot replace the audit or promise its outcome.
Realistic timeline for a 15–40 person SaaS
A focused team can build the foundations of an audit-ready ISMS in weeks. Reaching the certificate normally takes months because the system must operate long enough to produce evidence, complete an internal audit and management review, address findings, and fit the certification body’s Stage 1 and Stage 2 schedule.

Start with a working ISMS
Sentinel42 starts you with ISO 27001 clauses 4–10 and all 93 Annex A controls pre-loaded and linked to the working parts of the ISMS. You adapt the scope, risks, policies, owners and control decisions to your business rather than building the structure from an empty spreadsheet.
- Clauses 4–10
- All 93 Annex A controls
- Risks, policies and control ownership

Evidence that survives the auditor
Policies alone do not prove that a control operates. Sentinel42’s hash-chained evidence vault records files and supporting evidence with a tamper-evident chain, so later changes are detectable and the evidence trail can be followed. Your team can connect each item to the relevant control instead of reconstructing the story before the audit.
After first cert — 60–80% reuse for SOC 2 / DORA / NIS2
Once the ISO 27001 foundation is operating, much of the same control work and evidence can support another framework. Sentinel42’s mappings can give teams a 60–80% head start on SOC 2, DORA or NIS2, depending on scope and the controls already in place. You work the genuine gaps rather than duplicating the same proof.
