Cybersecurity Compliance & Governance FAQs
Have a question? We’re here to help.
What cybersecurity compliance and governance services does Kernshell provide?
Kernshell provides end-to-end cybersecurity compliance services including ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS implementation, enterprise security governance, risk management frameworks, third-party risk management, GRC platform implementation, and virtual CISO services across regulated industries.
How does Kernshell approach ISO 27001 certification and what does the programme involve?
The ISO 27001 programme includes gap assessment, risk evaluation, ISMS development, control implementation, internal audit, and preparation for external certification audits. We manage the full lifecycle to ensure controls are implemented effectively and audit-ready evidence is maintained throughout.
What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and SOC 2 Type II and which does our organisation need?
SOC 2 Type I evaluates control design at a point in time, while Type II assesses operational effectiveness over a defined period. Most organisations begin with Type I and progress to Type II as their controls mature and sustained compliance becomes required by customers and stakeholders.
How does Kernshell build a compliance programme that covers multiple frameworks without duplicating effort?
We design a unified control framework that maps requirements across multiple standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and NIST. This allows organisations to implement controls once and reuse evidence across frameworks, reducing duplication and improving audit efficiency through a centralised GRC approach.
How does Kernshell approach GDPR compliance for enterprise organisations?
GDPR compliance is implemented as an ongoing operational programme covering data mapping, privacy impact assessments, data subject rights processes, breach response procedures, and third-party data processing controls. This ensures organisations meet regulatory obligations while embedding privacy into day-to-day operations.
How does Kernshell deliver board-level cyber risk reporting and why is it important?
We provide board-level reporting that translates cybersecurity risks into business impact metrics, including risk exposure, compliance status, and trend analysis. This enables leadership teams to make informed governance decisions and meet regulatory expectations for oversight and accountability.
How does Kernshell manage third-party and supply chain risk at enterprise scale?
We manage third-party risk through vendor tiering, structured assessments, continuous monitoring, and contractual security requirements. Vendors are classified based on risk level, ensuring appropriate depth of review and ongoing oversight across the supply chain.
