What Our Customers Say
Axipro were instrumental in helping us achieve ISO27001 certification. From start to finish they were proactive, hands-on, and always on top of the details. They made it crystal clear what evidence was required so all we had to do was gather and submit it. Their structured approach meant we completed everything within the six-week timeframe they set. I’d highly recommend Axipro to any organisation looking to streamline and accelerate their compliance journey.

Working with Axipro was one of the best decisions we made on our compliance journey. From day one, they were more than just advisors. Their team guided us through every step of ISO 27001, 42001 and GDPR compliance. They helped us understand exactly what was needed and supported us in producing all the right evidence without slowing down our work. They were responsive, clear and always available when we had questions or blockers. It never felt like we were doing this alone. Axipro made the entire process feel structured and manageable. With their support, we hit our goals on time and felt confident every step of the way.
Pratibha Sharma
Head of Regulatory Compliance
As a starting business pursuing our first-ever audit, we needed a partner who could guide us through the complex ISO 27001 process. Axipro exceeded every expectation. Their structured approach using Notion and Drata made compliance manageable and clear. I would never have been able to gather all the required documentation without the organized folders, detailed examples, and constructive feedback Axipro provided for every evidence article. Their systems transformed an overwhelming process into something we could actually understand and execute.

Every PHP installation that serves web requests has been open to unauthenticated remote code execution since 2004. On October 21, 2026, the PHP project shipped the fix, the NSA told organizations to take unpatchable systems offline, and four European governments pulled their own websites to patch. Your security team is handling the interpreter. This article is for the person who has to explain the response to an auditor. php2shell is a security incident, and it’s also a live test of the vulnerability management, asset inventory, incident response and vendor management controls you attested to in your last audit. Every framework Axipro works with has a specific expectation for what you do in the next 72 hours and what evidence you keep. Below is the mapping, framework by framework: the control reference, what you need to do, and the artifact that satisfies it. What php2shell Is, in One Minute Two flaws in PHP core, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, both rated 9.2 on CVSS v4.0, let an unauthenticated attacker run code on the server. The first is triggered through out-of-memory handling that interrupts PHP while request data is only partially initialized. The second exploits request-owned internal state that survives after its memory has
On October 19, 2026, the AICPA and the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company (AIUC) announced a joint assurance offering that bundles a SOC 2 report with an AIUC-1 certification in one CPA-led engagement. A few CPA firms are already running pilots. The full launch is set for early 2027. If you sell AI agents into enterprises, this one’s about you. SOC 2 is the report your prospects already ask for in procurement. AIUC-1 is the standard that checks whether your agent can be talked into leaking data, inventing a refund policy, or calling an API it was never supposed to touch. Putting both into one engagement, under the AICPA’s attestation standards, changes what audit-ready means for any company whose software acts inside other people’s systems. Here’s what was announced, what AIUC-1 tests, why the AICPA’s name matters more than the certificate itself, and what you should do about it if you’re working on SOC 2 or ISO 42001 right now. What the AICPA and AIUC Announced The offering is a single report from one engagement led by a licensed CPA. It combines two things. The first is a standard SOC 2 examination under the AICPA Attestation Standards, with an opinion on
A HIPAA compliance letter is a signed statement in which an organization confirms how it protects protected health information (PHI). No federal regulation requires a general one, and no government body issues one. Yet it is one of the most requested documents in healthcare procurement, and one of the most common reasons a health tech deal stalls in security review. The confusion starts with the name. “HIPAA compliance letter” covers at least seven different documents, from a vendor attestation sent to a hospital’s procurement team to a breach notice mailed to 40,000 patients. Some are optional business documents. Others, like breach notification letters, carry hard legal deadlines and mandatory content under the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, with civil monetary penalties behind them. This guide covers each type, what to include, how to write one that survives legal and procurement review, five templates you can adapt, and the documentation that has to sit behind the letter for it to mean anything. What Is a HIPAA Compliance Letter? A HIPAA compliance letter is a formal written statement from a covered entity or business associate that describes its compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. It identifies who
EN 18286 is the quality management system (QMS) standard that providers of high-risk AI systems can follow to meet Article 17 of the EU AI Act, and since October 14, 2026, following it carries legal weight. That’s the day the European Commission cited the standard in the Official Journal of the EU, which means an AI provider that conforms to it now benefits from a presumption of conformity with the AI Act’s QMS requirements. It’s the first AI Act harmonized standard to reach that point, and most of the other high-risk obligations depend on the QMS it describes. Below, we walk through what EN 18286:2026 requires and how it’s organized, how it compares with ISO/IEC 42001, and what a realistic plan looks like before high-risk obligations kick in in December 2027. What Is EN 18286? EN 18286:2026, Artificial intelligence – Quality management system for EU AI Act regulatory purposes, is a European Standard that specifies requirements and guidance for defining, implementing and maintaining a quality management system for organizations that provide AI systems. It isn’t tied to any sector, so a hiring platform, a credit-scoring engine and an AI-enabled medical device can all build on it. Background and Development The
Your managed service provider will show up in your SOC 2 audit whether you plan for it or not. The moment an MSP administers your endpoints, identities, backups, or monitoring, those become your controls operated by someone else’s staff, and your auditor will test them as such. Outsourcing the work never outsources the accountability. That makes MSP selection one of the most consequential decisions a company takes before pursuing SOC 2 compliance or ISO 27001 certification. The right provider shortens your audit, hands over evidence on request, and operates controls you would otherwise have to build yourself. The wrong one turns every evidence request into a negotiation and every finding into a finger-pointing exercise. Here’s what to evaluate before you sign. Understanding the MSP’s Role in SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Compliance How MSPs Impact Your Compliance Posture An MSP typically touches more of your control environment than any other vendor. Access provisioning, patching, endpoint protection, backups, log monitoring, incident response: in a typical growth-stage setup, the provider operates most of the controls an auditor will test. In SOC 2 terms, the MSP is a significant vendor or subservice organization whose work directly affects your Trust Services Criteria. Under ISO
Vanta automates about half of a compliance program: evidence collection, control monitoring, integration checks, and policy templates across more than 35 frameworks. The other half, scoping decisions, control implementation, remediation, and auditor coordination, still needs a person who has done it before. So the real decision when you buy Vanta isn’t platform versus spreadsheets. It’s who runs it: your own team, or a provider of managed Vanta implementation services. This comparison covers what each path costs in money and hours, how long each takes, where the audit risk sits, and the specific situations where self-implementation is the better call. The numbers are real ranges, not vendor optimism, because both paths work, just for different companies. And if you’re still weighing whether Vanta is the right platform at all, start with our Vanta review and come back to the delivery question after. What Is Vanta Implementation? Vanta implementation is everything between signing the subscription and walking into an audit with confidence. It covers connecting your stack (AWS, Azure, or GCP, identity providers like Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, MDM tools such as Jamf or Intune, and your HRIS), scoping the right framework, mapping controls to how your business actually operates, adapting
Getting ISO 14001 certified takes most companies four to nine months and follows a fixed sequence: build an environmental management system (EMS), run it, audit it internally, then pass a two-stage certification audit with an accredited certification body. The certificate is valid for three years, with surveillance audits in between. Getting ISO 14001 certified takes most companies four to nine months and follows a fixed sequence: build an environmental management system (EMS), run it, audit it internally, then pass a two-stage certification audit with an accredited certification body. The certificate is valid for three years, with surveillance audits in between. Two things make late 2026 an unusual moment to start. ISO published ISO 14001:2026 on April 15, 2026, replacing the 2015 edition, so companies certifying now should implement against the new version rather than a standard that retires in 2029. And demand keeps climbing: the 2024 ISO Survey reported 676,232 valid ISO 14001 certificates worldwide, and the standard now shows up routinely in RFPs, ESG questionnaires, and supplier onboarding far beyond manufacturing. This guide covers the full path: who can apply, the 14 steps from gap analysis to certificate, how to choose a certification body, realistic timelines and costs, and
