Outsource the day-to-day running of your compliance programme.
A subscription model where MAST runs your compliance programme end-to-end — control monitoring, evidence collection, internal audits, regulator submissions and certification renewals across ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CBUAE, SAMA, NCA, ADHICS and other applicable frameworks.
Experienced governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) leader with over 15 years of industry expertise. He heads deep-dive regulatory compliance, data privacy, and AI governance implementations at MAST Consulting.
Context, scope, delivery and impact — written for buyers, boards, auditors and search engines alike.
Compliance is not a project; it is an operating capability.
Coverage includes continuous control monitoring, automated and manual evidence collection, monthly control testing, quarterly internal audits, annual external audit support (ISO 27001 surveillance and recertification, SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS re-validation, ADHICS, NCA, SAMA, CBUAE filings), policy and procedure maintenance, awareness training delivery, vendor and third-party risk reviews, regulator and certification body liaison, and quarterly board attestation packs.
Subscription model with a named programme manager, lead auditors, technical SMEs and an evidence engineer.
Predictable monthly fee replaces lumpy project spend, certifications and audits pass first-time year after year, and the internal team is freed from manual evidence collection.
A visual breakdown of how the engagement runs, what evidence we leave behind, and the business outcomes you can defend at the board.
Map all in-scope frameworks, controls and current evidence.
Remediate open gaps and standardise evidence formats.
Monthly control testing, audit cycles and regulator filings.
Quarterly reviews, framework additions and tooling automation.
What a sustainable, multi-framework compliance-as-a-service engagement looks like — what your auditors and regulators experience month after month.
All in-scope frameworks, controls, audits and renewal dates owned in one place.
Automated where the tooling allows; manual cadences documented and tracked.
Sampled control tests with results, exceptions and remediation logged.
Board, regulator and customer-ready compliance pack issued every quarter.
Annual internal audit plan covering every framework in scope.
Year-round audit calendar avoiding pre-audit sprints.
CBUAE / SAMA / NCA / ADHICS / OCR filings prepared and submitted on schedule.
Joint review with the retained team — scope, risk and tooling re-baselined.
Replaces project-based spikes with a flat operating cost.
One team owning ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CBUAE, SAMA and ADHICS in parallel.
Evidence and controls always in a state that would pass tomorrow's audit.
Avoid building and retaining a multi-discipline GRC team in-house.
Plug new standards (ISO 42001, DORA, HITRUST) into the existing programme.
Quarterly attestation removes 'where do we stand?' questions.
An implementation project ends at certification. The managed service keeps the ISMS operating, audited and re-certified year after year — covering every framework in scope.
Yes. The service is designed for organisations holding three or more concurrent obligations — typically ISO 27001, SOC 2 and a regional regulator.
Most managed-compliance clients have 50 to 1,500 employees and 2 to 6 active frameworks. We deliver fixed-fee monthly retainers scaled to that surface area.
No — we operate as an embedded function with named counterparts in your team. Knowledge, evidence and tooling stay with you; we provide the discipline and specialist capacity.
12-month initial term to absorb the stabilisation phase, then monthly rolling. We have never lost a managed-compliance client at renewal.
We schedule, prepare, evidence and host every internal and external audit. Stage 1, Stage 2, surveillance, SOC 2 Type II observation and regulator submissions are part of the standard service.
Yes — new frameworks are added through a change request. Typical timeline: 8 to 14 weeks from request to readiness for the new scheme.
We work on your existing GRC stack (Vanta, Drata, Archer, ServiceNow, AuditBoard) or operate without one for small surfaces. Tooling licences are passed through at cost.
Most clients combine this engagement with one or more of the services below — a natural next step once foundations are in place.
