Don’t take our word for it…
Our clients often highlight the positive energy we bring to every project, sparking creativity and fostering a can-do attitude.
Our expertise in ISO27001 is foundational, but it’s the years of practical experience we have in building security programmes that WORK, and fit within the culture of the business that sets us apart.
Of course our clients appreciate our dedication to delivering results that truly matter and create a meaningful impact. Leaving them feeling safe and secure in the knowledge that their reputation (and data) are protected.
But above all else, we know they value the genuine care we show, as we prioritise building strong connections and placing people at the heart of everything we do. ‘Human Risk Management’ (HRM) is something you won’t hear a lot of consultants talking about (in a meaningful way), but we understand the positive and negative impacts we humans have on security… and we work to ensure our clients get the best advice, based on the latest research AND technology.
That’s what sets us apart. That’s what we’re all about.
After easily passing ISO 9001 and 14001 audits, I knew ISO 27001 would be a very different challenge and felt out of my depth. Consultants Like Us introduced me to Rebecca Forward, who guided me through the complexity with clarity, reassurance and exceptional expertise.
She simplified the standard, explained requirements in plain language, and delivered results ahead of schedule. Thanks to her 20 years of ISO experience and personable approach, ISO 27001 became far less daunting. Rebecca went above and beyond – I cannot recommend her and the team highly enough.
A true problem-solver and the perfect ally when facing an auditor.

Just a brief note to offer my sincere thanks and congratulations for all the hard work over the past year, and with the ISO27001 auditor over the past week, to safely steer us through to recertification.
This underpins our licence to operate, is no small achievement, it shows our members and other stakeholders unequivocally how seriously we take information security, and from my perspective is an absolute prerequisite for our continued success.
Alastair Gilmartin Smith, COO
Working with Consultants Like Us on our ISO certification has brought real value to our business. It’s strengthened our reputation, reduced risk through a structured approach to data security, and improved our operational efficiency.
Their clear, well-designed method cuts through complexity, helping us stay focused while we get on with running the company. Although regulatory compliance isn’t a major issue for us, the framework still supports continuous improvement. We chose Consultants Like Us on a personal recommendation, and from the outset their authority, knowledge and approachable style confirmed we’d made the right decision.
