01Track record
Who runs the review
The people assessing you against a standard have been assessed against it themselves, by an external auditor, more than once. The review is run in-house, by a dedicated security engineer and a part-time senior security consultant.
- ISO 27001Certified security practice, audited by Quay Audit UK
- ISO 9001Certified quality management, audited by Quay Audit UK
- ISTQBCertified QA inside every sprint

02Overview
Pass the security review your buyers run
A security compliance assessment measures a product and the processes around it against the standards someone else is about to check: a buyer's questionnaire, an auditor's scope, a regulator's obligations. It is fixed scope, built for the review in front of you rather than for a certification programme, and it ends in a report you can forward and a ranked remediation roadmap. unicrew works through ISO 27001 practices, the questionnaire domains procurement actually sends, AI application security where your product ships AI features, and GDPR and NIS2 obligations for European operations.
03The answer
Four things a buyer's questionnaire tests
A compliance-automation platform collects evidence for a framework you have already chosen. Your own engineers can do the same work, at the price of the roadmap time it takes. Neither settles whether you are ready for the review in front of you, which is what these four areas test.
- Area 01
Can you evidence your controls?
Access review logs, encryption configuration, audit logs, incident reports, the policy excerpt that matches what your team actually does. Controls you cannot evidence read as controls you do not have.
- Covered by
- A gap review against ISO 27001 practices
- Area 02
Will the questionnaire surprise you?
We work through what procurement actually sends, domain by domain: what buyers call a vendor security review. The frameworks differ more than the questions do.
- Covered by
- Enterprise security-review readiness
- Area 03
Is your AI feature a new attack surface?
Prompt injection, data leakage through a model, and who or what can reach it. Buyers have started asking, and we answer it from products we run ourselves.
- Covered by
- An AI application security review
- Area 04
Where do European obligations actually bite?
GDPR, and NIS2 where your entity is in scope. Mapped to your classification rather than to a generic checklist, including the duties a certificate does not reach.
- Covered by
- A GDPR and NIS2 obligations map
The report is written to be forwarded
It goes straight to the buyer, auditor or board that prompted it, with no translation layer from us in the middle.
04Fit
Sprint now, or fix first?
The sprint is worth booking when the review itself is the blocker. When something else is, the second list says so and names what to do instead.
Book it if
Good fit- An enterprise buyer, an auditor or a security questionnaire is holding up a deal you need to close.
- You are heading into an ISO 27001 certification and want the distance measured before an auditor measures it.
- Your product has just shipped AI features and nobody has looked at them as an attack surface.
- You have European operations and are unsure which NIS2 obligations attach to your entity.
Fix first if
Better elsewhere- You already know what is wrong and need engineers to remediate it. That is cybersecurity consulting, not an assessment.
- The system in question is unstable or unsupported. A review of a moving target ages badly, so Legacy Software Rescue comes first.
- Your question is whether AI belongs in the product at all rather than whether it is safe. That is the AI Readiness Assessment.
- What you need is the test rather than the readiness review. That is penetration testing, a different engagement with a different output.
Companies rarely fail a buyer's security review because something is missing. They fail because they cannot show, in writing, that what is on paper is what they actually do. A policy nobody has read is worth nothing to a reviewer, and a certificate on the wall does not answer a questionnaire. We have been through the audit ourselves, and the hard part was never the technology. It was the evidence.

07Proof
We hold what we review against
The uncomfortable question to put to any security reviewer is what they have been audited against themselves, and by whom. Ours is answered here.
- We have sat on the other side of the tableunicrew is ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, renewed through a multi-stage audit with Quay Audit UK. The controls we ask you to evidence are ones we have had to evidence ourselves, to an auditor who did not take our word for it either. And where the bar is set entirely outside, we build to it: a healthcare platform built to the HIPAA Security Rules, with access control, audit controls, integrity and authentication all evidenced.ISO 27001and ISO 9001:2015, renewed through a multi-stage audit
- On NIS2 we are precise, which is rarer than it should beA certificate carries you a long way into NIS2 and stops short of the end. What it does not reach is specific to your company: registering with your regulator, reporting an incident inside the deadline, and the duties NIS2 puts on management. We tell you which of those attach to your entity and which are already covered.~70-80%of NIS2's basic security requirements very likely met by ISO 27001 (Reed Smith, January 2026)
- AI application security is practice here, not a new service lineunicrew builds and operates Snaplore and Talkmetry, so prompt injection, data leakage and model access are questions we have had to answer for our own products and our own customers' data before yours.2AI products we build, run and sell

09Client voices
Clients whose bar was set by someone else
They’ve been helping us grow our platform together since the beginning, from a couple hundred companies to around 2,000. Artelogic has been front and center in this process.
All four websites have successfully passed internal reviews and are online. The accessibility scores are top-notch, and the user engagement is higher. They’ve delivered on time, been flexible when we needed adjustments, and made the entire collaboration feel smooth and supportive.
We scoped out the workflow for the platform. Using this foundation, Artelogic’s executing our requirements and developing the platform. Artelogic executed flawlessly according to our plan thus far. Their work ethic is impressive.
They implemented a range of website features, including a specific payment processing functionality. They developed everything in PHP. They greatly improved our customer experience. I enjoy the way our platform works now. Working with Artelogic gave me confidence in our technical solutions and allowed me to focus more on business.
Even though Artelogic didn’t have a background in this area, they learned quickly and repurposed technologies they’d used before in order to solve the business problem. I was very impressed with this ability, as most of the people we contacted before implied that they’d need to spend a lot of time of trying to understand our business logic.

10Questions
Questions about the sprint
What gets asked on the scoping call, answered before it.
A security compliance assessment measures a product and the processes around it against the standards someone else is about to check, then says what to fix first.
The sprint covers four:
- ISO 27001 practices, control by control
- the buyer's security review, against the questionnaires procurement actually sends
- AI application security, where the product ships AI features
- GDPR and NIS2 obligations, for European operations
You end with a report written for the person who asked for it, and a remediation roadmap ranked by what unblocks the deal.
Seven areas, whatever framework sits behind the questionnaire:
- security policies and controls
- data protection
- incident response
- access control
- privacy
- third-party and vendor oversight
- business continuity
Each one is answered with an artifact rather than a yes: an access review log, an encryption configuration, an audit log, an incident report, a control diagram.
The fee is fixed to the scope, and both are in writing before we start.
Scope is what moves it: a single product against one buyer's questionnaire is not the same work as a multi-environment estate read against ISO 27001 and NIS2 together. The number comes on the scoping call, once we know which of those we are quoting.
The timeframe is set at scoping, in writing, once we know the product and the standards in scope.
Scope decides it. One product against one buyer's questionnaire is short; several environments against ISO 27001 and NIS2 together is not, and you will know which of those you are before you sign rather than after we have started.
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling.
Roughly 70 to 80 percent of NIS2's basic security requirements are very likely met by an ISO 27001 practice (Reed Smith, January 2026), so the certificate carries you a long way. Entity-specific registration, reporting and governance duties sit outside it.
unicrew maps where your ISO 27001-aligned controls already meet NIS2 against your actual classification, and where they do not. We work the remaining distance with you.
Read-only access to the code, the infrastructure configuration and whatever policy documentation exists, plus the questionnaire or audit letter that prompted the review.
NDA before any access. For the assessments and audits we work from read-only, least-privilege access, agreed with your technical contact before anything starts.
Yes. Where your product ships AI features, the review covers them by default.
We look at prompt injection, at what a model can leak from your data or another tenant's, at who and what can reach the model, and at what gets logged when it is used. unicrew builds and runs its own AI products, so these are questions we have already answered for our own customers' data.
If the AI features are the only thing you need reviewed, we scope the sprint around them alone.
Yes, as a separate engagement, and nothing about the sprint depends on your taking it.
The sprint ends at the assessment and the roadmap. From there our security engineering and delivery teams can execute the remediation, or your own team can work from the same document; cybersecurity consulting is where that work lives. Because we hold ISO 27001:2022 ourselves, the fixes we recommend are ones we have had to implement in our own environment.
A named owner who can arrange access, and a few hours from the people who already know the answers.
- short interviews with whoever runs engineering and operations
- one prioritization call, with the deal owner and the roadmap owner in it
- decision-makers in the room at the readout
Set-wide, our fixed-scope offers ask between four and ten hours of your team's time in total, depending on the offer. The heaviest part is usually finding documentation that already exists somewhere, and we say at scoping which documents actually matter.
11Where to go next
If the review is not what is blocking you
Five other fixed-scope offers, and the four services a finding here usually turns into. Every offer on one page.
If the AI feature itself is the thing under review, start with whether it belongs there at all.
If you want the AI feature proven on your own data before anyone reviews it.
If the platform, not the paperwork, is what will not pass.
If the product a buyer is asking about does not exist yet.
If the system you would have reviewed is already failing in production.
The people who remediate what the sprint finds, and the standing practice behind them.
Test evidence is where a surprising share of control evidence is actually produced.
Logging, access control and environment separation are DevOps work before they are findings.
Shipping AI into a product that has to stay inside the compliance regime it already lives in.
