What you are actually buying

Risk register

Scored register, SME examples (Microsoft 365, edge firewall, accounting), treatment log.

Policy pack

Eight adopt-and-edit policies mapped to ISO 27001:2022 themes, written for a shop that already has IT or an MSP.

Incident response

Contain-and-recover, POPIA s22 decision path, contacts sheet, tabletop (ransomware, mailbox, lost laptop).

Vendors, board, POPIA

Third-party questionnaire, exco one-pager, s19 safeguards checklist — gaps become register rows.

Honest limits

  • Templates only. Filling them in is the work.
  • Not ISO 27001 certification, not a POPIA opinion, not legal advice.
  • Not a vCISO retainer. Plus includes one 30-minute clarifying call; anything after that is a separate engagement.
  • Licence is internal use by the purchasing organisation. Do not resell the pack.
