Every enterprise prospect vets you before they buy. In the vendor security review, security questionnaires, a signed DPA and certification evidence decide the deal. We make you provable: ISO 27001 through to certification by an accredited body, and SOC 2 readiness with a coordinated attestation, from one team.
For B2B SaaS providers who want to win enterprise and US deals
In a vendor security review, certifications are not decoration, they are the entry ticket. Without them the deal stalls in procurement.
Before an enterprise customer buys your software, their third-party risk management vets you as a supplier. Procurement sends security questionnaires such as CAIQ or SIG, requires a signed data-processing agreement and asks for certification evidence. A valid ISO 27001 certificate or a current SOC 2 report answers a large share of these questions at once.
Which proof counts depends on the customer market. ISO 27001 is the internationally and EU-expected standard for an information-security management system. SOC 2 is the report most often requested by US and enterprise customers, frequently as Type II over an observation period. Sellers who address both markets often need both in practice.
For cloud-specific questions, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 extend the ISMS with controls for cloud services and the protection of personal data in the cloud. That addresses exactly the points on data residency, tenant separation and sub-processor management that recur in questionnaires.
One team for both frameworks, with clear role allocation: we build, review and coordinate, while certification and attestation come from the bodies licensed for them.
For ISO 27001 we build your information-security management system up to certification readiness: scope and applicability, risk assessment, Statement of Applicability, policies and controls, internal audits and the management review. The certification itself is issued by an accredited certification body, while we consult and guide you through stage 1 and stage 2.
For SOC 2 we deliver the readiness: a gap analysis against the Trust Services Criteria, mapping of your controls to the relevant criteria, build-out of the missing controls and preparation of the evidence collection, so that an observation period for a Type II report is cleanly documented. We then coordinate the attestation with the auditing firm. We do not issue the SOC 2 report ourselves: it is produced by a licensed audit firm (CPA firm). We make you audit-ready and steer the process.
The advantage lies in the shared foundation. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 overlap in many controls. We build the ISMS so that the same policies, risks and evidence carry both frameworks. Added to that is the legal layer from the same house: the data-processing agreement, the sub-processor list and data-protection advice feed directly into the questionnaire answers.
We define the scope, platform, teams and data flows, and clarify whether ISO 27001, SOC 2 or both count for your customer market.
We compare the current state with ISO 27001 requirements and the Trust Services Criteria and map existing controls to both frameworks.
Policies, risk assessment, Statement of Applicability and the missing technical and organisational measures are created, jointly for both standards.
We set up the evidence collection so that a SOC 2 observation period is cleanly documented and ISO evidence is audit-ready at any time.
Before the external check we run internal audits and a management review and close open points, so the external assessment runs smoothly.
The accredited body conducts the ISO audit (stage 1 and 2), the licensed CPA firm produces the SOC 2 report. We support and coordinate both.
For a SaaS provider, security and compliance are a sales argument, not a cost centre. We deliver both frameworks and the legal layer as one mandate.
You do not run two separate projects. We build ISMS controls once so that they carry ISO 27001 and SOC 2 at the same time. That saves effort and avoids contradictory evidence towards your customers.
The data-processing agreement, sub-processor list and data-protection advice under the revised FADP and GDPR come from the same house. So your contractual and your security evidence match, instead of contradicting each other in the questionnaire.
A certificate is not an endpoint. Our fractional CISO maintains the ISMS, runs the surveillance audit and the next SOC 2 period and keeps your evidence current, so the next vendor security review is answered fast.
Your mandate is led by an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor. We know the assessors' expectations and prepare your documentation so that stage 2 and the attestation run without surprises.
We maintain policies, risks, measures and the record of processing in the Swiss Priverion Platform. For a customer or auditor request, the evidence is ready as maintained tooling, not as scattered spreadsheets.
We advise in German, French and English, fitting customers and parent companies in CH, EU, UK and US. Because we do not sell an in-house SOC, our recommendations on controls and providers stay independent.

Our tool: LexCommand
LexCommand is our in-house, citation-backed legal AI for the law of Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the EU. Developed and run sovereignly in Switzerland by Priverion GmbH, the company behind SIDD. We do not just preach data sovereignty and provability, we built them into our own tool, alongside the Priverion Platform.
The AI runs self-hosted on Swiss infrastructure, with no external cloud LLMs. As an independent Swiss company with no foreign parent, we process your documents in an environment we control.
Every legal statement traces back to a retrievable primary source, or it does not appear at all. That makes our recommendations auditable and verifiable, instead of merely sounding plausible.
LexCommand takes over searching, cross-checking and sourcing. That shortens turnaround times and frees our senior advisors for judgement and client dialogue, with no loss of diligence.
We look at data protection, information security and AI security on a shared source base with a framework crosswalk. So you see overlapping obligations in one consolidated picture, instead of three isolated analyses.
For ISO 27001 and SOC 2, concretely: LexCommand maps your Annex A controls onto the Trust Services Criteria so the same policies and evidence carry both frameworks, and works through security questionnaires such as CAIQ or SIG question by question, each answer sourced, exported as annotated Excel.
Temporally deterministic (as of today or any reference date), with jurisdiction isolation (CH/DE/AT/EU) and a citation verifier at the end of every answer.
No. The SOC 2 report is produced by a licensed audit firm, a CPA firm. We deliver the readiness, that is gap analysis, mapping to the Trust Services Criteria and control and evidence build, and we coordinate the attestation with the auditing firm. We make you audit-ready, we do not issue the report ourselves.
No. The certificate is issued by an accredited certification body that conducts the stage 1 and stage 2 audit. SIDD consults and supports you through the build and the audit, the separation between consulting and certification is maintained.
It depends on your customer market. ISO 27001 is expected internationally and in the EU, SOC 2 mainly by US and enterprise customers. Sellers who address both markets often need both. In the baseline we clarify which proof actually blocks your deals and prioritise accordingly.
It depends on the maturity of your ISMS. With a solid starting state, ISO 27001 certification is often achievable within a few months. SOC 2 Type II additionally requires an observation period in which the controls are demonstrably effective. We produce a realistic timeline after the gap analysis.
Both proofs are not a one-off. ISO 27001 requires annual surveillance audits, SOC 2 Type II a recurring observation period. Our fractional CISO keeps the ISMS alive, maintains the evidence and, together with you, answers the ongoing vendor security reviews.
