ISO 27001
The standard that opens doors
ISO 27001 certification signals to clients, partners, and regulators that your organisation takes information security seriously, and backs it up with a documented, auditable system. Our experts know the standard inside out and guide partners of all sizes through it.
01
Gap analysis & risk assessment
We examine your current controls against ISO 27001 requirements, identify where the shortfalls are, and build a clear picture of the work involved before anything begins.
02
ISMS design & implementation
We build an Information Security Management System around how your organisation operates, covering the policies, controls, and processes the standard requires.
03
Risk treatment planning
We help you identify, evaluate, and address information security risks systematically by producing the risk treatment plan that forms a core part of your ISMS documentation.
04
Internal audit & readiness review
Before the formal certification audit, we conduct internal checks to verify alignment with the standard and resolve any outstanding issues, so there are no surprises on the day.
05
Certification audit support
We prepare your team for the external audit by an accredited certification body and remain available throughout, ensuring the process runs without unnecessary delays.
06
Post-certification assurance
ISO 27001 demands ongoing commitment. We provide the periodic reviews, monitoring, and advisory needed to keep your certification current as your business grows.
PSI DSS
Payment card security, done properly
Every business handling payment card data is accountable to PCI DSS. The consequences of falling short go beyond fines. MDRme’s qualified assessors have worked across a range of industries and card data environments, and know how to get you there.
Scoping & gap assessment
Globally recognised and increasingly expected by clients and partners. We guide you through gap analysis, ISMS implementation, and certification audit.
Security policy development
We help shape the security policies and procedures the standard demands, written around how your business operates.
Vulnerability assessment & penetration testing
The EU directive reshaping how payment services operate. We help you meet Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements, navigate XS2A solutions, and stay ahead of regulatory changes.
Employee training & awareness
PCI DSS places obligations on the people handling card data, not just the systems. We run targeted training to ensure your team understands their responsibilities under the standard.
QSA-led validation
Our security assessors conduct the formal PCI DSS assessment and produce your Report on Compliance or Attestation of Compliance documentation.
Ongoing monitoring
The EU directive reshaping how payment services operate. We help you meet Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements, navigate XS2A solutions, and stay ahead of regulatory changes.
PSD2
Open banking, securely navigated
PSD2 introduced Strong Customer Authentication, open banking obligations, and tighter standards for payment service providers across the EU. MDRme helps businesses to understand exactly what applies to them and put the right controls in place to meet it.
PSD2 readiness assessment
We review your payment services against PSD2 obligations and identify the specific requirements that apply to your business model, giving you a clear picture of what needs to change.
SCA implementation
We guide the technical integration of Strong Customer Authentication, ensuring your authentication flows satisfy the directive’s requirements without adding unnecessary disruption for users.
XS2A solutions
We support the build and implementation of access-to-account infrastructure, enabling open banking capabilities while keeping control over who accesses what and when.
Audit, reporting & change monitoring
We conduct PSD2 audits, produce the required reporting, and keep your business informed as the directive and its technical standards continue to develop.
IT Audit
An independent view of your IT landscape
The gaps in your IT controls are rarely obvious from the inside. MDRme’s auditors bring an external perspective to your infrastructure, governance, and data handling. We deliver findings your team can act on straight away.
01
Cybersecurity assessment
A thorough evaluation of your IT controls covering access management, data protection, network architecture, and the areas most likely to come under external pressure.
02
Network & infrastructure review
We examine the design and configuration of your network and systems, identifying weak points and areas where performance and security can be meaningfully improved.
03
Data protection analysis
We look at how sensitive data moves through your organisation – how it’s stored, who can access it, and whether the controls in place are proportionate to the risk.
04
IT governance & findings report
We assess your IT policies and governance structures, then consolidate everything into a prioritized findings report to give your team an actionable picture of what needs to change.
IT Consultancy
Technology in the right direction
Decisions made without clear strategic grounding create complexity rather than resolve it. MDRme works with leadership and technical teams to make sure yours are grounded in where the business is going, not just where it is today.
01
Technology audit
We start by evaluating your current technology – what’s serving the business well, what’s holding it back, and where the opportunities for improvement lie.
02
IT strategy development
We develop your strategy around your specific goals. We connect technology decisions to business outcomes rather than treating them as separate concerns.
03
Digital transformation planning
We guide the planning and sequencing of digital transformation, managing the complexity and keeping the programme aligned to what the business needs to achieve.
04
Cybersecurity advisory
Our specialists review your current defences, identify the areas of exposure, and advise on the controls and architectural decisions that will make the most difference.
06
Ongoing assurance
Our relationship doesn’t stop at sign-off. Annual reviews, monitoring, and advisory support keep your security intact as your business evolves.
05
Cloud integration & optimisation
We advise on cloud migration and infrastructure optimisation to help you move at the right pace, with the right controls in place, and without accumulating avoidable costs or technical debt.
Security testing
Find the gaps before someone else does
MDRme covers major frameworks, from foundational audits to advanced technical consultancy.
01
Scoping & assessment design
We work with your team to define what gets tested, in what depth, and in what order, so the assessment focuses where the real exposure lies.
02
Penetration testing
Our experienced testers simulate genuine attack scenarios across your systems and infrastructure to identify what’s exploitable under real conditions.
03
Vulnerability scanning
We run structured scans across your digital infrastructure to surface known weaknesses. Each finding is paired with a clear recommendation for resolution.
04
Web application testing
We test your web applications against the full range of known attack vectors – authentication flaws, session handling, and access control weaknesses.
05
Mobile application testing
We assess the security of your mobile applications across both iOS and Android, examining data storage, transmission, authentication, and third-party dependencies.
06
Findings report & remediation support
Every engagement closes with a severity-ranked findings report. We stay available as your team works through the results to answer questions and validate fixes.
SOC / Log Management
Constant visibility, rapid response
Most incidents are detectable before they escalate – if someone is watching. MDRme builds and operates SOC environments that give your organisation continuous visibility, structured response, and the intelligence to stay ahead of what’s coming.
24/7 security monitoring
Our SOC team watches your environment around the clock – picking up anomalies, investigating alerts, and acting on genuine threats before they have a chance to escalate.
Log collection & analysis
We aggregate and analyse log data from across your infrastructure, spot patterns and indicators of compromise that automated tools routinely miss.
Threat intelligence integration
We help you identify, evaluate, and address information security risks systematically by producing the risk treatment plan that forms a core part of your ISMS documentation.
Incident response planning
We develop response plans specific to your environment and the incidents most likely to affect it, so when something occurs, the response is fast and structured.
Security awareness training
We run targeted training programmes to raise awareness across your team, covering the behaviours and warning signs that technical controls alone can’t address.
Reporting & governance support
We produce reports on activity, incidents, and overall security standing, supporting internal governance requirements and external regulations.
Tokenization
Sensitive data protected at every point
Sensitive data is only worth stealing if it can be used. Tokenization removes that threat by replacing card numbers and personal identifiers with unique tokens that carry no exploitable value. MDRme implements and manages the full solution.
01
Data mapping & scoping
We trace how sensitive data moves through your systems and identify every point where tokenization should be applied to build a complete picture before implementation begins.
02
Payment & data tokenization
We replace card numbers, personal identifiers, and other sensitive values with unique tokens across both payment flows and broader data environments, while keeping full operational functionality intact.
04
Token vault management
We implement and manage the secure vault where tokenized data is stored, ensuring tokens are accessible to the right systems, and the underlying data remains out of reach.
03
System integration
We integrate tokenization into your existing infrastructure by working within your current architecture, so the change is as smooth as possible for your team and your users.
04
Token vault management
We implement and manage the secure vault where tokenized data is stored, ensuring tokens are accessible to the right systems, and the underlying data remains out of reach.
FAQs
Questions we hear most often
Which certification should my business pursue first?
It depends on your industry, client base, and regulatory obligations. PCI DSS is non-negotiable if you handle payment card data. ISO 27001 is increasingly expected across regulated sectors and larger enterprise supply chains. We help businesses prioritise based on where the most immediate pressure lies.
How long does a typical certification process take?
Timelines vary by standard and the maturity of your existing controls. ISO 27001 typically takes several months from gap analysis to certification. PCI DSS can move faster for organisations with a narrower cardholder data environment. We provide a realistic timeline at the start of every case.
Do you work with businesses that are starting from scratch?
Yes. Whether your organisation has existing security controls in place or is building its programme from the ground up, we adapt our approach to where you are. The gap analysis at the start of every engagement gives us a clear picture of the work involved.
What happens after certification is achieved?
Most standards require annual recertification or continuous compliance monitoring. We provide the ongoing support, reviews, and advisory needed to keep your status intact. We also help you adapt as your business and the regulatory landscape change.
Can MDRme support businesses outside the financial sector?
While we have deep expertise in financial services, payments, and fintech, the standards we work with – ISO 27001, IT Audit, Security Testing – apply across industries. Organisations handling sensitive data or operating in a regulated environment can benefit from our services.
