What Is Outsourced IT Compliance Support?
Outsourced IT compliance support means handing over some, or all, of the responsibility for meeting industry regulations and keeping your systems secure to an experienced external provider, like Counterpoint.
Instead of juggling everything in-house, we step in to help make sure your business is following the right security practices, meeting legal and industry standards (like GDPR or Cyber Essentials), and staying protected against risks.
We can manage the full compliance process for you or simply offer advice and guidance when needed. Whether you're looking for a trusted partner to take the weight off your shoulders or just a bit of support along the way, we’re here to help, on your terms.
The Benefits of Outsourcing IT Compliance Support
When it comes to IT compliance, there’s a lot to stay on top of, regulations, security measures, and best practices that change all the time. That’s where we come in. By outsourcing your IT compliance support to Counterpoint, you can take the pressure off your team and feel confident that everything's being handled the right way.

How We Can Support Your IT Compliance
Keeping your business compliant doesn’t have to be complicated. At Counterpoint, we offer a range of flexible services designed to take the stress out of IT compliance.
Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials PLUS
ISO 27001 Support
We guide you through the process of achieving both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials PLUS, government-backed certifications that prove you take cyber security seriously. By implementing five key technical controls, we’ll help protect your business from the most common threats and reduce your risk of attack by up to 80%.
Looking to achieve or maintain ISO 27001 certification? We’ll help you build and maintain your Information Security Management System (ISMS), applying the right mix of policies, processes, and controls to demonstrate your commitment to high-level cyber security. We can support you before, during, and after your audit, whatever stage you’re at.
Policy Creation & Documentation
Need help drafting policies that meet compliance requirements? We’ll work with you to create clear, fit-for-purpose documentation covering areas like data protection, access control, acceptable use, and incident response, tailored to your business and easy for your team to understand.
Vulnerability Management
Staying one step ahead of cyber threats is essential. We run regular internal and external scans across your IT environment to spot known vulnerabilities before they become a problem. Once identified, we’ll provide clear, practical advice on how to fix them, keeping your systems secure and your risk low.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials PLUS?
Both are government-backed certifications. Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment of key technical controls, while Cyber Essentials PLUS includes a hands-on technical audit for extra assurance. We can help you with both. Want to dive deeper? Read our blog post to learn more.
What kind of documentation do we need for ISO 27001 compliance?
ISO 27001 requires clear, well-documented policies and procedures for managing information security. This includes things like risk assessments, access controls, incident response plans, and more. Don’t worry, we’ll help you identify what’s needed and create documentation that’s tailored, clear, and audit-ready.
Is IT compliance only relevant for large organisations?
Not at all. Every business, no matter the size, has a responsibility to protect data and follow the right security standards. In fact, small businesses are often targeted by cyber criminals because they’re seen as easier targets.
