[Accelerator Programme]
When you need to get your security posture up to speed quickly, ahead of an audit, a funding round, or an IA gap assessment, TechSonar embeds directly into your organisation and does the work. Not a readiness report. Not a list of recommendations. Actual implementation, by senior engineers, at pace.
Programme spotlight
The Accelerator Programme is TechSonar's intensive engagement model, designed for organisations that need to move fast without compromising on the quality or durability of what gets built. Covers pre-audit readiness, IA gap assessment and remediation, compliance ramp-up, and framework alignment. Typically 6–12 weeks, fully embedded, scoped to your specific situation.

When to use it
The Accelerator Programme is not a one-size-fits-all engagement. It is scoped to your specific situation, timeline, and the outcome you need to achieve, whether that is passing an audit, closing IA findings, or getting a compliance programme off the ground.
[01]
Organisations approaching a SOC2 or ISO 27001 audit window with gaps in their security posture. We embed rapidly, assess where you stand, and close the critical gaps before auditors arrive, without disrupting your engineering teams.
[02]
Internal audit has identified security gaps, or you need to get ahead of them before they do. We run a structured gap assessment against your target framework, produce a clear findings register, and then do the remediation work ourselves. Not a report that lands on your desk. Actual closure of the gaps.
[03]
Starting a compliance journey with no existing programme. We build the foundations fast, policies, controls, evidence collection, and technical implementation, so you are audit-ready in weeks, not months.
[04]
Security posture scrutinised ahead of a funding round, M&A process, or enterprise customer onboarding. We get your security story straight, documented, and defensible under examination.
[05]
Following a security incident or near-miss, organisations need to move fast. We assess the blast radius, close the immediate exposure, and implement the controls that prevent recurrence.
[06]
Controls exist but have drifted from framework requirements over time. We map your current state against the framework, identify what has slipped, and bring everything back into alignment, with evidence that satisfies auditors.
IA gap assessments
Internal audit findings do not fix themselves. We run structured gap assessments against your target framework and then do the remediation, so the finding is closed, evidenced, and ready for the next audit cycle. No handoff to an already-stretched internal team.
We map your current controls, policies, and evidence against the specific framework requirements, SOC2, ISO 27001, DORA, NIST CSF, or CIS Controls. Every gap is documented with severity, effort to close, and auditor impact.
A clear register of every finding, categorised, prioritised, and assigned. Not a raw spreadsheet dump. A working document that drives the remediation programme and tracks closure.
We close the gaps ourselves. Technical controls are implemented by our engineers. Process gaps are addressed with policies and procedures that are written, reviewed, and embedded, not templated.
Every remediated control is evidenced in a format auditors expect. We build the audit trail as we go, so when the auditor arrives, the evidence is already organised and defensible.
How it works
Phase 01
We spend the first week understanding your environment, your audit scope, and your current security posture. No lengthy discovery phases, we move fast and focus on what matters.
Phase 02
A clear, prioritised view of what needs to close before audit. Not a 200-item spreadsheet, a focused list of the controls and evidence that will determine your outcome.
Phase 03
Our engineers work inside your team to implement the fixes. Technical controls, policy documentation, evidence collection, tooling configuration, we do the work, not just advise on it.
Phase 04
We stay through the audit window, supporting your team with auditor queries and evidence requests. After the audit, we hand over a programme your team can maintain and build on.
Why TechSonar
Accelerator programmes move fast, but we do not cut corners. Every control we implement is real, not a checkbox exercise that falls apart under auditor scrutiny.
We implement. Our team writes the policies, configures the tooling, and builds the evidence collection, not a slide deck of recommendations for your team to action alone.
The programme we build during the accelerator is designed to sustain. We do not disappear after certification, we build something your organisation can own and operate.
