ISO 27001, ISMS & Information Security Support for UK SMEs

Based in Wiltshire, Caracara Intelligence helps UK SMEs build practical, audit-ready information security frameworks through ISO 27001 implementation, ISMS design, and hands-on security support.

We work with organisations that need credible, audit-ready information security management, but do not have in-house security leadership or dedicated expertise. Our approach is practical, proportionate, and aligned to how your business actually works — without unnecessary complexity, generic documentation, or security theatre.

ISO 27001 certification-ready 7+ years security leadership Microsoft 365 & cloud Clean audit outcomes

Built for your organisation — not generic templates

We design and implement ISMS frameworks from the ground up, tailored to how your organisation actually operates — not recycled templates or documentation that sits unused. Everything is structured to be practical, defensible, and ready for real audit scrutiny.

Typical support includes

  • ISO 27001 readiness assessments and certification support
  • ISMS design, remediation, and continuous improvement
  • Policy, control, and evidence development
  • Audit preparation, evidence coordination, and representation
  • Fractional Information Security Manager support
  • Microsoft 365 and cloud security governance
  • Documentation built from scratch — aligned to your actual operations, not generic templates

Why organisations bring us in

Many SMEs have good intent, but security responsibilities are often spread across IT, operations, and leadership with no single owner. We provide the structure, accountability, and practical support needed to close that gap before it becomes an audit finding, incident, or commercial blocker.

What UK SMEs struggle with

No internal expertise Preparing for ISO 27001 without a dedicated security lead
Undocumented controls Policies and procedures that do not reflect how the organisation actually works
Weak risk management Unclear accountability and no structured risk treatment process
Poorly governed M365 Microsoft 365 environments without security baselines, oversight, or evidence
No clear security owner Responsibilities spread across IT, ops, and leadership with no single owner

What organisations say

Mike brought structure and real ownership to our ISMS. We went into our recertification audit with confidence — clean result, no nonconformities.

OD
Operations Director UK professional services firm

We had documentation in place but it did not reflect how we actually operated. Caracara rebuilt it properly — practical, defensible, and genuinely usable.

CT
Co-founder & CTO UK SaaS company

Having fractional security support meant we did not need to hire full-time, but we still had experienced help throughout Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit activity.
