ISO 27001, ISO 42001 & Practical Security Support for UK SMEs
Based in Wiltshire, Caracara Intelligence helps UK SMEs build practical, audit-ready information security and AI governance frameworks through ISO 27001 implementation, ISO 42001-aligned AI management systems, and hands-on security support.
We work with organisations that need credible, audit-ready information security or AI governance, 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 governance that exists only on paper.
Practical security and AI governance — not generic templates
We design and implement ISMS and AI governance frameworks around how your organisation actually operates — not recycled templates or documentation that sits unused. Everything is structured to be practical, defensible, and ready for real operational and audit scrutiny.
Typical support includes
- ISO 27001 readiness assessments and certification support
- ISMS design, remediation, and continuous improvement
- ISO 42001 readiness and AI Management System support
- AI governance, risk assessment, and secure adoption controls
- Policy, control, and evidence development
- Audit preparation, evidence coordination, and representation
- Fractional Information Security and governance support
- Microsoft 365, Copilot, cloud, and AI 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 information security and AI 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, security incident, unmanaged AI risk, or commercial blocker.

What organisations say
Mike brought structure and real ownership to our ISMS. We went into our recertification audit with confidence — clean result, no nonconformities.
We had documentation in place but it did not reflect how we actually operated. Caracara rebuilt it properly — practical, defensible, and genuinely usable.
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.
