Operate · The managed service
Certification is not a finish line; it is a state you have to hold. Most teams let evidence drift between audits and then rebuild it in a panic before each one. Managed compliance keeps your control set maintained and your evidence current continuously, so certification readiness is a standing state rather than an annual project, on the Alvor platform or your existing tooling.
Scope agreed in writing before any work. No obligation.
What you are commissioning
The flagship engagement of the Operate track backs this page. It is a standing retainer, sized to you and set out in a service schedule before it starts.
Operate trackStanding, reviewed on your terms
Stay audit-ready all year, without rebuilding the capability yourself.
Best for certified teams who must stay certified.

Deliverables
You hold ISO 27001 or SOC 2 and the surveillance audits keep coming. You do not want to rebuild the evidence from scratch each cycle, but you also cannot let it drift.
Compliance maintenance is a real, ongoing workload your team absorbs on top of everything else, badly, because it is nobody's full-time job. You want it run properly without a hire.
You answer to more than one standard, and keeping each one's evidence current in parallel is more than your team can sustain. You want it maintained as one program.
The method
Controls are maintained on a schedule rather than rediscovered before each audit, so the program stays in a known-good state continuously. The work is steady and planned instead of spiky and reactive.
Evidence accrues and is maintained throughout the year, so when the audit comes the proof already exists. The annual evidence scramble disappears because it was never allowed to build up.
We reassess before each audit cycle, so you go in knowing where you stand rather than hoping. There are no surprises because the gaps were found and closed in advance.
It runs on the Alvor platform or your existing tooling, and the evidence stays portable either way, so you are never locked in. The platform earns the run; it does not trap it.
The shift
Compliance done as a yearly project is expensive, stressful, and risky. Done continuously, it is quietly boring, which is the goal.
Questions
No, by design. We keep you continuously assessor-ready and reassess ahead of each cycle, but the certificate or attestation is issued by an independent body. We maintain the posture; your assessor judges it, which is what keeps the result credible.
No. Managed compliance runs on the platform or on your existing tooling, whichever suits you, and the evidence stays portable either way. The platform carries the operational load where you want it to, but it never locks the program in.
As a standing service, sized to your frameworks and estate and reviewed on your terms, set out in a service schedule before it starts. You are commissioning a maintained state rather than a fixed scope of project work.
You can, cleanly. The control set, the evidence, and the run book are yours and exportable, so the program transfers to your team or another provider whenever you choose. No lock-in is the test of the architecture.
Continuously current evidence, scheduled control upkeep, and audit-cycle support, so certification readiness is a standing state rather than a project you rebuild each year.
