AI Governance, Information Security & Compliance
Certified, Fixed-Fee, No Nonsense.
Alavanca helps small and mid-sized businesses get certified against the standards that matter — ISO 42001, ISO 27001, ISO 9001 — and stay compliant with GDPR. No bloated agency overhead, no vague scopes, no surprises on price.
About Alavanca
I’m Chris Martin, the person you’ll actually work with if you engage Alavanca — not a name on a letterhead pointing you toward whoever’s free. My background is in information security. I hold a Master’s degree in Risk Management, along with Lead Auditor certifications in both ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. Before consulting, I spent time in military service, where risk isn’t theoretical — it’s operational.

Our Services
Four Ways We Help
Every engagement follows the same three-step path, whichever track you need: a €75 scoping call, a fixed-fee gap analysis, and — if it makes sense — a full certification or implementation project. No hourly billing surprises, no vague scopes.
Information Security
ISO 27001 certification and NIS2 readiness, built by a Lead Auditor who's done this before.
AI Governance
Get ready for ISO 42001 and the EU AI Act — before your customers or regulators ask you to.
Quality Management
ISO 9001 gap analysis and certification support, run properly, without the paperwork theatre.
Data Protection
GDPR compliance programmes that actually hold up — policies, DSAR workflows, and documentation that make sense.

The fastest way to get a real answer is the scoping call — 30 minutes, €75, and you’ll know by the end of it whether a certification makes sense for your business.
