Practitioners, not slide decks.
We combine standards into one management system so evidence and controls are reused, not duplicated.
Every artefact we produce is mapped to a clause or control and ready for external audit.
Your team runs the system after go-live — we build capability, not dependency.
Trusted by compliance leaders.
"MAST Study rebuilt our ISMS from the ground up and walked us through Stage-2 without a single major non-conformity. Their consultants act like part of the team."
"We used the same evidence library for ISO 27001, 27701 and SOC 2 — that alone paid for the engagement. Practical, standards-fluent people."
"Their AI governance work for ISO/IEC 42001 was ahead of the market. We now have an inventory, impact assessments and a real lifecycle process."
Answers to what clients ask first.
For a mid-size organisation we plan 6–9 months from kick-off to Stage-2. Complex, multi-entity or heavily regulated environments extend this to 9–12 months. We give you a phased plan after the initial gap assessment.
Yes — this is our default. We build a single control library and evidence set that satisfies ISO 27001, 27701, 22301, 9001, 14001, 45001 and 42001 wherever they overlap, so you audit once and demonstrate many.
We run Stage-1 and Stage-2 dry runs, prepare your evidence pack, coach interviewees, act as auditor liaison during the certification audit and close any findings afterwards.
Yes. Fractional CISO/DPO retainers include monthly steering, risk and incident oversight, internal audit programme management and board reporting — typically 2–8 days per month.
All engagements begin under NDA. Evidence stays inside your environment; we work in your tenancies and hand over full ownership at the end of the engagement.
We deliver across the GCC, wider MENA, UK/EU and remotely worldwide. Consultants are bilingual (English/Arabic) and familiar with local regulators including UAE PDPL, KSA PDPL, SAMA, CBUAE and NCA frameworks.
