What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

 IRM's Virtual CISO Services. Victoria is nothing short of a miracle worker. When our company was presented with a transformative business opportunity - a major contract that required ISO27001 certification - we found ourselves facing a critical challenge. The timeline was demanding, and we did not have capacity in internal resources to build and run the project to meet the stringent requirements of ISO27001. 

Victoria immediately demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of both our business objectives and the complexities of ISO27001 certification. Their expertise was evident in developing and executing a strategic roadmap that aligned with ISO27001 requirements while maintaining operational efficiency. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something IRM Consulting & Advisory could have done differently?
