About us
Needling Worldwide is a certification and compliance consultancy. We prepare organizations for the standards their customers and regulators hold them to, and we stay with them through the audit.
Who we are
Certification and compliance consulting for organizations worldwide.
Compliance may be the toughest job out there. The stakes are growing higher all the time, and most teams are carrying it alongside everything else they own. We exist to take that weight — either across an entire certification program, or on the single piece you do not have the resources or the patience to do thoroughly.
We work worldwide, and we are certified as a Woman-Owned Small Business by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Our work covers sixteen frameworks, from ISO 27001 and SOC 2 to NIST 800-171, CMMC, TISAX, HIPAA and FFIEC.
Our specialists have held the roles they now assess. They have run security and compliance functions inside enterprises, several with more than twenty years of audit experience, and they write for senior management and audit committees because that is who they used to report to. Because we sit outside your reporting lines, we say what an assessor will actually find rather than what is comfortable to hear, and we hold the work to the standard the certifying body will apply — then stay present through the audit itself.
Our commitment to quality
A certificate is the receipt. The work is everything that has to be true before one gets issued.
Our specialists are not researchers reading a standard for the first time. They have run security and compliance functions inside enterprises, several with more than twenty years of audit experience, and they write reports for senior management and audit committees because that is who they used to report to.
We are outside your reporting lines, so we can tell you what an assessor will actually find rather than what is comfortable to hear. That independence is the whole value of an internal audit — a finding raised by us is a finding you get to fix before it counts.
An internal audit run properly is a rehearsal. Clients tell us the value was having their team sit through the questions once before the external auditor asked them, so nothing in the certification audit is a surprise.
Audit readiness and defense means we are there on the day. We are present through the certification and compliance audits to help you defend your policies, your scope and your position, so the work you have done is represented properly.
