Tempo Avis 

When Rob first mentioned that Tempo are more collaborative and don't take the same approach as traditional auditors, frankly we were dubious to some extent. We've been audited in the past in the full military / headmaster's-office style, so we walked in braced for the same — clipboard, raised eyebrow and all.

I have to say, from start to finish it was seamless. I'm sure everyone at Tempo sings from the same hymn sheet, but I can't emphasise enough how much we appreciated Monique's approach — she made a molehill out of a mountain.

It was a lot of hard work in a short space of time, and I think we'd have gone a little mad without her steer. So thank you, Monique — sincerely.

We'd have no hesitation in recommending Tempo to anyone; Rob and the team have turned something we used to dread into something genuinely painless—so much so that we’re already considering implementing ISO 42001 to expand on our new ISO 27001 certification, and since Tempo offer audits for it, we'll likely be kicking that off sooner rather than later. We're even (almost) looking forward to the surveillance audit next year - already in the diary.

great team to work with! they made the whole experience seamless and were always on hand to help! highly recommend!

Tempo audits were brilliant from the start. Clear in their comms and delivered everything they said they would!

Had a great experience, Rob and Ibraheem have both helped us quick and very professionally. The audit was fair. We are pleased that we can say we made the audit and our hard work payed off.

Thanks again Rob and Ibraheem!

Achieving ISO27001 was an incredibly important milestone for our business, significantly elevating the reassurance we can provide to our clients in the provision of our services.
We researched long & hard to find an UKAS accredited agency to take us through this journey, and Tempo came very highly recommended, and fitted perfectly with their astute and indepth technology awareness of our sector.
The whole audit process was conducted with great professionalism, and we really appreciated all the guidance and flexibility that Tempo provided in getting us through this journey and securing our certification.

Working with Rob Hall and the team at Tempo Audit was an outstanding experience from start to finish. They combine deep expertise with a highly pragmatic and customer-centric approach - especially valuable for early-stage tech companies navigating ISO 27001 for the first time. Beyond that, they were simply great people to work with throughout the entire process.

We really appreciated the rigour and professionalism our auditor Mykhailo and the Tempo audits team brought to the audit.

Mykhailo also ensured we did everything really efficiently which was key for a seriously time-crunched team like ours.

Achieving our ISO27001 certification with Tempo Audit was a remarkably smooth and efficient experience. They moved quickly to accommodate our critical stakeholder deadlines, but never sacrificed quality for speed. What truly set Tempo apart was their human-centric approach; the audit felt like a collaborative partnership rather than a bureaucratic hurdle. Knowledgeable, pragmatic, and professional—Tempo made a complex process feel manageable, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Tempo were very easy to work with. Getting started was smooth and straightforward. Auditor took the trouble to understand our business, what we do, how we work, etc. making communication during the audit very easy.

The Tempo team moved really fast to help us to meet our timeframes - it's rare to have an audit firm move at the speed of a start up and to be really set up in a seamless way for clients.
We'll be coming back and love Tempo's exceptionally frictionless approach.

We went through ISO 27001 certification with Tempo Audits and found the whole process well-organised and straightforward. Communication throughout was clear and timely. Would recommend.

We had a great experience working with Tempo for our ISO/IEC 27001 certification.

The audit process was well structured, efficient, and adapted to a startup environment, which made a real difference compared to more rigid approaches. The team was thorough but also pragmatic, focusing on what actually matters rather than creating unnecessary overhead.

A special mention to Dan, who conducted the audit in a very constructive way, the process felt collaborative and helped us genuinely improve our setup, not just “tick the box”.

Overall, a very strong experience. Would definitely recommend Tempo to other startups going through ISO 27001.

The Tempo auditor was exceptionally thorough, professional, and collaborative throughout the entire audit process. Their clear guidance and constructive approach helped us demonstrate the maturity of our security practices, ultimately leading to our certification. A truly positive and insightful experience for our whole team.

I recently completed my ISO 27001 audit With Tempo audit and wanted to share what a genuinely positive experience it was from start to finish. The engagement was smooth and well organised.

The auditor I worked with was exceptional, highly professional, diligent, and incredibly thorough, yet still approachable and supportive throughout. Several colleagues mentioned how comfortable they felt during their conversations, which really helped them open up and engage confidently in the process. That balance of rigour and warmth made a noticeable difference to the overall experience.
It was also my first time going through an asynchronous audit, and I was pleasantly surprised by how effective it was. The approach proved efficient and flexible, and the auditor adapted seamlessly to our hybrid ISMS setup. This ensured the whole process ran smoothly on both sides.

Overall, the entire experience was extremely positive. The professionalism, flexibility, and constructive approach throughout the audit were genuinely appreciated, and it left a strong impression.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tempo's service based on the experience I had.

We use Tempo for our ISO27001 auditing and I'm thrilled that we were introduced to them. Right from the first call with Rob I was reassured that we had an audit partner who would balance robust scrutiny with positive engagement. Tempo worked quickly and efficiently alongside us to ensure that our audit requirements were assessed, booked and completed in a such a positive manner.

Audits are, by nature, intrusive, but Tempo ensured that this process dovetailed so smoothly with our ongoing operational activities that the impact was barely noticeable.

I can't speak highly enough about Tempo's organisational efficiency and engaging audit team. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Everything went really, really fast and well. Audit was Professional and IT saved us a lot of time due to the flexibility and fastness

We worked with Tempo Audits for our ISO/IEC 27001 certification and had a very positive experience. The process was clear, structured and pragmatic, with straightforward communication throughout. The audit was thorough without being overly bureaucratic. We achieved certification with zero non-conformities, and the Tempo team were professional and easy to work with. We would happily recommend them to other technology companies pursuing ISO 27001.

I really appreciated that the audit was as asynchronous as possible, meaning I could attend other work whilst the audit was ongoing. I also really value that the audit is designed as more of a consulting partnership, meaning that our auditor, Monique, gave advice on how to continuously develop and improve our ISMS beyond the audit
It's also really helpful that they have an understanding about smaller, scaling technology companies, and don't try to fit requirements that are not appropriate or required for a specific company.

Is it weird to say I had a good time?

We worked with a more traditional auditor for a couple of years, but they didn't seem to understand the needs (and technology) of our start-up, so we looked elsewhere.

Susanna and Rob were so much better. They knew how to use our ISMS software from the beginning, so I didn't have to spend most of my day e-mailing documents to the auditor. It was a collaborative process - I was given time to find documents I didn't immediately have to hand, and worked with the auditor to ensure we could demonstrate we meet the standard. But most of all, they understood our business and used that understanding to explain and audit the standard in a way that made sense to our start-up.

Thanks again!

Our first audit with Tempo Audits was a very positive experience. They were professional, flexible in accommodating our needs, and the auditor demonstrated strong knowledge and clarity throughout the process. We felt well‑supported from start to finish.
