The Challenge
Accuro Environmentals aim was to achieve ISO 27001 accreditation, a critical step in strengthening their information security posture and unlocking access to new tender opportunities. However, navigating the technical and procedural requirements of the standard posed a significant challenge.
Our Solution
Southern Solutions UK provided dedicated resource and expertise throughout the accreditation journey. We ensured that all required policies were not only created but also implemented and embedded across their IT estate.
Our long-standing relationship with Accuro meant we had a deep understanding of their environment, allowing us to take a tailored and efficient approach. Key technologies included:
- Zoho ManageEngine MDM
- Apple Business Manager
- A robust IT infrastructure that supported the compliance process
Implementation
A dedicated technical resource was assigned to oversee the project from start to finish, ensuring continuity and responsiveness throughout.
During the ISO 27001 audit, our presence—both on-site and on calls—proved invaluable. We were able to respond to auditor queries in real time, clarify technical justifications, and help resolve issues on the spot, often turning potential red flags into green ticks.
We also held a series of focused meetings covering each aspect of the audit, including site-specific reviews, departmental processes, and system-level controls across Microsoft 365, MDM, and ABM.
The Results
Accuro Environmental successfully achieved ISO 27001 certification and has already passed a follow-up surveillance audit.
Beyond the accreditation, the process highlighted and reinforced several key security improvements, including:
- Enhanced spam filtering
- Security awareness training
- Deployment of an Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solution
The feedback from the Accuro team was overwhelmingly positive, with praise for the hands-on support and guidance provided throughout.

Looking Ahead
Southern Solutions continues to support Accuro through regular check-ins and participation in annual audits. Our commitment doesn’t stop when the certificate is issued—we stay involved to ensure standards are maintained and improved over time.
We also continue to introduce new solutions that enhance security and operational efficiency, helping Accuro stay ahead in a competitive and compliance-driven industry.
