Consultants Like Us Ltd Reviews 15

Working with Gary from Consultants Like Us was an absolute game‑changer for our preparation for our ISO 27001 accreditation. As a non‑technical project manager, I was expecting the process to feel overwhelming, but they made every step clear, accessible, and completely manageable.
Gary is incredibly knowledgeable, but what really stood out was how accessible and practical his support was. He translated complex requirements into simple steps, guided me through each stage with patience and clarity, and kept the whole project moving smoothly. The online sessions were very helpful as was the supporting documentation. Nothing ever felt too much trouble, or question too silly.
Professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in our success. If you’re looking for expert ISO support I’d recommend Consultants Like Us without hesitation.

I've worked with Consultants Like Us with multiple businesses I've ran which had challenges when it came to information / data security. We wanted to do the ISO27001 certification, but had limited knowledge internally. I approached the team 5 years ago, have worked with multiple members of the team, and they make life so much easier, really know what they're talking about and deliver each time.

After many years with our previous consultant, we were ready for a change and needed a fresh perspective on ISO 27001 as we moved to the new version of the standard.

The process had become overwhelming and difficult to manage. As an SME where everyone wears multiple hats, finding dedicated time for ISO had become increasingly challenging and confusing, and we’d reached a critical point where a new approach was essential or we we in serious risk of jeopardising our certification.

From our very first meeting with Gary and Rebecca, everything shifted almost overnight. They achieved something no other consultant had managed before, they made ISO make sense. A light bulb moment for the team!

Two years on, Gary and Rebecca continue to make an extremely complex process clear, manageable, and achievable. Their realistic, honest, and supportive approach has significantly improved engagement across the entire business. Thanks to their guidance, we remain both compliant and genuinely invested in the process. Long may that continue.
Highly recommended.

There are 3rd line of defence consultants, there are geeky subject matter experts, and there’s advisors… by a careful blend of all 3 plus an excellent ability to communicate is what I’ve always received.

ConsultantsLikeUs have supported deploy12 for nearly four years with our ISO 27001 certification and ongoing compliance. ISO 27001 can be complex, but they know exactly what to do to align your business and guide you confidently through your own internal audits, annual external audits and external recertification. They bring a real personal touch, do the thinking for you, and provide the structure, documentation, templates and examples that make the whole process straightforward. Great value at the price point - and of course it’s about far more than passing an audit; it’s about embedding strong cyber security compliance across your business and into how you operate day-to-day. For ISO 27001, we wouldn’t go anywhere else...

We have used Consultants Like Us for a few years now in supporting us with the management of our ISO 27001 ISMS. As true to their commitments, they make sense Data Protection, Info Security and ISO27001 and beyond, ensuring we have transitioned to monitored, controlled and mature ISMS and overall security posture.

Consultants Like Us have been incredibly helpful in supporting multiple companies through the journey towards ISO 27001 cyber accreditation. Their expertise, clear guidance, and structured approach made a complex process far easier to understand and implement. They are professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping organisations succeed. I would confidently recommend them to any business working towards cybersecurity compliance.

We used Consultants Like Us to help us secure ISO27001 certification.

Stuart, Lee, and Gary are excellent. It's fair to say we couldn't have done it without them. ISO27001 is difficult + dry as a bone, but they made the process as painless as possible.

It wasn't 'fun' but I really enjoyed working with them. Certainly, if you're going for ISO it's hard to imagine a better group of people to have on your side.

Don't waste your time looking elsewhere! ConsultantsLikeUs (CLU) are real people with real personalities that are superb at their jobs.
ISO27001 can seem incredibly daunting and overcomplex until you involve CLU.
They explain it in manageable chunks in a language you can understand, digest, and then work on yourself.
To your average Business Owner, Data Protection and Info Security can seem like a foreign language so it's a breath of fresh air when CLU hold your hand and walk you through it.
If you really want to simplify what you would currently deem as too complex, beyond your limitations, and actually get to grips with ISO 27001, Data Protection, and Info Security then get in contact with CLU!
CLU always deliver a first class service on time and on budget. They are trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable, and are able to communicate difficult subjects in a concise and simple way.
I honestly cannot recommend CLU enough.

Gary, Rebecca and the team couldn't be more helpful to our business. They provide brilliant advice and support which is pragmatic and well positioned based on a wealth of experience. They help me (and the other Directors) sleep a lot easier at night. I wish I had met them many years ago.

As a first time business owner, we have to be experts in many different fields (some of which certainly aren't where our skillsets lie!). This is where Gary and the team have been life savers as they have simplified what we need to do and how we need to do it. Gary is also a brilliant story teller and made what could be a boring topic (sorry Gary!) very interesting to learn about.

As we are about to go live with our first client, I feel super confident knowing that with Gary's support we are covering all data protection and security requirements.

Thank you Consultants Like Us, I am really looking forward to working with you as we grow our business!

Consultants like us have been nothing short of amazing. As a founder, Gary has been incredibly helpful in simplifying all things data protection and empowering us to make early business decisions to set us up correctly for the future.

Aside from the actual support, Gary is a wonderful human to know, professional and personable, and I believe every person who is lucky enough to speak with him will feel richer just to have met him.

As a freelance ISO 27001/ISMS specialist, I have been working with CLU for about a year; they are a small but highly qualified team that cover all aspects of cyber security and data protection. I can honestly say that it's been an absolute privilege working with Gary and Lee, who've been very generous in sharing their extensive knowledge and experience which is second to none. If you want help with any aspects of cyber security, particularly ISO 27001, these are the guys to talk to!

Gary and Consultants Like Us are experts who talk plain, simple English - and get the job done. They pointed out not only what we needed to do, but how to do it, what we were already doing well and helped us manage and maintain some really quite challenging processes, which meant we gained accreditation whilst also genuinely reflecting the business and our processes and also helped improve the business and processes.
Gary and team are genuine experts who have an enthusiasm and experience and can translate that into practical, useful and valuable support.

We've been working with Gary @Consultants Like Us to conduct an external review of our Data Protection and Security and help ensure we were ISO27001 ready. Gary has been exceptional supporting us as a team and helping us achieve our ISO accreditation. His knowledge in the subject is exemplary, he's structured and thorough, yet brings a practical and pragmatic approach.
Gary was quick to understand our culture and help review our policies to fit with our team culture. His enthusiasm and excitement for this area of work is infectious. We're looking forward to continuing our work together with Gary a core member of our team.
