When you need more than a local partner: international reach and certification
Legitec and other consultancies with a single-city base help you with compliance, GDPR, ISO 27001, ENS and NIS2 with local support and defined hours.
When what you need is presence in multiple countries, full FUNDAE management or a partner that coordinates with certification bodies in different markets, you need a partner with international reach and teams in several countries. That is where consultancies like PrivaLex or platforms (Vanta, Drata) come in.
Information security management systems (ISMS) and compliance require documentation, evidence and continuous improvement; a consultancy with international reach can support across territories.
6 criteria for choosing among alternatives to Legitec
1. Do you need international reach or only the Spanish market?
If you operate in multiple countries or plan to certify in different markets, prioritise consultancies with international presence (PrivaLex) or platforms (Vanta, Drata).
2. European regulation (NIS2, DORA, ENS)?
If you must comply with NIS2, DORA or ENS, prioritise partners with specific experience in these frameworks (PrivaLex, consultancies with EU projects).
3. Funded training (FUNDAE) in Spain?
PrivaLex manages FUNDAE in full; if your priority is 100% funded training, confirm what each option includes.
4. Multiple frameworks at once (ISO 27001 + NIS2, SOC 2 + GDPR)?
Choose a multi-framework solution that maps common controls (PrivaLex, Vanta, Drata).
5. Who coordinates with the certification body?
Coordination with the external auditor is usually handled by a consultancy that prepares you end to end.
6. Do you prefer boutique consultancy or self-service platform?
Platforms (Vanta, Drata) offer automation; consultancies (PrivaLex, Legitec) offer direct support. Depending on your team and maturity, one or the other fits.
5 mistakes when choosing only by geographic proximity
1. Assuming one partner covers all markets
If you operate in multiple countries, a partner with local presence in each can reduce friction with certifiers and authorities.
2. Not preparing the team for the audit
Training and awareness are mandatory in ISO 27001 and other frameworks. Audit simulation is usually part of an implementation service.
3. Generic documentation not adapted to your operations
Auditors value documentation adapted to your processes. Generic templates lead to findings and delays.
4. Going to certification audit without prior preparation
Going to certification audit without a prior internal audit often leads to non-conformities. A consultancy carries out that internal audit before the official one.
5. Ignoring FUNDAE management if you train the team
In Spain, mandatory training can be funded; choose a partner that manages FUNDAE if training is part of your plan.
