About us
Almenara was born from preparing audits and seeing what goes wrong in them
That is why the platform does what the reviewer asks for: every piece of evidence with its author, date and version, and a warning before anything expires.
Where it comes from
- 01
In the audits
Preparing a security audit was always the same: weeks gathering evidence from folders, emails and spreadsheets, and never being sure which version was the right one.
- 02
What goes wrong
It is not the team that fails, it is the method. A supplier’s certificate expires and nobody notices; the continuity plan sits in a document nobody has tested; the same evidence is uploaded three times, once per standard.
- 03
What Almenara does
It stores each piece of evidence once, matches it against every standard that requires it and warns you about what needs attention. And a team does, with a fixed scope, the work you have no time for.
The name
Why Almenara
An almenara was the fire lit on top of a watchtower to warn that something was coming, with time to get ready. That is what the platform does: the amber dot of the brand marks what needs attention, whether it is a supplier nobody has reviewed, evidence about to expire or a process without a plan.

LinkedIn profileHow we work
Independence
We do not issue certifications and we do not internally audit what we implement or manage.
Fixed scope, in writing
Every service has its scope, deliverable and timeline agreed before we start. If something changes, we discuss it before doing it.
The work stays with you
What we do stays in your module of the platform or in a report that belongs to you. We leave it ready for you to review and sign off.
