ISO/IEC 27001

Why ISO 27001 matters

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the global standard for building, operating, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). It covers governance, risk, supplier oversight, incident response, and assurance so customers know your promises aren’t just policy statements.

Unlock enterprise and government deals that mandate formal certification.
Give execs, sales, and auditors a single story about risk, controls, and assurance.
Align policies, assets, suppliers, and evidence under one operating model.

Launch roadmap

Six-month ISO 27001 journey

Months 1–2 · Context & Scope

Kick-off, risk framing, and boundary decisions set the tone for the entire ISMS.

Stakeholder workshops to define business objectives, regulatory obligations, and appetite for risk.
Scope, asset inventory, supplier mapping, and SoA decisions with rationale captured in your ISMS workspace.
Initial gap analysis against ISO 27001:2022 clauses with remediation priorities mapped to owners.

Months 3–4 · Implementation & Evidence

Controls, docs, and evidence trails get built in parallel so nothing slips.

Policy, procedure, and runbook creation tailored to your real collaboration, identity, and infrastructure stacks.
Control owners receive playbooks, templates, and hands-on working sessions to keep remediation moving.
Guided evidence capture with checklists and naming conventions so your team keeps a living library mapped to Annex A.

Month 5 · Internal Assurance

Internal audit, management review, and corrective actions close the feedback loop.

Internal audit scoped around high-risk clauses and automation-heavy controls.
Corrective action plans tracked with owners, due dates, and proof of completion.
Management review pack prepared for execs with KPIs, open risks, and resource asks.

Month 6 · Stage 1 & Stage 2 audits

Audit logistics, assessor briefings, and post-audit comms keep everyone calm.

Stage 1 readiness interviews, document packages, and evidence routing.
Stage 2 audit support, assessor liaison, and remediation tracking through closure.
Post-audit summaries and talking points for leadership so the certification message stays consistent.

Certification achieved

Stage 2 signed off, certificate in hand, and stakeholders briefed on how to keep the ISMS humming.

Ongoing support

Continuous improvement playbooks, quarterly check-ins, and evidence refresh guides keep certification maintenance calm.

We keep the six-month roadmap moving through regular checkpoints: benchmark, implement, assure, hand over. Each block includes alignment calls, an updated risk register, and an annotated evidence catalogue so execs, engineers, and auditors can see momentum.

Kick-off discovery to confirm scope, assets, and stakeholders.
Risk assessment + Statement of Applicability decisions captured with rationale.
Control playbooks, documentation coaching, and evidence reviews.
Internal audit prep, management review packs, and assessor liaison.

We remove the common blockers that stall ISO programs: unclear ownership, scattered evidence, and leaders who can’t articulate posture. Every fortnight you see KPIs, open risks, and customer-ready talking points so sales, execs, and auditors all hear the same story. Proof packets and risk register updates are yours to reuse across procurement, renewals, and board meetings.

Templates for policies, procedures, risk registers, and evidence requests live in your workspace. We coach owners on what good evidence looks like, integrate with ticketing/automation tools when needed, and leave you with weekly and quarterly rituals so certification maintenance becomes muscle memory.

ISO 27001 FAQs

How long does an ISO 27001 program take?

Most SMB and MSP programs run over six months so we can cover context, implementation, internal audit, and certification prep. We can compress or stretch that cadence depending on customer or investor timelines.

Do you liaise with certification bodies?

Yes. We help you select a certification body, prepare the Stage 1 & 2 agendas, and stay on your side of the table during interviews so findings and remediation steps are clear.

Can you work with our MSP or internal platform team?

Absolutely. We routinely coordinate MSPs, engineering leads, and risk owners so policies and controls reflect how your tech stack actually operates.
