ISO 27001 readiness support

An information security system that works, and stands up to the audit.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 readiness: risk assessment, controls, policies and an internal audit before certification.

Why teams call us

Problems this solves

  • 01

    A tender requires ISO 27001

    Government, enterprise and international buyers often list certification as a requirement.

  • 02

    The 2013 version is being retired

    Certificates against ISO/IEC 27001:2013 must transition to the 2022 version.

  • 03

    Policies nobody follows

    Documents written for an audit and then forgotten.

  • 04

    No clear view of information risk

    Without a risk assessment, security spending is guesswork.

Our approach

ISO/IEC 27001 specifies requirements for an information security management system (ISMS): how you assess information risk, choose controls, run them and keep improving. The 2022 version groups its reference controls in Annex A into 93 controls across four themes: organisational, people, physical and technological.

Certification is granted by an accredited certification body, not by us. We help you build an ISMS that fits the size of your organisation, run a proper risk assessment, implement the controls you need, and carry out an internal audit and management review so you go into certification ready.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Ask us

Do you certify us?
No. Certification is issued by an accredited certification body. We prepare you and support you during the certification audit.
We are certified to the 2013 version. What now?
Certificates to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 must transition to the 2022 version. We assess the changes, mainly in Annex A, and update your ISMS.
Is ISO 27001 enough for DPDP compliance?
No. An ISMS supports good security practice, which helps, but the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 has its own obligations, such as notice, consent and data principal rights.
