Strengthening Information Security
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized framework for establishing, implementing, managing, and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It helps organizations systematically protect sensitive data, manage risks, and demonstrate a commitment to security best practices.
What We Do
Our Lead Implementer Services guide organizations through the successful establishment and maintenance of an ISMS aligned with ISO 27001 requirements. We provide strategic support to ensure compliance, reduce security risks, and achieve certification.
The ISO 27001 Journey
Achieving ISO 27001 certification involves several key phases:
1. Implementation
This phase involves designing and implementing the ISMS based on ISO 27001 standards. Key steps include:
Defining the scope of the ISMS
Conducting a risk assessment and establishing a risk treatment plan
Developing and implementing policies, procedures, and controls
Establishing continuous monitoring and improvement mechanisms
2. Internal Audit
Before undergoing formal certification, an internal audit helps identify gaps and areas for improvement. This step includes:
Evaluating whether policies, processes, and controls are effectively implemented
Identifying nonconformities and corrective actions
Ensuring the ISMS is ready for external certification
3. Certification Audit
The certification audit is conducted by an accredited external auditor and happens in two stages:
Stage 1 – A preliminary review of ISMS documentation and readiness
Stage 2 – A full assessment of ISMS implementation, effectiveness, and compliance with ISO 27001
4. Certification & Ongoing Maintenance
Upon passing the audit, the organization receives ISO 27001 certification, valid for three years, subject to:
Surveillance audits (typically annual) to ensure continued compliance
Continual improvement by addressing evolving security risks and regulatory changes
Why ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 certification enhances data security, regulatory compliance, and customer trust, making it a valuable framework for organizations of all sizes.
