Frequently asked questions
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management. It provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). Certification demonstrates to clients, partners and regulators that your organisation manages information security risks systematically and to an independently verified standard. It is increasingly required by enterprise clients, public sector procurement frameworks and regulated industries as a condition of doing business.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your organisation, your current security posture and the level of consultancy support you have in place. For organisations that need to move quickly, our ISO 27001 FastTrack programme is designed to achieve certification in six months for a fixed fee. For more complex organisations or those building a broader compliance programme, our consultants will agree a realistic timeline at the outset and work to it.
ISO 27001 consultancy covers the full implementation journey, from an initial gap analysis to identify where your organisation stands against the standard’s requirements, through to ISMS design and documentation, internal audit preparation, and support through the certification audit itself. Our consultants work with your team throughout, using a proven nine-step methodology that has been refined across more than 20,000 projects worldwide.
An ISO 27001 gap analysis is a structured assessment of your organisation’s current information security practices against the requirements of the standard. It identifies what is already in place, where gaps exist and what actions need to be taken to achieve compliance. It is usually the right starting point for organisations that are new to ISO 27001 or have not yet assessed their readiness for certification.
An ISMS, or information security management system, is the set of policies, procedures, processes and controls that an organisation uses to manage information security risks. ISO 27001 defines the requirements for establishing and maintaining an effective ISMS. Certification confirms that your ISMS has been independently assessed and meets those requirements.
ISO 27001 audit preparation involves reviewing your ISMS documentation, conducting an internal audit to check that controls are implemented correctly, addressing any non-conformities identified and ensuring your team understands what to expect during the certification audit. Many organisations underestimate the preparation required, particularly around documentation and evidence gathering. Our consultants work through this process with you systematically so there are no surprises when your auditor arrives.
Yes. ISO 27001 is a scalable standard and can be implemented by organisations of any size. For smaller organisations, the scope of the ISMS can be defined to reflect the size and complexity of the business, making certification both achievable and proportionate. Our consultants have worked with organisations of all sizes and will tailor the approach to yours.
ISO 27001 FastTrack is our accelerated implementation service, designed to take organisations from initial gap analysis to certification in six months for a fixed fee. It is built around our proven nine-step methodology and includes all the consultancy, documentation support and audit preparation your organisation needs. A certification guarantee is included as standard.
Yes. ISO 27001 certification is valid for three years and subject to annual surveillance audits to confirm the ISMS remains effective. At the end of the three-year cycle, a recertification audit is required. Our consultants can support you through the full certification lifecycle, from initial implementation through to recertification.
