ISO 27001 consultancy FAQs
The cost of the certification process will vary depending on the certification body you choose. The cost of implementing ISO 27001 largely depends on the size of your organisation, how mature your existing information security measures are, and how much support you need to achieve certification.
Our consultants can guide you through every stage of building, improving and maintaining an ISMS, depending on your needs: understanding your risks, implementing the right controls and preparing fully for certification audits. Fixed-price options include a gap analysis, FastTrack™ implementation support, internal audit and an ongoing managed service, alongside tailored bespoke consultancy for larger or more complex organisations.
The amount of time it takes to implement ISO 27001 will depend on the size of your organisation and your existing information security and governance measures. Most small-to-medium enterprises can achieve certification within six months if backed by expert support. Larger organisations often already have a formal information security programme of some kind, and so can generally expect to achieve certification within one year.
Accredited ISO 27001 certification lasts for three years. As your certificate nears expiration, you can undergo a recertification audit to renew your certification for a further three years.
Any organisation that needs to demonstrate effective information security should consider ISO 27001 certification. It is often a requirement for government contracts, and many organisations require ISO 27001 certification before engaging a supplier. Even where certification is not a formal requirement, it sets organisations apart from their competitors, proving that they take information security seriously.
