ISO 27001
IT Compliance
ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security management, providing comprehensive guidelines for establishing and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). In today’s digital world, where information security is a critical element of every company’s operations, ISO 27001 certification enables effective risk management and protects sensitive data from leaks or unauthorised access. Regardless of the sector or size of the organisation, obtaining ISO 27001 certification is a significant step towards ensuring a high level of information security.

ISO 27001 certification
The ISO 27001 certification process begins with an initial audit to assess the organisation’s preparedness to meet the standard’s requirements. Upon a successful outcome of this stage, a full certification audit takes place, and if all requirements are met, the certificate is granted, valid for three years. During these three years, the organisation is required to participate in annual surveillance audits. These audits verify whether the information security management system is being effectively maintained and remains compliant with ISO 27001. Regular monitoring ensures that security procedures are up-to-date and remain effective.
An important aspect is the implementation of continuous improvement actions, which allow for ongoing process enhancements through the analysis of audit results and the introduction of necessary corrections. After three years, the organisation must undergo a recertification audit to renew the certificate for another period, ensuring the continuous improvement of information security and fostering trust with customers and business partners.
How can we help you?
If you are striving for ISO 27001 certification and are unsure where to begin, we will guide you through the entire process from start to finish. Firstly, we will assess and define the scope of your certification, conduct a gap analysis, develop an action plan, provide necessary training, and work alongside you to implement required changes. Finally, we will assist in selecting a certifying body and stay with you throughout the certification process until you achieve ISO 27001 certification.
If you already hold ISO 27001 certification but feel that it is not fully aligned with your organisation’s needs, we can take over the maintenance for you. We will review your scope, evaluate how you maintain compliance with the standard, and ensure that you have not implemented solutions that hinder your business. Our support will help streamline your operations, ensuring that ISO 27001 becomes a resource rather than a blocker to your company’s growth.
How we will work with you?
Stage 1
Defining the
Certification Scope
The process begins with defining the scope of your certification. This typically covers dedicated services, departments, or specific locations within the company. Certifying the entire organisation may not always be necessary or commercially justified. Together, we will define the certification scope and confirm the next steps.
Stage 2
Reviewing the
Current State
Whether you are applying for ISO 27001 certification or already have it, we need to review the current state and identify what has already been implemented, what is working, and where challenges may lie. This stage allows us to better understand your organisation and pinpoint areas for improvement and implementation of corrective actions.
Stage 3
Developing
an Action Plan
Based on our review of the current state and the defined scope, we will propose an action plan. This plan will be tailored to your organisation’s specific needs, challenges, and requirements. We will leverage our extensive experience to create solutions that are bespoke and highly relevant to your operations.
Stage 4
Implementation
Support
If you prefer not to handle known problems on your own or do not have time to manage ongoing improvements and maintenance, leave it to the specialists. We will manage your gaps from start to finish, creating new processes, implementing improvements, preparing documentation, and training staff. While you could handle it internally, wouldn’t it be easier, faster, and more cost-effective to let specialists take care of it for you?
Stage 5
Internal
Audit
As required by ISO 27001, we will conduct an internal audit within your organisation, preparing a report that highlights your compliance status and areas for improvement. You may view this internal audit as a check on the current state of your information security prior to the certification audit. Internal audits help assess the implementation and readiness for certification, identifying areas for improvement and eliminating potential non-conformities.
Stage 6
Selecting a
Certification Body
We will assist in selecting and collaborating with an accredited certification body. We work with leading providers that hold international accreditations. As auditors ourselves, we have an in-depth understanding of how certifying organisations operate, ensuring a smooth process.
Stage 7
Support During
Certification
We will be with you throughout the ISO 27001 certification process. Initially, we will prepare you for certification, conduct internal training, and gather the necessary evidence (policies and procedures). We will then set the agenda for the meeting, arrange participants from your organisation, and collect audit evidence. Furthermore, we will accompany you during meetings with the auditor at each session, ensuring you never feel alone during the process. Finally, we will work with the certifying organisation to gather the required evidence and expedite the finalisation of the certification process.
Stage 8
Ongoing
Support
Information security is an ongoing process. After obtaining ISO 27001 certification, your company will need to allocate time and resources to maintain compliance and security. You can do this in-house with your own resources or delegate it to us. We will manage this for you, functioning as a dedicated extension of your team, ensuring that ISO 27001 remains a seamless part of your organisational framework without the need for additional internal resources.
