The business benefits from ISO 27001 certification are considerable. Not only do these standards help ensure that your security risks are cost-effectively managed, but your adherence to the standards transmits an important message to your customers and business partners.
ISO 27001 plays a very important role in monitoring, review, maintenance and improvement of your information security management system and will likely give other organisations and customers greater confidence in all the ways they interact with you.
Our approach to ISO 27001 engagements in the majority of cases is to first carry out a Gap Analysis of the organisation against the clauses and controls of the standard. This will provide a clear picture where you already conform to the standard, where there are some controls in place but there is room for improvement and where controls are missing and need to be implemented. For some organisations this will be the extent of the assistance required.
Following the Gap Analysis and debrief, you may require additional assistance by way of advice and guidance and project management of implementation of suitable controls and documentation required to meet the standard, in preparation for external certification.
Our Security Consultants can work with you to determine a scope of work and implementation methodology which works for you.
Please feel free to contact us for a no-obligation discussion for help establishing whether ISO 27001 is right for your organisation.
