ISO 27001 Compliance
ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management
ISO 27001 certification signals to global customers and partners that you manage information security risk through a formal, auditable management system. We help you design the ISMS, implement controls from Annex A, and prepare for certification audits. It also increasingly overlaps with newer regulatory expectations: frameworks like NIS2 and DORA reference phishing-resistant authentication and formal risk management in ways an existing ISO 27001 program can often already satisfy with minor extension.

Frequently asked questions
How long does ISO 27001 certification typically take?
Most organizations starting from scratch take 6 to 12 months from gap assessment to certification audit, depending on how mature existing controls and documentation already are. Organizations with an existing security program can move faster.
What's the difference between ISO 27001 and SOC 2?
ISO 27001 is a certifiable management system standard with a broad, internationally recognized scope. SOC 2 is an attestation report, more common in North American SaaS sales cycles, built around the Trust Services Criteria. Many organizations pursue both; the underlying control work overlaps significantly.
Do we need a full-time employee to maintain ISO 27001 certification?
Not necessarily. Many organizations maintain their ISMS with a part-time internal owner supported by an external partner for internal audits, risk assessment updates, and control monitoring. What matters is that someone owns it continuously, not just in the weeks before a surveillance audit.
Does ISO 27001 help with newer regulations like NIS2 or DORA?
Yes, substantially. Both NIS2 and DORA expect a formal risk management approach, documented controls, and incident response procedures, all of which an ISO 27001 ISMS already provides. Organizations subject to those regulations often extend an existing ISO 27001 program rather than building compliance from zero.
