ISO 27001 Gap Analysis

We begin with a comprehensive ISO 27001 gap analysis to compare your existing security controls against ISO 27001 requirements and Annex A controls. This phase identifies compliance gaps, cybersecurity risks, and documentation need forming the foundation of your ISO 27001 implementation roadmap. 

Establish an Information Security Management System (ISMS)

Next, we help you design and document an Information Security Management System tailored to your organization, scope, and risk profile. This includes defining ISMS policies, procedures, and records required for ISO 27001 compliance,
such as:

• Information security policies 
• Risk assessment and risk treatment methodology 
• Asset management and access controls 
• Incident management and business continuity planning 
• Supplier and third-party security controls 

Process Owner and Stakeholder Alignment

Successful ISO 27001 implementation depends on strong engagement across IT, security, legal, HR, and business leadership. We collaborate with process owners to review ISMS documentation, gather feedback, and ensure controls align with real-world operations while meeting information security best practices. 

Implement the ISO 27001 ISMS

During this phase, your ISO 27001 Information Security Management System is fully implemented. Our ISO 27001 consultants guide your team to ensure controls are operating effectively, records are maintained, and information security practices are embedded into daily operations. 

ISO 27001 Internal Audit 

We conduct a detailed ISO 27001 internal audit to verify ISMS effectiveness and identify nonconformities prior to certification. This proactive step reduces audit risk and ensures your organization is ready for the external certification audit. 

Certification Body Audit – Stage 1

Your selected certification body performs the Stage 1 ISO 27001 audit, focusing on ISMS scope, documentation, and readiness. Any findings or gaps are addressed before proceeding to the final audit stage. 

Certification Body Audit – Stage 2 & ISO 27001 Certification

The Stage 2 audit evaluates full implementation and effectiveness of your ISMS. Upon successful completion, your organization achieves ISO 27001 certification, demonstrating compliance with international information security and cybersecurity standards. 

Continuous Improvement and ISMS Maintenance

ISO 27001 certification is not a one-time effort. We support ongoing ISMS maintenance and continuous improvement,
including: 

• Management reviews 
• Ongoing risk assessments 
• Internal audits 
• Incident and corrective action management 
• Surveillance audits and regulatory updates
