Why expert advice is worth having

Organisations rarely fail ISO/IEC 27001 because the standard is hard. They fail because the evidence does not match what the auditor asks for.

1

It has to survive after we leave

A ISO/IEC 27001 system that only works while a consultant is on site fails its first surveillance audit. We build it so your own people can run it, and train them to do so.

2

Surveillance never stops

A ISO/IEC 27001 certificate is the start of a three year cycle, not the end of a project. Building for the surveillance audits from day one costs far less than rebuilding before each one.

3

A date you can actually commit to

Knowing which parts of ISO/IEC 27001 can be compressed and which cannot is the difference between meeting a tender deadline and explaining why you missed it.

4

Experience across sectors

Having implemented ISO/IEC 27001 in very different operating environments, we can tell you quickly which of your worries are real and which are inherited from someone else's situation.

What ISO/IEC 27001 is worth to you

Certification is a commercial decision before it is a technical one. This is where the return usually shows up.

Enterprise Sales Unblocked

Large clients send security questionnaires that stall deals for months, and a certificate answers most of those questions in one document.

Cyber Insurance Terms

Insurers underwrite certified organisations on better terms because documented controls reduce the loss they expect to have to pay out.

Breach Cost Contained

Defined incident response means a compromise is spotted and closed within hours instead of being reported to you by a customer.

Leaver Risk Handled

Access revocation and asset return become routine process, so departing employees stop walking out with client data on personal devices.

Look at how it is structured before you commit

Documentation for ISO/IEC 27001 fails when it describes a company nobody recognises. Ours maps clause by clause onto how you actually operate, so the manual, the procedures and the record formats hang together and an auditor can follow the thread. Book a demo and we will show you that structure on screen, not describe it.

ISO/IEC 27001 questions we are asked most

What will we have to put in place for ISO/IEC 27001?

The requirements fall into four buckets: define it, document it, run it long enough to generate records, then audit it yourself before the certification body does.

What is a realistic timeline for ISO/IEC 27001?

Two to four months is the honest range for most organisations, measured from gap analysis to the certification audit. What moves it is how much you already document, how quickly people can be released for training, and the certification body's own diary.

Do you issue the ISO/IEC 27001 certificate yourselves?

No, and no consultant should. The certificate comes from an independent accredited certification body after their own audit. We prepare you to pass it and we are there on the day to close findings. That separation is exactly what makes the certificate worth holding.

What does ISO/IEC 27001 consultancy cost?

We price per engagement rather than per seat, because a single site business and a five site group need very different amounts of work. You get a written proposal covering scope, audit days and fees before committing to anything.

Which industries need ISO/IEC 27001?

We map ISO/IEC 27001 to 8 sectors and it sits in our cyber security practice. Organisations usually arrive because a specific buyer, regulator or tender committee has asked. Tell us who is asking and we will confirm whether this is the standard that satisfies them.

Do you have to visit our premises?

Both, and hybrid. Gap analysis and audit day usually benefit from someone physically present, while documentation and training work perfectly well remotely. We fit delivery to your sites and schedule rather than the reverse.

Prefer to just ask someone about ISO/IEC 27001 rather than fill in a form?
