Information Security Management System

Ready to enhance your information security management system? Our certified experts guide you from implementation to audit.

End-to-end ISO 27001 expertise

From scoping your ISMS to certification and long-term maintenance, our certified team covers every stage of your ISO 27001 journey.

ISO 27001 Implementation

We guide your organisation through every stage of ISO 27001 certification — from scoping your ISMS and conducting risk assessments to building your Statement of Applicability, implementing Annex A controls, and preparing for your certification audit. Delivered by certified Lead Implementers, not junior consultants.

ISO 27001 Internal Audit

We conduct independent internal audits of your ISMS against ISO 27001:2022 requirements — assessing control effectiveness, identifying non-conformities, and producing audit reports that stand up to scrutiny. Ideal for pre-certification readiness, annual surveillance cycles, and management review preparation.

ISMS Maintenance

Certification is the beginning, not the end. We support certified organisations with ongoing ISMS maintenance — annual internal audits, surveillance audit preparation, management reviews, and continual improvement cycles. Stay compliant, stay audit-ready, year after year.

Frequently asked questions

How long does ISO 27001 certification take?

For most SMEs, four to eight months from kick-off to the certification audit, depending on how much of an ISMS already exists and how quickly decisions get made. The certification audit itself has two stages: a documentation review (Stage 1) and an implementation audit (Stage 2), usually a few weeks apart.

How much does ISO 27001 certification cost?

Three cost lines: implementation support, the certification body's audit fees, and your own team's time. Audit fees scale with headcount and scope. Beware quotes that look too cheap, they usually assume templated documentation that fails under a competent auditor.

Do we need a consultant to get certified?

No, and anyone who says otherwise is selling. A consultant pays for itself when you lack in-house time or auditing experience: you avoid the classic failure modes (over-documented policies nobody follows, scope drawn wrong, evidence gaps discovered in the audit week) and your team learns to run the ISMS afterwards.

What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits?

Stage 1 checks your ISMS documentation is complete and audit-ready and confirms scope; Stage 2 tests whether the ISMS actually operates: interviews, records, evidence sampling. Most surprises happen at Stage 2, which is why a pre-certification internal audit (ISO 27001:2022 Clause 9.2 requires one anyway) is the best money you'll spend.
