ISO/IEC 27001:2022 implementation
We take your organisation from where it stands today to an Information Security Management System ready to be audited and certified.
- Standard
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and Annex A
- Duration
- 8 to 14 months depending on scope
- Team
- Certified Senior Lead Implementer
- Output
- ISMS ready for certification audit
The problem
ISO 27001 certification stopped being an ornament: more and more corporate clients and public tenders demand it as a condition to contract. The 2022 version reorganised the Annex A controls into four themes and added eleven new ones, so an implementation based on the old edition no longer works.
What it includes
Gap analysis
Comparison of the current state against every requirement of the standard and every Annex A control, with the real percentage of compliance per clause.
Scope and context
Definition of the ISMS scope, the interested parties and their requirements, which is where the cost of everything else is decided.
Risk management
Assessment and treatment methodology, asset inventory, valued risks with assigned owners and the Statement of Applicability.
Documentation set
ISMS policy, mandatory procedures, records and evidence, drafted for your operation and not copied from a template.
Control implementation
Technical support on the Annex A controls that demand real work: access, cryptography, backup, logging, secure development and suppliers.
Awareness and competence
Training for staff and senior management, with the evidence the auditor will ask for.
Internal audit and review
Execution of the internal audit, handling of nonconformities and management review before calling in the certification body.
Certification support
Preparation for stage 1 and stage 2, and support during the certification body's audit.

Certification is issued by an independent body, not by us. Our job is to leave the system in a condition to pass: we prepare, accompany and answer during the audit, but the verdict comes from an accredited third party, which is precisely what gives the certificate its value.
