Referred to as a “Stage 1 Assessment”, our auditor will conduct an initial review of your management system to determine your readiness for the certification audit, known as the “Stage 2 Assessment”. The Stage 1 Assessment will include reviews of the management system documentation and allocation of resources. It will also determine if management reviews, and internal audit processes are established and confirm the appropriate scope of the management system.
Gaps in your system will be documented as “Areas of Concern” that should be addressed prior to the Stage 2 Assessment.
When you are ready, an auditor will conduct a “Stage 2 Assessment” to establish if your organization meets the standard’s requirements. This is an in-depth review of each of your processes to verify the implementation and effectiveness of the management system. Where requirements are not met, the auditor will issue a nonconformity.
Nonconformities must be addressed prior to certification being granted. Once the responses for nonconformities are accepted, the auditor can recommend certification.
Following a review by our Compliance Team, a decision will be made as to whether your certification can be issued. Once certification is granted, we will conduct audits at least annually to ensure continued conformance to the requirements of the standard.

An ISO 27001 certification can benefit any organization, providing them with the framework needed to improve their information and data security.
ISO 27001 was developed to be appropriate for any organization, regardless of size or type. It is ideal for any organization looking to boost its IT defenses and increase its credibility as a trustworthy organization.
As cyber security and data protection become a larger concern for customers, organizations demonstrating their commitment to robust security could enjoy winning more business and clients, retaining them for longer, and avoiding any potential legal ramifications.
ISO 27001 certification is suitable for any organization, large or small, in any sector. The standard is especially relevant where information protection is critical, such as banking, financial, health, public, and IT. The standard also applies to organizations that manage high volumes of data or information on behalf of other organizations, such as data centers and IT outsourcing companies.
A data breach occurs when an outside party can access the data you’ve collected, processed, and stored. This can happen when data and information are stolen by hackers or by accidentally leaving a device that contains data in a public space.
Data breaches can have a number of consequences, both short and long-term. These can include financial penalties, litigation, reputational damage, loss of work and clients, and disruption of regular business.
Some of these consequences may even lead to your organization shutting down entirely.
The Information Security Management System standard lasts for three years and is subject to mandatory audits to ensure compliance. At the end of the three years, you must complete a reassessment audit to receive the standard for an additional three years.
