1. How long does ISO 27001 implementation typically take?
   Implementation timeframes vary based on your organisation's size and current security maturity. For most mid-sized organisations, expect 6-9 months from initial assessment to certification readiness. Our approach prioritises efficiency without compromising effectiveness, enabling you to achieve certification without unnecessary delays.
2. Do we need to implement all controls in Annex A?
   No. ISO 27001 requires you to consider all Annex A controls but implement only those relevant to your specific risks. Our risk-based approach helps you select appropriate controls and document justifications for exclusions in your Statement of Applicability (SOA). This ensures you invest resources only where they provide real security benefits.
3. How do we maintain certification once achieved?
   Maintaining ISO 27001 certification requires ongoing commitment. This includes regular internal audits, management reviews, and addressing any nonconformities. You will also need to undergo surveillance audits by your certification body annually and undergo recertification every three years. Our retained support services help you maintain compliance with minimal effort while continuously improving your security posture.
4. What's the difference between compliance and actual security?
   Compliance focuses on meeting specific requirements, while security focuses on effectively protecting your information assets. Our approach delivers both: we ensure you meet ISO 27001 requirements while implementing controls that provide real protection against your specific threats. This balanced approach prevents the common pitfall of "certified but vulnerable" that affects many organisations.
5. Is ISO 27001 just for IT departments?

   No. A common misconception is that information security is solely an IT responsibility. In reality, ISO 27001:2022 takes an organization-wide approach, with controls spanning people, organizational processes, physical security, and technology. Effective implementation requires involvement from all departments, with leadership setting the tone. Our approach ensures security becomes embedded in your organizational culture, not isolated within IT.
