Businesses can gain a competitive advantage using ISO 27001

The to the european legislation regularly adjusts itself to the economic situation in Europe. The number of data leaks, cyber attacks and the resulting impact for society are increasing. This is why UK and the EU have been developing a legal response to this trend. The EU has been enforcing GDPR now for some years. The United Kingdom has its own data privacy act: The Data Protection Act 2018. Unfortunately, companies need to make a greater effort to provent becoming victim to cyber crime and accidental data leaks. Legislation has been ramping up to enforce the new NIS 2.0 as it wants to improve business resilience of critical infrastructure providers. The new approach to information security leads to risk mitigation requirements trickling down to smaller suppliers of material and services.

In order to keep out of trouble and avoid suffering adverse ESG down rating, even smaller businesses need to look towards gaining the ISO 27001 certification. By implementing a certified Information Security Management System (ISMS) business owners and CEOs can prove they have made reasonable efforts to reduce the risk exposure of their organisation. On the other hand, this also allows to generate a competitive advantage as many competitors will not bother to protect their client’s data. Hence, such certified businesses display a greater trustworthyness and sustainable business leadership. To gain this desirable ISO 27001:2002 certificate, you need to have written a compliant documentation which the accredited certification body can examine. Those in your organisation handling sensitive information need to have attended an information security awareness training before the audit date. The internal audit is part of the process of information security required by the ISO 27001 standard. Our experts can releive you of a lot of paper work and save you great expenses. We will prepare you for the external audit and advocate on your behalf, should a lead auditor have a conflicting view of your security posture.

A Management System needs to fit the company's reality: All endangered assets, identified risks, relevant systems and required security measures and those responsible must be documented according to ISO 27001.

All staff (incl. trainees and freelancers) must attend a Security Awareness Training based on their field of work. Internal Auditors and ISO 27001 Managers will require extensive training.

So that a company may apply for their ISO 27001 documentation be reviewed for conformity by contacting a certification body (CAB). The CAB dispatches an auditor to the company. The audit team will check documentation and implementation. Upon successful verification the ISO 27001 certificate may be issued.

An ISO 27001 auditor reviews the documents of the Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) on their norm conformity. The auditor will inspect the implementation of the security measures in the company's routines. The Audit Report contains all observation along with the non-conformities. The certification body needs it for its decision process.

The ISO 27001 documentation can be highly complex and contain many documents. A checklist helps you avoid forgetting vital components of the ISMS. Some industries require very specific checklist in order to avoid failing an audit due to inconsistency.

An ISO 27001 auditor prepares for an audit with a clear workflow in mind. This is why it is imminent for companies to also do their homework before the audit day arrives. All documents, trainings and briefings must be in place. Every vital person must be on standby to succeed.

An ISO 27001 project requires writing the documents, running internal audits as well as applying for the certification audit. Employees need relevant training.

Creating an ISMS takes considerable time. If you are short in time, then you are well advised to let seasoned experts do the work for you. This will save you time, frustration and money.
