ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems. It provides a structured framework for managing information security risks and protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Independent ISO 27001 certification demonstrates that an organisation’s Information Security Management System has been assessed against the requirements of the standard.
Why Choose ISO 27001?
Improved Security Management: Achieving ISO 27001 certification provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This helps mitigate security risks and reduces the likelihood of data breaches or cyberattacks.
Increased Trust and Credibility: ISO 27001 demonstrates a commitment to maintaining robust information security practices and complying with internationally recognised standards. This enhances an organisation's reputation and instils confidence among stakeholders, including customers, partners, regulators, and investors.
We start with a review of your current information security arrangements, risks, controls and documentation. This helps us understand how your organisation protects data and what needs to be improved to align with ISO 27001 requirements.
We support the development of your information security management system, including key policies, risk treatment, controls, roles and supporting evidence. The focus is on creating an ISMS that is clear, proportionate and realistic for your organisation.
Once the ISMS is developed, we help your team embed the right processes and security controls. This may include staff awareness, internal reviews, documentation checks and preparation support before moving towards an external certification audit.
Critical Path provides ISO 27001 consultancy and certification preparation, but we do not audit or certify our own work. Your certification audit must be completed independently, and we can guide you towards suitable UKAS or non-UKAS certification bodies.
ISO 27001 certification can help organisations manage information security risks, protect sensitive information and demonstrate a structured commitment to security.
