MAKING ISO27001
CERTIFICATION EASIER
TO MANAGE

The fact is ISO standards are voluntary. There is no requirement in ISO Standards for you to be externally audited. The ISO simply demand that you evidence that audits take place covering each clause of the standard.

However, having ISO27001 certification demonstrates that your organisation’s information security management system has been independently audited and meets the requirements of ISO which can benefit your organisation in competitive pitches.

An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a set of rules that a company needs to establish in order to:

This set of rules can be written down in the form of policies, procedures, and other types of documents, or it can be in the form of established processes and technologies that are not documented. ISO27001 defines which documents are required.

With the right preparation and a good understanding of what is required for ISO27001, most organisations can expect to achieve certification within 3 to 6 months depending on their size and complexity.

We are at the forefront of using the latest innovations to make the ISO27001 certification process as efficient as possible, therefore increasing the productivity of employees. Our certification service is also designed to deliver significant cost savings over the life span of your information security management system by reducing the number of audit days on site.

By using a combination of free, easy-to-use, technology we enable real-time collaboration whether staff are working on-site, at multiple locations or working from home. Rather than have a lot of time intensive face-to-face meetings co-workers can share screens, documents, join meetings and stream high-quality video to enable real-time collaboration. In general, annual certification will cost £1k-£1.3

ISO (the International Standards Organisation) do not demand or promote UKAS certification. In fact, they recognise and acknowledge that organisations can self-certify, or obtain independent verification to demonstrate that standards are being met.

Non UKAS providers (NDC) help achieve the same objective with less bureaucracy and greater efficiency as they are free to innovate and adapt and work independently of UKAS and the EU.
