Your ISO 27001:2022 Journey

 Gap analysis

How do you measure up against ISO 27001? You are very likely to have many of the ISO 27001 controls in place already.

Conducting an ISO 27001 gap analysis is an important starting point. It will identify your compliance gaps so you can implement the security measures you need as effectively and economically as possible.

 Penetration testing

Penetration testing is an essential component of every ISO 27001-compliant ISMS. It enables you to identify the technical vulnerabilities that put your organisation’s information assets at risk. Testing should be carried out regularly, from initial development to ongoing maintenance and continual improvement, in line with control objective 8.8.

 Staff awareness/training and qualifications

Clause 7.2 of ISO 27001:2022 requires an organisation to ensure the competence of people doing work that affects its information security performance. Regular staff awareness training will ensure your staff have the knowledge and skills they need to ensure you achieve and maintain your ISO 27001 certification.

 Documentation

Failure to document your ISO 27001 policies and processes can lead to a nonconformity. Use our customisable documentation templates to create the records you need to achieve and maintain compliance with the Standard.
