ISO 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information through risk assessment, policies, and continuous improvement.

How long does ISO 27001 certification take?

Typically 6–12 months depending on your organization's size and current security maturity. This includes building the ISMS, implementing controls, conducting internal audits, and passing the two-stage external audit.

What's the difference between ISO 27001 and SOC 2?

ISO 27001 is an international certification focused on building a complete ISMS. SOC 2 is a U.S.-focused attestation report on specific trust service criteria. ISO 27001 is generally more recognized globally.

Do we need to certify the entire company?

No. You define the scope of your ISMS — it can cover specific departments, locations, or business processes. We help you scope it strategically to maximize value while minimizing effort.

How often do we need to recertify?

ISO 27001 certificates are valid for 3 years, with mandatory surveillance audits in years 1 and 2, and a full recertification audit in year 3.
