Over the years our ISO consultants have developed a set of tools, templates and techniques to help our clients achieve ISO 27001 as quickly, hassle-free and economically as possible.

The certification process for ISO 27001 requires two audits to take place, 2-3 months apart. 

• The first audit (Stage 1) verifies that the documentation you have put in place conforms to the standard to make sure all requirements are covered;  
• The second audit (Stage 2) verifies that the controls are in place and working, policies and procedures are adhered to and ISMS activities are being tracked and implemented.
