What is ISO 27001:2022 certification?
ISO 27001:2022 is an Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard and supports effective Information Security Management of your business and help you meet the requirements for confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
ISO 27001:2022 is a globally recognised standard. These days and regarding the risk of information security breaches, more and more businesses will only deal with accredited companies as they recognise the controls in their data and information. Organisations that hold ISO 27001:2022 certification have a competitive advantage because compliance with ISO 27001:2022 reduces costs associated with cybersecurity incidents and threats.
The new ISO/IEC 27001:2022 was published on the 25th of October 2022, with some minor changes to the clauses but major changes to Annex A. In this blog, we will review the changes and how they will affect your organisation.

How Can We Assist You?
Gap Assessment
We offer this service to organisations that have existing documents including policies, procedures, manuals, forms, handbooks, etc. and would like to check if the existing documents meet the requirements of the desired standards and what they need to do to certify the system.
System Development
We offer this service to organisations that do not have any existing system (documents) including policies, procedures, manuals, forms, handbooks, etc. or the gap assessment shows that their existing system needs to improve to meet the requirements of the desired standard.
Implementation
A Management system should be documented and implemented to meet the requirements of the desired standards. We will supervise and guide our clients during the Implementation of the management while they follow the policies and procedures and use the forms.
Internal Audit
An annual internal audit is required to get certified and maintain the ISO certificates. We offer this service to organisations that do not have the internal resources to conduct the internal audits or would like to have a new pair of eyes to detect the opportunities for improvements.
Attending External Audit
Dealing with the external auditor might be quite stressful and challenging for the organisations, particularly for the ones that are willing to certify their system for the first time. We will attend the external audit and assist them as a facilitator for a better and smoother experience.
Ongoing Maintenance
Once the organisations achieve their certificate, they will face a new challenge for maintaining what they have achieved as every year the certification body comes back for a surveillance audit. We offer this service to draw their attention to what they might miss in the routines.
