ISO 27001:2022
Information Security

ISO 27001:2022 is a framework for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) to manage your organisation’s sensitive information to make sure that it stays secure. This involves identifying and managing the risks around your people, processes, and IT systems.

ISO 27001 certification shows that you operate to this international best practice for information security management.

Generally speaking, most organisations and businesses will have some form of controls in place to manage information security. These controls are necessary as, in recent times, information has become one of the most valuable assets that a business owns.

ISO27001 requirements are about how well these controls are organised and monitored. Many organisations introduce security controls haphazardly: some are introduced to provide specific solutions for specific problems, whilst others are often introduced simply as a matter of convention.

Such a random security policy will only address certain aspects of IT or data security, and can leave valuable non-IT information assets like paperwork and proprietary knowledge less protected and vulnerable. The ISO 27001 standard was introduced to address these issues.

How to get ISO 27001:2013 Information Security certification  

An ISO 27001 Information Security Management System gives you a world-class framework to operate within, and we will help you to achieve ISO 27001 requirements in an innovative way by showing you how to examine what you already do as an organisation and fitting this around the standard, rather than making you change established ways of working to fit in with a set view of the standard.

We will show you that the ISO 27001 compliance process can be quite straightforward by: 

reviewing the arrangements you have and identify what else you need to achieve ISO information security certification; 
formulate a plan to address any gaps between what you have and what you need; 
help you to develop any policies, procedures and processes required in support of your information security management system; 
show you how to identify and evaluate the aspects of your business that can impact on information security; 
show you how to conduct internal audits of your organisation.

WHY GET AN
INFORMATION SECURITY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?

There are a whole host of benefits to putting in an ISO 27001 management system, such as:

Demonstrating credibility when tendering for contracts
Showing you are taking cyber security threats seriously
Avoiding penalties and financial losses due to data breaches
Removing the need to complete detailed security questionnaires on supply chains
Giving yourself a proven marketing edge against your competitors
Meeting increasing client demands for greater data security
Protecting and enhance your reputation

How long does it take to get certification?

With our efficient and streamlined system, the time it takes to achieve ISO certification typically ranges from just 4 to 8 weeks. This quick turnaround is made possible by our fully online process, where you can register and begin uploading your documents immediately. Our expert auditors review your submissions promptly, providing feedback and guidance as needed to ensure you meet the required standards. Once your documentation is approved, your ISO certificate is issued electronically without delay, making our system one of the fastest and most convenient routes to certification available. We will then award you certification which is accredited through the ASCB, one of the leading international accreditation bodies in the world.
Why should I get certification from AAA?

The fact is that any company can audit you and give you a piece of paper saying that you are ISO compliant (to whichever standard) but frankly this does not mean very much. For credibility, you should find an accredited Certification Body. This is where AAA comes in, and this means that we, in turn, have been audited by the Accreditation Service for Certifying Bodies, or ASCB. This will ensure that you get ASCB accredited certification.
How much will it cost?

Our ISO certification process is designed to be both affordable and transparent, with prices starting at just £575+VAT. This competitive pricing structure ensures that businesses of all sizes can access high-quality certification services without breaking the bank. The cost covers the entire process, including expert guidance, document reviews, and the issuance of your ISO certificate. There are no hidden fees or unexpected charges, making it easy to budget for certification and ensuring you receive excellent value for your investment.
What is the Certification Cycle?

It's important to recognise ISO certification is not a single event, but rather an ongoing process that ensures your business complies with the requirements of its chosen standard. The certification cycle is a three-year programme which starts with the Stage One audit. We investigate whether or not you have successfully managed to comply with the proposed scope and the targets you have set for your company. While this may show up some weaknesses and areas for improvement, this process is designed to be constructive, preparing you for the Stage Two audit. Typically around 30 days later you will then have a Stage Two audit. This confirms that your processes and systems are free from nonconformities. Again, we will evaluate your performance and efficiency and make the recommendations for certification. There may still be a need to address nonconformities following this audit, but it's at this point you get your ISO certification. The following two years will see annual Surveillance Audits by us. During these, all the elements covered in the Stage Two audit are re-assessed with a view to ensuring that all the original systems and processes are operating as specified and producing the correct outcomes. Following these two years of Surveillance Audits, you will then get a Recertification Audit. Your ISO certificate is valid for three years after its initial issue. Recertification requires you to undergo an audit similar to the initial auditing process without the need for a Stage One audit.
