Expert ISMS implementation, automated documentation, and certification readiness. Align security controls with Microsoft 365 and achieve compliance faster.
ISO 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability through people, processes, and technology controls.
Identify, assess, and treat information security risks systematically. Not all controls are mandatory — implement what matters for your risk profile.
ISMS is not a one-time project. Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle ensures your security posture evolves with threats and business changes.
Third-party certification bodies audit your ISMS for compliance. Certification demonstrates commitment to security to customers, partners, and regulators.
Last updated:
2-week evaluation of current security posture against ISO 27001 Annex A. Identify quick wins and prioritize control implementation based on risk.
Pre-built policies, procedures, and forms integrated with Microsoft 365. SharePoint-based ISMS portal with automated workflows and version control.
Map Microsoft 365 security features to ISO 27001 controls. Conditional Access, Defender, Purview, and Information Protection aligned to Annex A requirements.
Structured risk identification, analysis, and treatment process. Risk register with automated updates from Microsoft Purview and Defender alerts.
Security awareness training for all staff. Role-based training for ISMS stakeholders. Quarterly phishing simulations and metrics dashboards.
Pre-certification internal audits to identify gaps. Audit program templates, checklists, and evidence collection workflows. Corrective action tracking.
Most compliance consultants treat technology as a checkbox. We architect compliance into your Microsoft 365 environment from day one. Our ISMS implementations leverage native security features you already own — Conditional Access for access control, Purview for DLP, Defender for endpoint protection, Information Protection for classification.
The result: Faster time to certification, lower cost, and a security program that scales with your business instead of fighting it.
ISO 27001 requires extensive policies, procedures, and records. Most organizations spend 6+ months writing documents from scratch.
Our Solution: Pre-built SharePoint ISMS portal with 40+ policy templates, automated workflows, and version control. Deployed in 2 weeks.
You likely have security tools deployed, but mapping them to ISO 27001 controls and proving effectiveness is complex.
Our Solution: Detailed control mapping from Microsoft 365 features to Annex A. Automated evidence collection from Defender, Conditional Access, and Purview.
Internal audits are required before certification, but most teams lack audit experience and fear finding gaps that delay certification.
Our Solution: White-glove internal audit service. We identify gaps early, provide remediation guidance, and track corrective actions to completion.
Certification is just the start. Annual surveillance audits and 3-year recertification require ongoing ISMS maintenance.
Our Solution: Managed ISMS service. We handle risk assessments, policy updates, internal audits, and management reviews so you stay certified.
Typical timeline is 6-12 months depending on your current maturity level. Gap assessment takes 2-4 weeks, ISMS implementation 3-6 months, internal audits 2-4 weeks, and certification audit 4-8 weeks. We accelerate this with automated documentation and pre-built control frameworks.
Not necessarily. ISO 27001 Annex A has 93 controls, but you only implement what's relevant based on your risk assessment. We help you perform a Statement of Applicability (SoA) to justify exclusions. Most organizations implement 70-85 controls depending on scope and risk profile.
Absolutely. Microsoft 365 E3/E5 covers many ISO 27001 controls: Conditional Access (access control), Defender for Endpoint (malware protection), Purview (DLP and encryption), Information Protection (classification), and Audit logs (monitoring). We map your existing tools to controls and identify gaps.
ISO 27001 is an international standard for ISMS with certification, while SOC 2 is a US-based attestation report. ISO 27001 is prescriptive (93 controls), SOC 2 is principles-based (Trust Service Criteria). ISO 27001 certification is public, SOC 2 reports are private. Many organizations pursue both for comprehensive coverage.
Total cost varies based on organization size and scope. Certification body fees range from $15K-$50K for initial audit plus $8K-$20K annually for surveillance. Our gap assessment is $7,500 fixed fee. Full ISMS implementation ranges from $25K-$75K depending on maturity and scope. We offer managed ISMS services starting at $2,500/month.
Minor non-conformances can be resolved within 90 days without re-audit. Major non-conformances require remediation and a follow-up audit (additional cost). Our internal audit process identifies issues before certification, reducing risk of failure. We've achieved 100% first-time certification success rate.
