ISO/IEC 27001 remains the leading information security management standard and an increasingly common contractual requirement. The 2022 revision updates Annex A controls, tightens governance expectations, and raises the bar on risk management evidence. Implementing the standard cleanly, and sustaining it through surveillance and recertification audits, takes a disciplined programme with the right artefacts in the right sequence.

WHAT YOU GET: A THREE-PHASE JOURNEY

Phase 1: Diagnose. Seven domain assessments (30 questions each, 210 total) score your maturity across Control Framework Integration, Evidence Management Automation, Response Workflow Efficiency, and related areas. You can complete the Quick Scan diagnostic in under an hour and know exactly where the biggest gaps and opportunities sit.

Phase 2: Set Goals. Five PM template workbooks with roadmaps, RACI matrices, milestone trackers, risk registers, and stakeholder communication plans. These lock in scope, timeline, and accountability before a single line of implementation work starts, which is consistently where programmes succeed or stall.

Phase 3: Implement. Nine operational runbooks and checklists covering deployment, incident response, vendor and third-party handling, and handover and integration. Every runbook is built to be followed by a working team, not read and filed. Pro tips, example rows, and common-mistake callouts give you the benefit of hard-won practitioner experience from the first day.
