ISO 27001
The internationally recognized standard for an information security management system.
Overview
ISO/IEC 27001 is a global standard for building and operating an Information Security Management System (ISMS): a structured, risk-based approach to protecting information assets. Unlike SOC 2, it results in an actual certification, valid for three years with annual surveillance audits.
Why it matters
ISO 27001 carries significant weight outside North America and with enterprise and government customers who require certification, not just a report. It also forces a more rigorous, ongoing risk management discipline than many companies have in place.
How Sense Six Cyber helps
- Scope the ISMS to the right parts of your business
- Run a gap assessment against Annex A controls
- Build the required documentation set (Statement of Applicability, risk treatment plan, etc.)
- Prepare for Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits
- Support surveillance audits and continuous improvement afterward
Ideal for
Companies selling into Europe, government, or enterprise accounts that specifically require ISO 27001 certification.
