What is ISO 27001

The plain-English version.

ISO 27001:2022 is an international standard for ISMS, Information Security Management Systems. Achieving certification requires a risk-based framework, documented controls (Annex A), internal audit, and a stage-1/stage-2 external audit by an accredited certification body.

FAQ

ISO 27001 questions we hear weekly.

How long does ISO 27001 take?

Most customers complete a first audit in 60-90 days from kickoff. Larger programs run 4-6 months.

What does it cost?

Our retainer plus the external auditor's fee. We size it to your stage on the first call.

Do we need new tooling?

Vanta is our default. We can also work on Drata or Secureframe. No tooling change required if you're already on a platform.

Who runs the audit?

An independent ISO/IEC-qualified auditor. We have preferred firms in Brazil, the US, and Europe.

Will this stand up to enterprise scrutiny?

Yes. We design programs that pass not only the audit but also the buyer's security team review afterward.
