Preparing for the ISO 27001:2022 certification involves a structured approach to ensure your organization complies with the standard's requirements.

​

What is ISO 27001:2022 Certification?
 

ISO 27001:2022 certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented an ISMS that complies with the standard’s requirements. It involves:

  • Identifying information security risks.

  • Implementing controls to mitigate these risks.

  • Continuously improving the ISMS to ensure ongoing effectiveness

​

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the latest version of the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for organizations to manage and protect their information assets through a systematic approach to risk management. Achieving and maintaining ISO 27001 certification involves a two-stage audit process (Stage 1 and Stage 2), followed by recertification every three years. Here’s a detailed explanation of the certification and recertification process:

​

Why Do Companies Get ISO27001 Certified

Attract New Clients
