Prove you protect your data. Get ISO 27001 certified with Company Certification International — an accredited certification body since 1997 — and manage the whole journey with the AI-powered ISOXPERT Compliance360 platform.

Overview

What is ISO 27001?

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's leading standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It sets out a risk-based framework for protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information — spanning people, processes and technology, not just IT controls.

Certification means an independent, accredited body has audited your ISMS and confirmed it meets the standard. That certificate is recognised globally and is increasingly a requirement to win enterprise contracts, pass vendor security reviews and satisfy regulators.

The current version, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, aligns with a refreshed set of Annex A controls covering areas such as access control, cryptography, supplier relationships, incident management and business continuity.

Who needs it

Is ISO 27001 right for your organisation?

If you hold, process or transmit sensitive data, ISO 27001 is quickly becoming table stakes.

SaaS & technology

Enterprise buyers ask for your ISO 27001 certificate before they sign. It removes friction from procurement and security questionnaires.

Finance & BPO

Demonstrate to clients and regulators that customer and transaction data is managed to an internationally recognised standard.

Suppliers & exporters

When your customers are certified, they expect their supply chain to be too. Certification keeps you on the approved-vendor list.

The path to certification

How ISO 27001 certification works

1 · Scope & gap analysis

Define your ISMS scope and compare current controls against ISO 27001. Compliance360 generates a clause-mapped gap report automatically.

2 · Build the ISMS

Create policies, a risk assessment, a Statement of Applicability and evidence. AI drafts audit-ready documentation in minutes, not weeks.

3 · Internal audit & review

Run an internal audit and management review to confirm the system works and close any gaps before the certification body arrives.

4 · Stage 1 audit

CCI reviews your documentation and readiness — confirming your ISMS is designed correctly and ready for the main assessment.

5 · Stage 2 audit

A CCI auditor assesses your ISMS in operation and, on success, recommends your organisation for ISO 27001 certification.

6 · Certificate & surveillance

Receive your 3-year certificate, then maintain it with annual surveillance audits — tracked and reminded inside the platform.
