From Gap to Certified: A Fully Managed ISMS Programme

ISO 27001 requires a functioning Information Security Management System embedded in your organisation. Scyverge provides a named lead consultant who manages your programme end-to-end: scoping the ISMS, building documentation, running risk assessments, preparing your team for audit, and liaising with your certification body throughout Stage 1 and Stage 2.

Gap Assessment and Remediation

Gap-assess against ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls; produce a prioritised remediation plan and certification timeline.

ISMS Scope Definition

Define ISMS scope, boundaries, and context per Clause 4; identify interested parties and applicable regulatory requirements.

Risk Assessment (ISO 27005)

Build risk assessment and treatment plan per ISO 27005: asset inventory, threat register, risk scoring, and Annex A control selection.

Vendor and Supplier Risk Review

Assess supplier and third-party risks within ISMS scope; evaluate security controls, data handling, and contractual obligations.

Current Control Inventory

Catalogue existing security controls and map to Annex A; identify gaps, overlaps, and areas requiring new controls.

Legal and Regulatory Mapping

Map all legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements to ISMS scope per Clause 4.2; document compliance obligations.

ISMS Documentation Suite

Build the ISMS documentation suite: IS policy, acceptable use, access control, incident management, BCP, and SoA.

Control Implementation

Implement technical and organisational controls across your environment: deploy and validate each control, not just document it.

Technical Security Controls

Implement access management, encryption, network security, endpoint protection, and backup controls satisfying Annex A requirements.

Security Awareness Training

Deliver role-based ISO 27001 training: information security policy, acceptable use, incident reporting, and security hygiene.

Internal Audit Programme

Run independent internal audit programme and management review per Clause 9; confirm ISMS effectiveness before Stage 1.

Statement of Applicability

Develop the SoA documenting applicability and implementation status of all Annex A controls; justify exclusions per Clause 6.1.3.

Certification Audit Support

Conduct pre-audit readiness review, mock Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits; provide live support during certification body audit.

Ongoing Compliance Monitoring

Periodically review ISMS controls, update risk register, and drive continuous improvement; maintain certification readiness across the 3-year cycle.

Surveillance Audit Preparation

Prepare for annual surveillance audits with evidence packages, updated documentation, and remediation of prior non-conformities.

Risk Register Maintenance

Maintain the risk assessment and treatment plan as threats, assets, and business changes arise; keep the SoA accurate and complete.

Management Review Facilitation

Facilitate periodic management reviews per Clause 9.3: ISMS performance, audit results, risk status, and improvement opportunities.

Continual Improvement Programme

Drive continual ISMS improvement per Clause 10: corrective actions, incident lessons, and emerging best practices.

Is ISO 27001 Right for Your Organisation?

SaaS and Technology Companies

Enterprise customers and procurement teams routinely require ISO 27001 as a baseline security assurance. It also de-risks vendor due diligence and accelerates sales cycles.

Mid-Market and Enterprise

Organisations handling sensitive customer or employee data that need a structured, board-visible information security programme aligned to a recognised international standard.

Globally Operating Businesses

Any organisation bidding for government, financial services, or enterprise contracts, especially across the UK, EU, GCC, and Australia, where ISO 27001 is a minimum requirement.

Questions We Get Asked Often

ISO 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for managing sensitive company information through risk assessment, security controls, and continuous improvement, certified by an accredited certification body.

ISO 27001 certification typically takes 3 to 6 months with Scyverge, depending on organisational size and existing security maturity. Scyverge provides end-to-end support from gap assessment through certification body liaison.

Scyverge provides gap assessment against ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls, complete ISMS documentation suite, risk assessment aligned with ISO 27005, internal audit, and certification body liaison.

Minor nonconformities require corrective action within 90 days and do not block certification. Major nonconformities must be resolved and re-audited before the certificate is issued. Scyverge prepares you to pass on first attempt.

Most organisations achieve certification in 6 to 9 months, including ISMS design, control implementation, internal audit, and the two-stage external certification audit. Complex environments may take 12 months.
