ISO 27001 certification audit process
ISO 27001 sets the global standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), offering a structured framework for managing and protecting sensitive data. Its practical guidance helps organizations establish, maintain, and assess their security controls, making it one of the most widely recognized information security standards worldwide.
Achieving ISO 27001 certification shows clients and partners that your organization takes cybersecurity seriously. It not only strengthens your risk management efforts but also builds trust—giving you a competitive advantage over companies without the certification.
There are two audit stages that must be completed in order to achieve ISO 27001 certification.
01
Stage 1 Audit
Stage 1 Audit is sometimes called the “documentation review” or “pre-assessment” where our auditors perform a high-level review of your ISMS and determine if your policies and procedures are in place to conduct an audit. This stage is typically completed on-site in order to establish that the organization has met the minimum requirements of the ISO 27001 standard and is prepared for a certification audit. Our auditors will also highlight any areas of nonconformity and point out where potential improvements can be made.
02
Stage 2 Audit
During a Stage 2 Audit, our auditors will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if your organization’s ISMS is within compliance of the ISO 27001 standard. They do this by seeking evidence of the organization’s current policies and procedures. If any nonconformities are found, our auditors will provide feedback on how your organization can gain compliance. Upon successful completion, we are able to issue a report validating ISO certification.
