ISO 27001 Consultants

The Step-by-Step Process to Get You Compliant

Risk Crew can help your organisation achieve and maintain compliance through one (or a combination of any) of our four cost-effective compliance services:

To support your organisation to begin its ISO 27001 journey, Risk Crew offers the following services:

  • Gap Analysis: Your consultant will evaluate your current information risk management processes, operations, policies, and controls against the requirements of the standard. This will allow us to identify compliance gaps and deliver a detailed report outlining our findings and bespoke recommendations.
  • Activities Roadmap: Based on the gap analysis, you will receive a practical roadmap that outlines specific actions for compliance, assigns responsibility to action owners, sets target completion dates and provides estimated budget requirements.
  • Stakeholder Workshop: Upon completion of the above, a half-day workshop for key business stakeholders will be conducted to ensure their understanding of the remedial actions needed for compliance and the estimated resources and timeline required.

Together, these steps provide a clear understanding of ISO 27001 and what your organisation needs to do to meet its requirements.

Our Assist service offers all deliverables from our Discover service, plus the following:

  • Identify, Locate and Classify Assets: Risk Crew will review your business model and interview your key business stakeholders to identify, locate and value the sensitive information assets processed, stored and transmitted by your organisation.
  • Craft Data Classification Schemes: We develop clear marking schemes for secure handling, aligning with regulations like Data Protection.
  • Create Comprehensive Asset Register: Information assets will be documented, citing their sensitivity level, ownership, and IT system locations. The register becomes your risk management inventory.
  • Thorough Threat and Risk Assessment: Risk Crew's analysis uncovers threats, predicts impacts, and prescribes solutions, presented in a practical Risk Treatment Plan.
  • Stakeholder Strategy Workshop: Collaborating with key stakeholders, we will clarify assessment results and define your information risk stance.
  • Tailored ISMS Documentation: We will go ahead to use a bespoke ISMS template developed by our in-house consultants to draft a relevant Statement of Applicability, adaptable Security Policies, and Procedures.
  • Simulation Audit: Ready for the real deal? Risk Crew will perform a mock audit, delivering a compliance report to pave your certification path.

This service provides the framework essential for compliance and is ideal for organisations that have operational resources but specifically lack in-house information security risk management expertise.

Our Implement service offers all the deliverables from both our Discover and Assist services, and the items below. This popular service comes with our 100% guarantee that you will pass your compliance audit.

  • Fit-for-Purpose ISMS Documentation for your Business: This includes a compliance-specific Statement of Applicability (SoA) along with bespoke information security policies and procedures for your organisation.
  • Control recommendations: This includes recommendations on control objectives, control configuration (if required), control evidence, and control testing procedures.
  • Conduct Network and Website Security Vulnerability Assessment Scanning: This service is accompanied by an automated vulnerability assessment scanning to identify security weaknesses associated with your business systems and websites
  • Implement Information Security Awareness Training Program: Risk Crew will provide computer-based information security awareness training to your staff to ensure their understanding of cyber security threats to the business. Face-to-face workshops with cyber security experts are also available in lieu of or to supplement this training, depending on your preference.
  • Conduct ISMS Workshop with Stakeholders to Ensure Understanding, Roles and Responsibilities: Upon completion of the above, Risk Crew will hold a full-day workshop with your key business stakeholders to ensure their comprehensive understanding of the ISMS, its goals and objectives, key performance indicators (KPIs), staff responsibilities and ongoing actions required to support it.

This comprehensive service provides everything you need for your ISO 27001 compliance and is designed for organisations looking for a cost-effective, turn-key solution. If, for any reason, any additional remedial actions are required for certification, we will implement these actions at no charge to you.

If your organisation is already ISO 27001 compliant, you’ll know that achieving compliance is just the beginning — the real challenge lies in maintaining it.

Risk Crew can support you in meeting this challenge with a range of ongoing services, including regular risk assessments, vulnerability scanning, testing, and information security awareness training. We also offer continuous, ad-hoc guidance to answer your questions, clarify requirements, and help ensure your organisation remains on track with compliance.

The first step is to define the scope of ISO 27001 compliance. This could be the whole company or just a part of it. Once the scope has been defined, there is usually a gap analysis to see what information security infrastructure is already in place and what is required to align it with the ISO 27001 standard. Additional workstreams would address any gaps identified and will look to build an Information Security Management System (ISMS) following ISO 27001 requirements.

Before an organisation can achieve ISO 27001 certification, it must first meet all the standard’s requirements and be able to demonstrate evidence of compliance. Certification involves a two-stage audit conducted by an accredited external ISO 27001 auditor:

  • Stage 1 focuses on reviewing the organisation’s documentation to ensure it aligns with the requirements of ISO 27001.

  • Stage 2 involves a more in-depth assessment, where the auditor verifies that the Information Security Management System (ISMS) is not only compliant on paper but is being effectively implemented in practice. This includes evaluating whether policies, procedures, and controls are being followed as documented.

The final audit report will confirm whether certification is granted and highlight any areas of nonconformity that must be addressed.

The ISO 27001 certification is valuable for any business, as it helps strengthen the three core pillars of cybersecurity: people, processes, and technology. It equips your organisation with the right framework and controls to minimise the risk of data breaches and the fines associated with them.

Achieving ISO 27001 compliance does require a meaningful investment of time and effort – but it’s an investment that delivers significant long-term value. Beyond meeting compliance requirements, the process drives overall improvements in how an organisation manages and protects its information assets.

Data breaches can be extremely costly – particularly when they involve personal or sensitive information. Under GDPR, organisations risk fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher. ISO 27001 compliance helps mitigate this risk by establishing a robust, proactive approach to information security.

The time it takes to achieve ISO 27001 compliance will depend on the size of the organisation and its current level of information security maturity. If there’s little to no existing security framework in place, the process will naturally take longer. However, if the organisation already has policies and procedures that simply need to be aligned with the standard, the journey to compliance can be much quicker.

There are multiple benefits to becoming ISO 27001 compliant in addition to improving the organisation's security posture. Many government departments and agencies, as well as banks and financial institutions, require ISO 27001 certification as a prerequisite for awarding contracts. It can also serve as a strong differentiator, setting your organisation apart from competitors by demonstrating a clear commitment to information security best practices.

The cost of the ISO 27001 will factor in the size of the business, number of employees, sector and annual turnover. The cost of the certification will also vary depending on how you decide to implement it, which could vary depending on whether you use a contractor or a consultant. Risk Crew offers a variety of consultancy options to help you gain and maintain compliance.
