Our ISO27001 Advantage programme is specifically designed to make ISO 27001 certification straightforward for small businesses. Led by ISO 27001 experts who have helped dozens of organisations achieve certification successfully.
Unlike traditional consulting that charges by the hour with no guarantee of success, our fixed-price programme includes everything you need from initial assessment through to certification.
What’s Included in ISO27001 Advantage?
Clear Roadmap and Guidance
We provide you with a structured roadmap that outlines the step-by-step process of implementing ISO 27001 within your business. Our expert guidance ensures that you have a clear understanding of each phase, allowing you to progress smoothly and confidently toward certification within your timescale.
Template Documents and Training Portal
As part of the programme, you will have access to a comprehensive set of documents, policies, and procedures with step-by-step instructions on how to modify them for your business, saving months of development time. Our training portal provides clear explanations and instructional videos to ensure you understand what you’re implementing, not just copying documents blindly. These resources have been implemented into a number of businesses who have achieved certification.
Weekly Accountability Calls
Regular check-ins keep your project moving forward and address issues before they become roadblocks. Most ISO 27001 implementations fail due to lack of momentum – our weekly calls ensure consistent progress and provide immediate answers to questions as they arise. The regular check-ins keep you motivated, accountable, and on track towards your certification goal.
Internal Audit Support
You will need a full suite of internal audits to be able to progress to certification and our team ensures it meets auditor expectations while highlighting areas for improvement. This helps to identify any gaps before your certification audit, eliminating surprise failures. Our internal audit team is very experienced and provides an objective assessment of your ISMS.
Management Review Meetings
Our programme includes attendance at two Management Review meetings to ensure compliance with ISO 27001 standards. These meetings provide an opportunity for the organisation to review progress, discuss improvements, and demonstrate commitment to maintaining information security within the business. These meetings are often where implementations fail – we ensure they’re conducted correctly the first time.
Risk Management Meetings
We assist you in conducting two risk assessment meetings, which are a critical component of ISO 27001 compliance. Our experts will guide you through this process, helping you identify the most effective risk process for your business and then to document vulnerabilities, assess risks, and implement necessary controls to enhance your information security practices. Risk Management is a key part of the implementation process and it should be a simple to follow process.
Comprehensive Staff Training
Your entire team needs to understand their role in information security, creating genuine compliance rather than just documentation. We provide specific training so everyone from management to front-line staff knows their responsibilities and how to maintain and operate your ISMS.
Unlimited Email Support
Quick answers to questions prevent delays and ensures consistent implementation across your organisation. Rather than waiting for scheduled calls, you get prompt responses to keep your project moving and resolve issues as they occur.
BONUS - Personal Audit Support
Value £3000 – Included at no extra cost
We attend both your Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits with you, providing real-time expert guidance and support when it matters most. Most consultants charge extra for audit attendance or don’t offer it at all – we include it because we’re committed to your certification success and supporting you all the way to certification.
100% Certification Success Rate
Every client who has completed our ISO27001 Advantage programme has achieved certification on their first attempt. This isn’t luck – it’s the result of our proven approach, comprehensive support, and expert guidance throughout the entire process.
