How does an ISO 27001 audit work?
To receive ISO 27001 certification, your organisation must first complete an ISO 27001 audit. During the audit, one of our auditors tests whether your organisation meets all the requirements. Using three steps, the information security management system is assessed. The first step is the preliminary audit. In this phase, the auditor checks whether all required components are present. If all documentation is in order, then the ISO 27001 audit is scheduled. During the audit, the auditor checks whether the management system is properly implemented. Does your organisation meet all the requirements for ISO 27001 certification? Then the audit report and certificate will follow, within a few weeks.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security. It helps organisations establish, implement, and maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Achieving ISO 27001 demonstrates that your organisation takes a structured and proactive approach to managing information security risks.
Then you’ll go through a process with several clear steps. It starts with gathering information about your organization. Next comes a risk analysis: what kind of information do you collect, how is it stored, and where are the potential vulnerabilities in your system? For example, the analysis might show that your system is easy to hack. The accompanying report will then outline specific improvement measures.
Documentation also plays a key role. You need to demonstrate that you have a clear policy and well-defined procedures in place. This proves you have control over your information management system and that you're committed to continuous improvement.
Since you’re not allowed to audit yourself, regular external audits are essential. There are specialists who can take care of this for you. After each audit, you’ll receive a clear report with any points for improvement. These findings can also be explained in person if needed.
ISO 27001 certification proves that your organization manages information security effectively. It builds trust with clients and partners, ensures compliance with laws and regulations, improves internal processes, and provides a competitive advantage in tenders and audits.
Costs depend on several factors, such as the number of employees, locations, and the complexity of your processes. We’re happy to provide a tailored quote that reflects your organisation’s specific needs.
ISO 27001 is internationally recognized. With this certificate, you demonstrate that you handle sensitive information securely and professionally—no matter where you operate. The certification is valid for three years. During this period, several audits are carried out to check whether your system still meets the standard.
After three years, a recertification follows. Your system is reassessed and—if everything is in order—the certificate is renewed for another three years. This way, you continue to prove that your information security is under control.
