ISMS ISO27001
Audits

We bring a thorough and comprehensive approach to Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) to ensure your business is well-prepared for the ISO 27001 audit. We guide you through every step of securing your information assets so you can achieve certification with confidence.

Getting your organisation certified through a rigorous audit process sends a clear message that you take information security management seriously and are reaping the benefits that come with it, as well as capitalising on the business advantages.

We can’t overemphasise the importance of safeguarding those critical business records and assets, not just to keep tabs on them but to keep compliant with all the changing laws and regulatory requirements.

As a certified ISMS audit provider, our main goal is to assess the effectiveness of an organisation’s ISMS and identify gaps in security, recommending ways to improve.

Our in-depth ISMS assessment checks how well your organisation follows the internationally-recognised ISO/IEC 27001 standard, covering everything from your security policies to controls, procedures and internal audit process.

Your business will see a big boost in security, with identification of vulnerabilities and potential threats, along with the development of strategies to strengthen your security framework and keep on top of regulations – all of which reduces the risk of hefty fines and penalties.

The certification process includes both the audit and the support afterwards to make sure your organisation gets & keeps ISO 27001 certification, guiding you through every step of the way from ISMS design review, right through to surveillance audits and recertification.

Building trust with customers, partners and employees

One of the most valuable outcomes of a TechBrain ISMS audit is the boost in stakeholder confidence that comes from showing a real commitment to information security, including the development of a risk treatment plan as a key result of the audit that helps build trust with stakeholders.

This not only makes it easier to build trust with customers, partners and employees, but it also helps reinforce your business’s reputation in the industry at a whole.

Our ongoing support doesn’t stop at the audit itself – we offer post-audit assistance to help with implementing recommendations and regular reviews to keep you on top of compliance.

Our ISMS audits are bespoke & scalable, with a flexible pricing model that won’t disrupt your business operations and timely completion & reporting. Partner with TechBrain’s ISMS audit service to get your security and compliance goals on track.

ISO27001 is the widely-recognised industry standard for managing information security. It’s defined as a standard for info-security management systems.

Developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) & the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), ISO 27001 gives you a rock-solid framework for setting up, rolling out, looking after and continually fine tuning an Information Security Management System or ISMS for short.

The main aim of ISO 27001 is to give organisations a decent chance at keeping their most sensitive info (intellectual property, financial data, employee records, customer information etc) safe from all the risks and threats that are out there.

The standard lays out what specifically needs to be done to put an ISMS in place, and it’s applicable to every sector, regardless of whether your business is huge, small or somewhere in between.

To get an ISMS up and running under the ISO 27001 banner, you’ll need to go through the process of identifying and assessing the security risks that could be lurking on your doorstep, then put in place policies and procedures that’ll help you mitigate those risks as best you can. And finally, you’ll need to put in the technical and organisational measures that’ll actually keep your company’s assets safe, secure & available when you need them.

The main components of an ISMS

An ISMS – or Information Security Management System – is a practical approach to looking after and protecting sensitive company assets.

It involves a comprehensive set of policies, procedures, and technical measures that are tailored to fit a company’s specific risk profile.

Key elements of a well-functioning ISMS include:

Risk assessment: Sussing out, studying, and weighing up potential threats and vulnerabilities. This process is crucial because it helps you to come up with a Statement of Applicability and a Risk Treatment Plan. Both of these documents are vital for getting ISO 27001 certification.

Risk management process: This is a core part of an ISMS. It involves continually identifying, evaluating and mitigating risk, so that you can protect your supply chain and prove that you have a high level of competence in implementing ISO 27001.

Risk treatment: This is where you put in place the measures needed to reduce identified risks

Policies and procedures: Drawing up clear guidelines and protocols for information security.

Staff awareness and training: Educating staff on security best practices and what their part is when it comes to keeping company information secure.

Incident management: Spotting, dealing with and recovering from security breaches.

Continuously monitoring: Keeping tabs on how effective your security measures are.

Continually improving: Updating and refining your ISMS so it stays relevant and effective.

Getting ISO27001 certification shows the world that your company is committed to sound security practices, and that you want to build trust with customers, partners and other stakeholders.
