Audit & Compliance

ISO 27001 implementation facilitates the management of “sensitive assets” security of an organization. This could be financial data, staff information, intellectual property files, or data about the business partners. Meeting the requirements of this standard enables the company to protect itself against any loss, theft or alteration of its confidential data and any associated risks.

The key benefits of implementing ISO 27001 are:

• Secures your information in all forms
• Increase your attack resilience
• Reduce information security costs
• Respond to evolving security threats
• Offers organization-wide protection
• Protects confidentiality of data

An ISO 27001 Gap Assessment also known sometimes as Compliance Assessment or Pre-Assessment is an assessment that provides a high-level overview of your organization’s current security posture. The assessment and report serve as a guide to organizations for achieving ISO 27001 certification. The assessment involves comparing the organization’s existing information security controls against the requirements of ISO 27001. The Gap Analysis measures the current state of compliance against the Standard and scopes the organization’s ISMS parameters across all business functions. It provides companies with the necessary information and recommendations of controls that may need to be implemented to close the gaps. The Gap Analysis helps companies understand the best way to improve and streamline their internal information security management systems to ensure they meet the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard

It is the ideal solution for organizations that need to measure their current state of compliance against the Standard and enables you to scope your ISMS parameters across all business functions.
