ISO 27001 Framework Explained

ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security management. It provides a structured framework for protecting sensitive company data such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details, and customer data from theft, loss, or unauthorised access.

 

The standard helps organisations systematically manage risks related to information security by creating an Information Security Management System (ISMS). An ISMS is a set of policies, procedures, and controls designed to safeguard information in all forms, whether digital, paper-based, or otherwise.

 

Organisations can achieve ISO 27001 certification by passing an independent audit that verifies their ISMS meets the standard’s requirements. In practice, ISO 27001 demonstrates that a business manages data securely, reduces risks, and builds trust with clients, partners, and stakeholders.

ISO 27001 Implementation Steps

Implementing ISO 27001 starts with defining your scope and objectives. This means deciding which parts of your business, systems, and data the Information Security Management System (ISMS) will cover. Once the scope is clear, you’ll identify internal and external requirements, assign roles, and secure management support, the foundation for any successful project.

​

Next, conduct a risk assessment to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to your information assets. From there, create a risk treatment plan and map each risk to relevant Annex A controls. Develop the necessary policies and procedures to address these risks, covering areas such as access control, incident response, and business continuity.

​

Finally, move into implementation, training, and audit readiness. Ensure staff understand their responsibilities, gather evidence for compliance, and perform an internal audit to verify that controls are working. A management review should follow to confirm readiness before the certification audit. Continuous improvement then keeps your ISMS effective long after certification.

Common ISO 27001 Issues

Many organisations face common ISO 27001 implementation challenges, especially when starting from scratch. Projects often fail due to unclear scope, weak leadership, or lack of resources. To succeed, teams need structure, buy-in, and simple, consistent documentation.

Typical issues include:

​

  • Poorly defined ISMS scope or unclear boundaries

  • Limited management commitment and unclear roles

  • Overcomplicated or inconsistent risk assessments

  • Documentation that’s too complex or incomplete

  • Missing new 2022 controls (e.g., Threat Intelligence, DLP, Secure Coding)

  • Scattered audit evidence and untrained internal auditors

  • Little staff awareness or long-term ISMS maintenance

​

A ready-made ISO 27001 toolkit like ours saves time, ensures structure, and helps you get certified faster, without the consultant price tag.

What’s New in ISO 27001:2022

The ISO 27001:2022 update modernises the standard to reflect today’s cybersecurity landscape. While the overall framework remains the same, the changes make implementation clearer and more relevant to modern risks such as cloud security, remote working, and threat intelligence. The aim is to make information security more adaptive, streamlined, and business-focused.

​

One of the biggest changes is within Annex A, where the number of controls has been reduced from 114 to 93. These controls are now grouped into four themes, Organisational, People, Physical, and Technological making it easier to structure and manage security measures. The 2022 version also introduces 11 new controls covering areas like data masking, information deletion, secure coding, and threat intelligence.

​

Additionally, documentation and risk management processes have been simplified to reduce duplication and complexity. Organisations can now align their ISMS more closely with other ISO standards, like ISO 9001 or 22301, thanks to the updated structure. Overall, ISO 27001:2022 helps businesses maintain strong, efficient, and up-to-date security practices that better protect modern digital environments.

ISO 27001 Frequently Asked Questions

Why should my organisation get ISO 27001 certified?

Certification proves that your organisation follows internationally recognised best practices for information security. It builds trust with clients and partners, supports compliance with laws like GDPR, and can give you a competitive edgein bids, contracts, and supplier approvals.

​

Who needs ISO 27001 certification?

Any organisation that handles confidential, financial, or personal information can benefit from SMEs and start-ups to large enterprises. Many clients and industries (especially tech, finance, healthcare, and government) now require ISO 27001 certification as part of supplier due diligence.

​

How long does it take to become ISO 27001 certified?

It typically takes 3–6 months for smaller organisations and 6–12 months for larger ones. The timeline depends on your scope, existing processes, and how quickly your team can implement the required documentation and controls. Using a toolkit can reduce this time dramatically.

​

How much does ISO 27001 certification cost?

Costs vary depending on your organisation’s size and complexity, but certification audits usually range from £3,000 to £10,000. However, the biggest cost is often the time spent preparing which is why many organisations use pre-built ISO 27001 toolkits to save time and consultancy fees.

​

Do I need a consultant to get certified?

Not necessarily. Many businesses achieve certification using a structured toolkit or internal team. Consultants can help if you need extra support, but toolkits (like CompliKit’s) provide templates and guidance that make DIY certification much faster and more affordable.

​

Is ISO 27001 the same as Cyber Essentials?

No. Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification covering basic technical security (firewalls, passwords, etc.), while ISO 27001 is a comprehensive management system for all aspects of information security including people, processes, and technology.

​

How often do we need to renew ISO 27001 certification?

Certification lasts three years, but you’ll need to complete annual surveillance audits to demonstrate continued compliance and improvement. At the end of the three years, a full recertification audit is required.

 

What happens during the certification audit?

An external auditor reviews your ISMS documentation, interviews staff, and checks evidence that controls are working. They’ll look for compliance, effectiveness, and continual improvement. Once you pass, you receive your ISO 27001 certificate.​

​

How does ISO 27001 support GDPR compliance?

ISO 27001 complements GDPR by providing a structured way to manage and protect personal data. Controls around access, encryption, and data retention directly support GDPR requirements helping reduce the risk of fines and data breaches.

​

What evidence do we need for the audit?

Auditors look for proof that policies are implemented and enforced such as risk management, training records, incident response, access reviews, and audit reports. It’s not about the number of documents, but the quality and traceability of your evidence.
