What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised security standard that deals with Information Security Management. It’s a way of making sure your entire business is managing information security risks and data effectively. With cyber crime on the rise, it is now also becoming a common occurrence that businesses are required to comply to certifications such as ISO 27001 in order to win new business and grow.

ISO 27001 certification can be an intensive activity, with many organisations lacking the time or skills required to achieve it, and many preferring to work with a partner such as Wanstor to help with implementation and maintenance.

How can Wanstor help with ISO 27001 certification?

Our tried and tested methodology in successfully implementing and maintaining Information Security Management Systems will ensure your ISMS meets ISO 27001 standards and keeps your information protected from security threats.

Number One

Gap Analysis

Our ISO 27001 Lead Auditors cross-check your business against ISO 27001 controls to determine what (if anything) you currently have in place. We’ll produce a detailed Gap Analysis report for full visibility of your current posture.

Number Two

Internal Audit

This is a more detailed analysis of whether your business is actually adhering to the policies and processes you have in place and identifying areas of non-conformity and improvement opportunities. We help to define the scope for your ISO 27001 audit, interview key stakeholders, conduct a review of ISMS documentation, and make observations regarding how your ISMS is managed in practice. A full ISO 27001 Audit Report will be issued.

Number Three

ISMS into SharePoint

As a Microsoft Gold Partner and experts in SharePoint development, we can design and develop your ISMS solution using SharePoint - ideal for designing asset and risk registers and housing documentation such as policy documents, and simple to use.
