ISO 27001 CERTIFICATION
(Information Security Management Systems Certification)
What is ISO 27001 Certification?
ISO 27001 is an international standard on how to manage information security.
Why should you implement ISO 27001 Certification?
It is more important than ever to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and valuable assets you hold internally and on behalf of others, as nothing can be left to risk any more. Without the appropriate processes, controls and procedures in place any company can become a cyber victim or target.
ISO 27001 certification helps you present the best image for your business, by demonstrating to your suppliers, clients and staff, that your company has invested in the best industry Information Management System Certification.
Whilst ISO27001 is suitable for any size of organisation, it is vitally important to specific industries and sectors who must adhere to compliance regulations set by their organisation or parent company. Whether you are in the finance, health, public sector or a large commercial organisation this is a global Information Security standard that will set you apart from your competitors and win you more clients or business quickly.
In the past this accreditation would take anything from a few months to a year or more to complete due to the co-ordination of data and documents going backwards and forwards. This is now a streamlined process via BlueShield IT as we can help your company achieve this compliance goal much quicker than before using our trusted in house software, which controls everything from start to finish.
Achieving ISO 27001 means that your customers can see you are serious about Information Security and they can therefore rely on the integrity of your information security.

What is the process for ISO 27001 Certification assessment?
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS CERTIFICATION ASSESSMENT PROCESS
BlueShield IT ISM GAP ANALYSIS
An initial 1 day remote or on-site gap analysis should be carried out prior to kicking off the ISO27001 project, to help quickly identify any issues that could affect the preparation for certification.
PHASE 1
The organisation's documented system is formally evaluated against the requirements of the selected management system standard(s) in order to establish readiness for the stage 2 audit. Following the assessment, a detailed written report is forwarded to the organization, which includes any findings.
PHASE 2
A site assessment is carried out to verify that the system documentation is being followed and that the requirements of the selected management system standard(s) are being met in practice. During the visit, any non-conformances raised will be explained and recorded. At the end of the assessment, the auditor will report any findings and explain the procedure for dealing with any non-conformances. A full written report will follow.
REGISTRATION
Following the site assessment, the organization will be sent an audit report, which will include the recommended decision on registration. If the organisation is granted approval and recommendation for certification, the certificate will be issued. Approval will be delayed if any non-conformances have been raised. Once these have been closed, certification will be granted.
CONTINUED CERTIFICATION
Certification is valid for three years and maintained through a programme of annual surveillance audits to ensure continuing compliance. Your first surveillance audit will be due six months after the date of registration. Your recertification audit will be conducted in the third year of certification, three months prior to the expiry of certification.
