ISO 27001 Certification Support. We are in the room with you.
The certification audit is where everything comes together. We attend your Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits as technical advisors, manage any non-conformities raised, and support your ongoing surveillance programme so your certificate never lapses.
Six certification capabilities. From Stage 1 to surveillance.
Stage 1 Audit Support
We attend your Stage 1 documentation review as technical advisors, answering auditor questions, providing evidence, and managing any observations raised before Stage 2.
Stage 2 Audit Support
We attend your Stage 2 certification audit in person, supporting your team through auditor interviews, evidence requests, and any non-conformities raised during the audit.
Non-Conformity Response
If your certification body raises non-conformities, we manage the corrective action response, producing root cause analysis and evidence of correction within the required timeframe.
Certification Body Selection
We help you select the right UKAS-accredited certification body for your sector and size, and manage the application and scheduling process on your behalf.
Surveillance Audit Management
ISO 27001 requires annual surveillance audits. We manage your ongoing surveillance programme, preparing your ISMS for each audit and attending as technical advisors.
Three-Year Recertification
ISO 27001 certificates expire after three years. We manage your recertification programme, ensuring your ISMS is ready for the full recertification audit cycle.
From certification body selection to ongoing surveillance. Six structured steps.
Certification Body Selection
We review your options, recommend the most suitable UKAS-accredited certification body for your sector, and manage the application process.
Stage 1 Preparation
We prepare your documentation pack for Stage 1 review, conduct a final documentation check, and brief your team on what to expect from the auditor.
Stage 1 Audit Attendance
We attend your Stage 1 audit as technical advisors, answering auditor questions and managing any observations raised before Stage 2 is scheduled.
Stage 2 Preparation
We prepare your team for Stage 2 interviews, conduct mock audit sessions, and ensure all evidence is organised and accessible for the auditor.
Stage 2 Audit Attendance
We attend your Stage 2 certification audit in person, supporting your team through the day and managing any non-conformities raised by the auditor.
Certificate and Ongoing Surveillance
Once certified, we manage your ongoing surveillance programme, keeping your ISMS current and preparing you for each annual surveillance audit.
Organisations that achieved certification. With us in the room.
Payments processor certification
A UK payments processor needed ISO 27001 certification to satisfy a major banking client requirement. We supported them through Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits with LRQA, attending both audits as technical advisors. They achieved certification with zero non-conformities at Stage 2.
Managed service provider certification
A UK managed service provider needed ISO 27001 certification to win public sector contracts. We managed their entire certification programme from gap analysis to certificate, attending both audits and managing their ongoing surveillance programme for 3 years.
Health tech startup certification
A UK health tech startup needed ISO 27001 certification within 6 months to satisfy an NHS procurement requirement. We fast-tracked their programme, attending both audits and managing the non-conformity response that arose at Stage 1, achieving certification within the required window.
100 percent first-attempt certification success rate. We keep it that way.
Every client we have supported through their ISO 27001 certification audit has achieved certification on their first attempt. We attend as technical advisors, manage non-conformities, and keep your certificate current through ongoing surveillance.
