FAQs

How long does it typically take to achieve ISO certification?

Most organizations will take approximately six months if they’re starting with nothing to being ready for a certification audit. To shorten that timeline, an organization can use an ISO consultant, a GRC platform, or both.

If an organization has an audit similar to a SOC 2 Type 2, they will be approximately 60% of the way toward achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification. An organization without appropriate resources (staffing and personnel bandwidth) may require more time.

What can my organization expect during the ISO 27001 audit process?

The ISO certification is conducted in two stages. Stage 1 is essentially ensuring an organization has the required items in place prior to the Stage 2 (or Certification) audit. Before to the Stage 1, an organization should conduct an Internal Audit. Smaller organizations often get outside support for their Internal Audit because if they have people on staff who are knowledgeable on the standard, they’re usually involved in their Information Security Management System (ISMS).

How long does an ISO 27001 certification remain valid?

The ISO 27001 certification is good for three years from the certification issuance date.

What are the key advantages of obtaining an ISO 27001 certification?

ISO 27001 is an international standard that is recognized globally. If an organization has clients outside of North America, ISO 27001 offers a great framework. If an organization has multiple systems within their management system, it should be easier and cheaper to get an ISO 27001 certification.

The ISO 27001 certification also provides a great demonstration of an organization’s information security posture.

Is ISO 27001 a mandatory requirement in the United States?

ISO 27001 certification is not required in the United States. It does meet some international requirements. For example, ISO 27001 certification meets the requirements of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for Digital Service Providers.

How does ISO 27001 align with other cybersecurity frameworks?

ISO 27001 aligns with SOC 2 Type II with an approximately 65% overlap.

Is a readiness assessment necessary to pursue ISO 27001 certification?

A readiness assessment isn’t required, but an internal audit is required every year. The internal audit is often conducted by an external third party.

The reason most companies get help with their internal audit is because the standard requires the internal auditor to be both competent on the standard, and independent from the operation of the management system.
