Can we just buy the templates and do it ourselves?

By |2025-05-25T21:46:16+01:00May 25th, 2025||

Templates are just the starting point. ISO 27001 requires specific parts of your ISMS to be documented, and our templates cover all these requirements. However, you also get detailed guidance on how to customise them for your business, plus access to our training portal explaining what each document does and why it's needed. Most importantly, templates alone won't get you certified - you need the implementation support, staff training, internal audits, and expert guidance to ensure everything works together as a complete management system.
