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.

Do I have to attend the weekly calls?

By |2025-05-25T21:44:38+01:00May 25th, 2025||

Yes, attendance at weekly calls is essential for programme success. The weekly calls keep your project on track, address issues before they become problems, and ensure you're progressing toward certification. Staff training is mandatory for ISO 27001 compliance - your team needs to understand their roles in information security. Our 100% success rate comes from clients who fully commit to the programme requirements, including these key actions.

Once you have received your certification, you need to continue to undertake the various requirements to meet the standard. One of the key elements of ISO27001 is continuous improvement so you will need to demonstrate that you continue to meet the required standard and improve your ISMS throughout the year.
