Gain ISO 27001 Certification with Sapphire

ISO 27001 is a rigorous information security management framework that helps organisations mature to high-performance levels. It is one of the most stringent standards.

With over two decades of experience, Sapphire can help you achieve the best practice certification on information security, cyber security and privacy – ISO/IEC 27001.

Sapphire’s information security consultants’ team can assist you in creating an Information Security Framework (ISMS – Information Security Management System) that achieves the international de-facto standard of best practice.

ISO 27002:2022

The revision to ISO 27002:2022 has both modernised and simplified the controls and associated processes to be established. The standard has also been revised to suit all organisations (public, private or voluntary sectors) irrespective of size.

Sapphire’s business consultancy team has developed revised templates and generic policies to enable organisations to improve their security arrangements in line with the standard’s requirements and speed up the process towards certification.

The revised ISO 27002 has four themes.

The first theme is on Organisational Controls, primarily focusing on Information Security Governance responsibilities covering topics like:

Threat intelligence
Risk management
Incident management
Supplier relationships

Benefits of ISO 27001 Certification

Ability to meet tender security requirements: Tenders increasingly demand ISO 27001 certification as proof that you are trusted worthy; otherwise, you may be excluded from submitting a tender application for services.
Providing stakeholder assurance on your security posture: An ISO certification is a recognised way of proving your commitment to the best information security, cybersecurity, and privacy practices. Certification is respected by regulatory bodies (like the Information Commissioner’s Office); legal entities; and external auditors.
Demonstrates senior management’s commitment: As the threat landscape expands and digital transformation increases, organisations must adopt the best practice standard to manage their information and cybersecurity risks and establish appropriate security controls. The organisation’s Management Team or Information Security Forum will be subject to annual surveillance audits over three years before re-certification by gaining ISO certification. This robust process ensures that an organisation is continuously monitoring for constant vigilance.
