Certify & comply
ISO 27001 Consultancy
A practical route to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, with an information security management system your team will actually use.
Overview
ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management. Certification shows customers, partners and tenders that you manage information risk in a structured, audited way.
I help you scope the ISMS sensibly, build only the documentation you need, and embed controls into how you already work, so certification is the start of better security rather than a paperwork exercise.
Ideal for
- Organisations responding to customer or tender requirements
- Businesses handling sensitive client or personal data
- Teams moving from ISO 27001:2013 or an informal approach

Frequently asked questions
Do you issue the ISO 27001 certificate?
No. Certification must be carried out by an independent certification body, ideally UKAS-accredited. I prepare you for the audit and support you through it, which keeps the advice independent.
How long does ISO 27001 take?
Most organisations take 6–12 months from gap analysis to certification. Smaller scopes with existing good practice can move faster.
Can you maintain the ISMS after certification?
Yes. Ongoing support can cover internal audits, management reviews and surveillance audit preparation, often as part of a virtual CISO arrangement.
