ISO 27001 in months, not years.
Full ISO 27001:2022 implementation for startups and mid-market — from gap assessment to Stage 2 audit, with continuous compliance automation via Drata, Vanta, or Secureframe. Designed for teams that want the cert without the consultancy fluff.
ISO 27001 is the global Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard required by most global enterprise procurement. We implement the management system, evidence collection, and audit prep — automated via Drata/Vanta so it stays compliant after we leave.
- ·Gap assessment against ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls (~93 controls)
- ·Implementation roadmap with timeline, RACI, and budget
- ·ISMS documentation (policies, procedures, risk register, Statement of Applicability)
- ·Continuous compliance setup (Drata/Vanta/Secureframe integration)
- ·Internal audit + management review (one cycle minimum)
- ·Stage 1 + Stage 2 audit preparation with the registrar
- ·Post-cert handover: how to maintain in-house
- ◇Drata or Vanta or Secureframe (compliance automation)
- ◇AWS Config / GCP SCC / Azure Policy (cloud controls)
- ◇JIRA / Linear (CAPA tracking)
- ◇Notion / Confluence (ISMS documentation)
- ◇Vendor questionnaire library (Whistic, OneTrust)
Map current state to Annex A. Identify gaps, quick wins, longer projects.
Define ISMS scope, draft policies + procedures, write Risk Register + SoA.
Implement technical + administrative controls. Wire Drata/Vanta evidence collection.
Run internal audit against the ISMS. Remediate findings. Management review.
Documentation review with the registrar. Address findings.
On-site (or remote) controls audit. Certification granted.
- ◆ISO 27001:2022
- ◆ISO 27017 (cloud) — extension
- ◆ISO 27018 (privacy) — extension
- ◆SOC 2 (high overlap, often pursued in parallel)
- ◆India SPDI rules + DPDPA — mapped controls
Implementation Roadmap: phased plan with control-by-control RACI, target dates, evidence owner, and tooling. Plus Statement of Applicability document showing every Annex A control with status (implemented / partially / not applicable + rationale).
How long does ISO 27001 take realistically?+
4-6 months from kickoff to certified for a small startup if you start with reasonable hygiene. 9-12 months if you are starting from zero documentation.
Drata, Vanta, or Secureframe — which do you recommend?+
Drata for stronger engineering UX, Vanta for stronger sales narrative + customer trust pages, Secureframe for cost. We are agnostic — we use what you already have or recommend based on your stack.
Can you also handle the audit?+
No — the audit must be done by an accredited registrar (BSI, TUV, DNV, etc., or Indian options like ASCB/EQA). We prep you and run interference during the audit.
How does this differ from SOC 2?+
ISO 27001 is global; SOC 2 is US-centric. ISO is point-in-time + ISMS-driven; SOC 2 is observation-window-driven. They share ~70% of controls; teams often pursue both within 12 months.
What happens after certification?+
Annual surveillance audit (lighter) for 2 years, then full re-cert in year 3. We can do annual maintenance or you can run it in-house after our handover.
