What is the purpose of ISO 27001?

The requirements of ISO 27001

The Standard uses a structure of ten clauses called Annex SL. These can be grouped into four key areas:

Context and leadershipUnderstand what could affect your information security and define your objectives. Senior leaders need to take ownership, setting the direction and showing commitment to security.
Planning and risk managementIdentify risks to your information and plan how to manage them. This includes setting measurable goals and preparing for unexpected incidents that could threaten your business.
Support and operationsMake sure your team has the tools, training, and resources to do their part. This is where your security policies and procedures are put into practice across day-to-day operations.
Performance and improvementReview what’s working and what’s not. Regular checks, audits and reviews help you stay compliant, make improvements, and keep your system effective over time.

Common Questions

About ISO 27001

If your business handles data (and let’s face it, most do), ISO 27001 is a smart move. It’s designed for any organisation — from lean startups to global giants — that wants to show it takes information security seriously.

ISO 27001 is built around a set of core clauses. These cover everything from setting up your Information Security Management System (ISMS) to keeping it running smoothly. Here’s a quick breakdown of the key requirements:

  • Leadership involvement: Your senior team needs to take ownership of information security.
  • Planning and risk assessment: Identify what needs protecting and where the risks are.
  • Support and resources: Make sure you’ve got the right people, tools and training in place.
  • Security controls: Implement policies and measures to protect both digital and physical information.
  • Performance checks: Monitor how things are working and fix what’s not.
  • Continual improvement: Keep making things better over time.

No, ISO 27001 isn’t a legal requirement, but it can help organisations comply with legal requirements like GDPR. It’s especially useful for businesses that process or store sensitive data and want to reduce risk. Some clients and suppliers even require certification as part of their contracts.

With the right support, it can be quicker than you think. From your first visit through to certification, the journey can take as little as 45 days — although it does depend on the size and complexity of your organisation.

The price for your ISO 27001 will depend on the size and complexity of your organisation. The best way to find out? Get a tailored quote based on your business.

The initial certificate will last for one year. After a successful recertification audit, you’ll receive a three-year certificate. To keep it active during that time, you’ll need to complete one annual audit.

The current version of ISO 27001 is ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

No. ISO certification is for organisations, not individuals. But individuals can take training to understand and implement the Standard.

Big or small, public or private — ISO/IEC 27001 works for everyone. From startups to global enterprises, charities to government bodies, any organisation that handles data can benefit from showing they take information security seriously.

The best way? Start with a simple plan. We recommend:

  • Identifying your key information assets
  • Assessing any risks
  • Putting controls and policies in place
  • Getting help from experts (like us!) to guide you through to certification
