What ISO 27001 is

An ISMS your organization can run and improve

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for an information security management system (ISMS). Its core clauses cover context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement. Annex A lists 93 reference controls in four themes: organizational, people, physical and technological.

Certification comes from an accredited certification body, not from a consultant. Triden prepares you. We run the gap analysis, help you design and document the ISMS, support your remediation and take you through an internal audit before the certification body arrives.

What’s included

ISO 27001 consulting from gap analysis to audit

ISO 27001 gap analysis

Every clause and Annex A control compared with your current practice, with a prioritized gap list.

ISMS scope and context

We define the scope, interested parties and objectives your ISMS will cover.

Risk assessment and treatment

A documented risk methodology, risk assessment and risk treatment plan.

Risk assessment

Statement of Applicability

Which Annex A controls apply, why, and how each one is implemented.

Policies and controls

Policies and procedures written for you, with our engineers available for technical controls.

Internal audit and review

An internal audit and management review so the ISMS is operating before certification.

How it works

Your path to ISO 27001 certification

1

Gap analysis

We assess your organization against the standard and agree on scope and a realistic timeline.

2

Build the ISMS

Risk assessment, Statement of Applicability, policies and controls are put in place and start producing records.

3

Internal audit

We audit the ISMS as a certification auditor would and help you correct findings and hold a management review.

4

Certification audit

Your accredited certification body performs its stage 1 and stage 2 audits while we support your team.

ISO 27001 vs SOC 2

ISO 27001 vs SOC 2: which do you need?

Both show customers you protect their data, and much of the control work overlaps. The right choice depends mostly on who is asking. ISO 27001 is common with international customers. SOC 2 is most often requested by US customers.

Because the controls overlap, we map them once. Many organizations achieve one and then add the other with far less effort.

Two ways to prove security

Each is issued by a different kind of independent body.

  • ISO 27001: certification of your ISMS by an accredited certification body
  • ISO 27001: three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits
  • SOC 2: attestation report on your controls by an independent CPA firm
  • SOC 2: Type 1 at a point in time, Type 2 over a period

AI management systems

Adding AI governance with ISO 42001

ISO/IEC 42001 is the management system standard for artificial intelligence. It follows the same structure as ISO 27001, so organizations with an ISMS can extend it to cover how they build, buy and use AI.

FAQ

ISO 27001 questions

A consultant helps you prepare for certification. That includes gap analysis, ISMS scoping, risk assessment, the Statement of Applicability, policies, control implementation and an internal audit. The certification itself comes from an accredited certification body.

It’s a review of your current security practices against every clause of the standard and the Annex A controls. You get a list of gaps, ranked by effort and importance, and a plan to close them.

It depends on your starting point and scope. Organizations with mature security practices move faster, while others need more time to build and run the ISMS before an auditor can see it working.

Cost depends on your scope, the number of locations and systems, how many gaps need work and how much documentation you already have. The certification body’s audit fees are separate from our preparation work. We give you a fixed proposal after scoping.

Choose the one your customers ask for. ISO 27001 is common internationally and SOC 2 in the US. Because the controls overlap, many organizations achieve one and then add the other with far less effort.

No. Only an accredited certification body can certify you. Keeping preparation and certification separate is how the standard is meant to work.
