ready for our ISO 27001 audit in less than 6 months.
Good platform that gives you much of what you need out of the box. We were completely new to the ISO27k process but this combined with the support on offer helped us transform our processes to be more secure, to the benefit of all stakeholders involved with our company. It was easy to integrate HiComply into our organisation.
I really liked how everything was stored in one place and on a simple single screen. I also like the fact you get updates when there are documents there that haven't been reviewed. I have yet to need customer support for anything, but then again I'm only a user, not an administrator. I also really like how you can view / download / print documents all from the same viewer.
We love how easy Hicomply has made the journey towards ISO compliance so far. It automatically links controls to policies/procedures so you just have to worry about updating documents with the details relevant to you. Built asset and risk register are also very valuable and we are considering using these tools across the business. Also Zoe the consultant we have been working with has been extremely helpful with getting us onboarded and understanding on how to use the platform.
All company documents are in one place and new starters can review and agree in one location.
The business can confidently say they know their employees have read the documents and agreed.
Hicomply has completely transformed the way that we manage our ISO27001 certification. We purchased HiComply a few months before our re-certification was due for ISO27001:2022. Having previously been on the 2013 standard we needed to update all of our documentation. Zoe worked with us to set up everything up and show us how to use the platform most efficiently. She has been an amazing support to myself and my colleague as we navigated through this process. She made everything clear and easy to understand and was always on hand with any queries we had. She was also able to recommend some auditors for us. We have recently passed our audit and I have a lot to thank Zoe for, her attention and detail was second to none and this was genuinely the best software onbaording experience that I have had.
From our experts
ISO 27001 requires the implementation of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Key components include:
- Defining the ISMS scope.
- Conducting risk assessments and defining a risk treatment plan.
- Developing a Statement of Applicability for Annex A controls.
- Establishing policies and procedures for managing information security.
The process involves:
- Preparation: Understand the requirements and scope of ISO 27001.
- ISMS Implementation: Develop and implement controls and policies.
- Internal Audits: Conduct periodic reviews to ensure compliance.
- Certification Audits: Undergo external audits by accredited bodies to achieve certification.
Timelines vary depending on your organisation’s size and existing processes. Most organisations take between 6 to 12 months. Using compliance software like Hicomply can reduce this timeline significantly.
Compliance involves self-adherence to ISO 27001 standards, while certification requires verification by an external audit. Certification is recommended if you want to demonstrate credibility to customers and meet contractual or regulatory requirements.
The 2022 update strengthens security frameworks by:
- Simplifying implementation through consolidated control categories, reducing redundancies.
- Emphasising adaptability to new threats with controls for business continuity, physical security monitoring, and incident response.
- Enabling organisations to better manage supply chain risks, aligning with an increasingly interconnected digital environment.
ISO 27001:2022 introduces updates to reflect modern security challenges, emphasising risk-based thinking and alignment with newer technologies. Key differences include:
- Integration of updated Annex A controls based on ISO 27002:2022, grouped into four themes: organisational, people, physical, and technological.
- Simplified and consolidated controls, reducing the total number from 114 to 93, with new additions like threat intelligence and data masking.
- Enhanced focus on operational resilience, supplier relationships, and cloud security to address emerging business environments.
ISO 27001:2022 helps compliance officers address current security risks more effectively while demonstrating a proactive commitment to safeguarding information assets. Benefits include:
- Relevance: Incorporates controls tailored for today’s technological landscape, such as cloud adoption and supply chain complexities.
- Credibility: Signals an organisation’s dedication to maintaining best practices in information security.
- Competitive Edge: Adopting the latest standard reassures stakeholders and clients of your commitment to compliance and risk management.
Successful implementation involves:
- Gap Analysis: Comparing current ISMS against updated requirements to identify areas needing improvement.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Ensuring leadership buy-in and cross-department collaboration to embed a security culture.
- Control Updates: Transitioning to the new Annex A controls and incorporating relevant additions like secure software development.
- Training: Providing comprehensive staff training to ensure understanding and adherence to the updated requirements.
- Continuous Improvement: Establishing mechanisms to regularly monitor, review, and adapt the ISMS to evolving risks.
Certification is an ongoing process that requires regular audits, continual ISMS updates, and evidence of compliance improvements.
