Define the ISMS boundary
Identify business services, locations, systems, information, interested parties and dependencies within scope.
Practical ISO/IEC 27001:2022 guidance from experienced cybersecurity, risk and compliance specialists.
Vectra helps organisations establish, improve and maintain an Information Security Management System—from initial scoping and gap assessment through risk treatment, internal audit, management review and independent certification readiness.
ISO/IEC 27001 provides the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an ISMS. It helps organisations manage information-security risk systematically across people, processes, technology and suppliers.
Identify business services, locations, systems, information, interested parties and dependencies within scope.
Identify threats, vulnerabilities, consequences and existing controls using a repeatable risk methodology.
Select and justify controls, assign ownership and document treatment through the Statement of Applicability.
Monitor objectives, audit performance, review changes and correct weaknesses throughout the certification cycle.
Assess current governance, risk practices, documentation, controls and evidence against ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
Define organisational context, interested parties, scope boundaries, dependencies and information-security objectives.
Establish methodology, complete risk assessment and develop a practical, owned risk-treatment plan.
Explore security assessments →Create or refine policies, procedures, roles, governance, metrics, registers and evidence requirements.
Select, justify and record applicable Annex A controls while connecting them to risk treatment and implementation evidence.
Independently test whether the ISMS conforms to organisational requirements and ISO/IEC 27001 and is effectively implemented.
Prepare evidence, address nonconformities, support management review and ready stakeholders for Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits.
Build role-aware security understanding and support the competence and awareness obligations of the ISMS.
Explore awareness training →Maintain registers, evidence, objectives, risk reviews, audit programmes and continual improvement after certification.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the current published edition. Amendment 1:2024 adds climate-action considerations to the organisation’s context and interested-party requirements. Organisations must determine whether climate change is relevant to the ISMS and consider relevant interested-party requirements.
The Statement of Applicability records which controls are necessary, why they are included or excluded and their implementation status.
Governance, policy, responsibilities, suppliers, cloud services, incidents, continuity and compliance.
Annex A.5Screening, employment responsibilities, awareness, disciplinary processes and remote working.
Annex A.6Physical boundaries, secure areas, equipment, media, utilities, monitoring and secure disposal.
Annex A.7Identity, access, endpoint, cryptography, networks, development, logging, monitoring and resilience.
Annex A.8Vectra can implement the ISMS, provide readiness services and conduct internal audits. Formal certification is performed by an independent accredited certification body.
Vectra works with management and control owners to establish a practical ISMS and identify issues before the external certification audit.
The certification body independently audits the ISMS and determines whether certification can be issued and maintained.
Vectra combines governance and assurance capability with technical security, managed services, architecture and testing experience. This helps ensure the ISMS reflects the actual environment—not just the documentation.
Policies, processes and evidence designed around real teams, systems and business priorities.
Security specialists who understand cloud, endpoint, identity, network, development and managed operations.
Clear findings and evidence-based assessment without overstating compliance readiness.
Align ISO 27001 with PCI DSS, CPS 234, Essential Eight, NIST and customer assurance requirements.
Access assessment, awareness, penetration testing and cybersecurity implementation capability.
Support risk reviews, evidence, internal audits, objectives and continual improvement after certification.
Understand the organisation, scope, stakeholders, systems and current maturity.
Complete gap and risk assessments and define the implementation roadmap.
Establish governance, controls, documentation, evidence and operational processes.
Conduct internal audit, management review and corrective-action follow-up.
Support certification readiness and maintain the ISMS through continual improvement.
