Every organisation faces information security risks. ISO 27001 shows you how to manage them effectively.
Adoption of ISO 27001 continues to grow worldwide
ISO 27001 is the international standard for establishing, implementing and maintaining an information security management system (ISMS).
According to the latest ISO Survey, 96,709 organisations worldwide held ISO 27001 certification in 2024 – an increase of around 65% compared with 2021, highlighting the rapid global adoption of the standard.

Key questions about ISO 27001 certification
-
Start by understanding your organisation’s information security risks and how your existing security practices compare with ISO 27001 requirements. An initial gap analysis helps identify weaknesses in governance, risk management, security controls and monitoring before certification.
-
Organisations often benefit from targeted training to understand how an ISMS operates in practice. Training helps relevant teams understand security risks, apply appropriate controls and manage their information security responsibilities.
-
ISO 27001 requires organisations to manage information security risks proportionately. Higher-risk areas such as sensitive data, critical systems or third-party access require stronger controls, monitoring and training, while lower-risk areas can be managed through simpler arrangements.
-
Preparation usually includes a structured gap analysis and internal reviews before the formal assessment. This helps identify missing security policies, clarify responsibilities, strengthen risk management processes and ensure that controls operate effectively across the organisation.
-
ISO 27001 certification follows a two-stage audit. Stage 1 reviews ISMS documentation and readiness. Stage 2 assesses whether controls are implemented and operating effectively in practice.
-
Certification timelines vary depending on organisational size, IT complexity and the maturity of existing information security controls.
-
Speeki supports organisations through training and technology. ISO 27001 training helps teams understand how to design and operate an ISMS, while the Speeki Engage® platform helps manage policies, training, incidents and audit evidence in one place.
-
Certification costs depend on organisational size, IT complexity and the duration of the certification audit. In addition to certification fees, organisations should plan for implementation support, training and technology required to manage security controls and evidence effectively.
