What ISO 27001 certifies

A living system, not a binder of policies.

ISO/IEC 27001 certifies a complete Information Security Management System — a risk–based, continuously improving framework that spans people, process, and technology across your whole organization.

The standard pairs management–system requirements (Clauses 4–10) with a catalog of 93 Annex A controls. Verigo’s Compliance by Design approach embeds those controls into how you already operate — so evidence is generated by the process, not assembled in a panic before each audit.

Risk–based — controls follow your actual threats, not a checklist

Annex A — 2022 structure

93 controls, four themes.

37

Organizational

Policies, roles, supplier relationships, threat intelligence, and the governance backbone of the ISMS.

8

People

Screening, awareness, responsibilities, and the human controls that turn policy into practice.

14

Physical

Secure areas, equipment, clear–desk and clear–screen, and protection of physical assets.

34

Technological

Access control, cryptography, logging, secure development, and configuration management.

How Verigo supports you

Four service lines, mapped
to the ISO 27001 lifecycle.

Engage any single stage or move through the whole journey with one accountable, senior–led team — and a peer–review quality gate on every deliverable.

01
Assess

ISO 27001 Readiness Assessment

Know exactly where you stand against ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

We benchmark your current state against Clauses 4–10 and all 93 Annex A controls, score your gaps by risk and effort, and hand you an independent remediation roadmap — the foundation for everything that follows.

Implement

ISMS Implementation Toolkit

We build the Information Security Management System with you — not for a shelf.

A practitioner–led program that stands up the full ISMS: risk assessment methodology, Statement of Applicability, the complete policy set, control implementation, and the internal audit and management–review machinery that keeps it alive.

Prepare

Stage 1 & Stage 2 Pre–Audit Preparation

Walk into the certification audit knowing you will pass.

A mock Stage 1 documentation review and a full Stage 2 mock audit run by a lead auditor independent of your implementation team — surfacing nonconformities while there is still time to close them.

Certify & Sustain

Certification & Surveillance Support

Get certified — and stay certified across the three–year cycle.

We support you through the certification body’s Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, manage findings to closure, then keep the ISMS audit–ready through annual surveillance and three–year recertification.

Why certify with Verigo

Implementation and audit, under one roof.

Senior–led, always

Every engagement is run by practitioners with 20+ years and credentials including CISSP, CISM, and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor — never junior consultants with templates.

Audit–ready by design

Controls are embedded into how you operate, so evidence accumulates continuously instead of being reconstructed before each audit.

Independence preserved

Our pre–audit lead auditor is kept separate from your implementation team, protecting the integrity of the certification.

ISO 27001 questions

Good to know before we start.

Questions on scope, timeline, or the 2022 transition? A senior practitioner will walk you through it.

Start a Conversation

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 restructured Annex A from 114 controls into 93, organized under four themes — Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological — and introduced 11 new controls covering areas like threat intelligence, cloud security, and secure coding. Organizations certified to the 2013 edition transitioned by the October 2025 deadline.

For a mid–market organization, expect roughly 4–8 months end to end: a 2–4 week readiness assessment, 3–6 months to build and operate the ISMS, then the certification body’s Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. We give you a firm timeline in the scoping proposal.

Stage 1 is a documentation review where the certification body confirms your ISMS is designed and ready. Stage 2 is the full on–site (or remote) audit of whether your controls are actually operating. Our pre–audit preparation runs mock versions of both.

We support you through the full lifecycle, but the certification audit itself must be performed by an independent, accredited certification body — never the firm that implemented your controls. To preserve that independence, our pre–audit lead auditor is also kept separate from your implementation team.

No. The ISO 27001 certificate is valid for three years. In years one and two the certification body performs lighter surveillance audits; in year three you complete a full recertification. We keep your ISMS audit–ready throughout so each one is a non–event.
