One certification recognised in every market you're entering. Build the ISMS once, reuse the controls for SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA as each region asks.
Share a few details and we'll send a ISO 27001 plan with dates, effort and cost — plus grant eligibility.
US buyers want SOC 2, EU wants GDPR, APAC wants ISO. Doing them serially costs you a year.
An ISMS designed for a 5,000-person bank is not what a 20-person startup should operate.
Surveillance audits every year mean the ISMS has to actually run, not just exist.
Scope and controls proportionate to your size and risk, with justification auditors accept.
Approve a control once; it satisfies ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA where they overlap.
Access reviews, training, supplier checks and management reviews scheduled and evidenced year round.
Decide certification scope against the regions and buyers you're targeting.
Policies, SoA, risk register and treatment plan generated and approved.
Internal audit, management review, then Stage 1 and Stage 2.
Agents run the recurring ISMS activities and keep evidence fresh.
Serving US, EU and APAC buyer requirements simultaneously.
Annex A applicability rationale written per control.
Surveillance-audit ready, not scrambling each year.
Selling mostly to US enterprises? SOC 2. Selling to EU/APAC or several regions? ISO 27001 first, then SOC 2 on the same evidence.
Not fully — ISO 27701 and GDPR-specific documentation extend it. Agents handle the delta.
Typically a few hours a week for approvals and interviews during the readiness period.
Fast-track sprints at best market cost — up to 80% covered as grants for eligible startups.
