Expert ISO 27001 certification support for Kent SMEs. We build a practical Information Security Management System that protects your data, satisfies your clients, and prepares you for certification.
ISO 27001 provides a framework for managing information security risks across your business — covering data, systems, people, and processes. Certification demonstrates that your business takes the security of sensitive information seriously.
For Kent SMEs handling client data, operating in regulated sectors, or supplying larger organisations with strict security requirements, ISO 27001 is increasingly expected. It also supports GDPR compliance by demonstrating a systematic approach to protecting personal data.
If you handle client data, store sensitive information, or supply organisations with strict security requirements, ISO 27001 is worth considering. It's increasingly required in financial services, healthcare, legal, and public sector supply chains. Even if it's not yet mandatory for your clients, certification demonstrates a level of data security maturity that builds trust.
ISO 27001 and GDPR both require a risk-based approach to protecting personal data, but they are separate frameworks. ISO 27001 certification demonstrates that you have a systematic ISMS in place, which supports your GDPR compliance posture. It doesn't replace GDPR compliance, but it provides a strong foundation for it.
ISO 27001 typically takes 9–15 months for an SME, as the information security risk assessment and Statement of Applicability (SoA) require careful work. We'll give you a realistic timeline at our first meeting based on the size and complexity of your information assets.
The Statement of Applicability (SoA) is a key ISO 27001 document that lists all 93 controls from Annex A of the standard and states which apply to your organisation, which don't, and why. We prepare this with you as part of the certification process.
ISOHS charges a fixed fee based on the size and complexity of your information security scope. The certification body fee is separate and varies by provider. Contact us for a no-obligation quote after an initial conversation about your business.
