Before we get on the ‘which’, lets explore ‘why’ and ‘how’ the ISO 27001 ISMS toolkit range has helped hundreds of organisations across the world to achieve ISO 27001 certification readiness.

‘WHY’ choose an ISO 27001 ISMS toolkit?

The hardest part of achieving ISO 27001 certification is the documentation of the Information Security Management System (ISMS). The documentation that is necessary to create a conforming system can, particularly in more complex businesses, be up to a thousand pages.

A toolkit can accelerate your ISO 27001 project immensely. The key benefits of a toolkit are:

• A toolkit is cheaper than one days’ consultancy
• Provides clear guidance on the role of risk assessment
• Template documents are easy to edit and customise
• Template documents save you time on research
• Template documents save you time on procedure writing
• Makes you your own expert
• An after sales support service
• 12 months of automatic updates

Then there’s the ‘HOW to do it’ issue.

The resource, time and management implications of making all this happen are immense. But that’s where toolkits come in. Our toolkits are precisely tailored to the requirements of ISO 27001 and contain pre-written documents, which can be tailored to your organisation. Our unique document support service offers after sales support to answer your queries, and each toolkit includes 12 months of free updates

Importantly, you do not want hundreds and hundreds of policies, after all ISO 27001 only requires 7 policies. By purchasing a toolkit, you receive a set of policies and procedures that really enable you to implement ISO 27001.

And finally, ‘WHICH’ toolkit is right for you?

Watch this short video to learn how a documentation toolkit will provide a road map to acheiving certification, cut project times by up to a third and save you a considerable amount of money …

ISO/IEC 27001:2005 is the best practice specification that helps businesses and organisations throughout the world to develop a best-in-class Information Security Management System. This standard together with the ISO27002 Code of Best Practice recognise that no matter how many security products are implemented, the information in an organisation is not completely secure unless the employees are trained in security awareness policies and procedures.

As clause 8.2.2 of ISO 27002 sets out, it is now imperative that security issues are addressed at the employee level and that a firm foundation is built for an employee to understand the implications of his/her actions and be mindful of these in their daily activities.

How can you ensure that you fully comply with the staff awareness requirements of ISO27001?
