ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for security and compliance, and one of the most popular information security management standards (ISMS). Businesses with ISO 27001 are aligned with security requirements across industries and sectors, and implementing ISO 27001 helps you meet your legal and regulatory obligations under laws as such as EU GDPR, FCA and the NIS Regulations.
Becoming ISO 27001 certified is proven to enhance the reputation of your company and lets your customers know you’re working to the highest available security standards covering people, processes, technology and physical security.

How Bulletproof can help you achieve ISO 27001 certification

- Your ISO lead implementer ensures your information security controls are being implemented efficiently and effectively

Internal auditing
ISO 27001 requires companies to conduct internal audits at least annually, in addition to the audits conducted by the external certification body.
Often, conflicts of interest and a lack of the necessary skills and knowledge make it difficult for companies to do these themselves. That’s where we can help with:
- Highly experienced ISO 27001 certified auditors
- Comprehensive audit plans to ensure your audit runs smoothly and efficiently
- Detailed ISO audit reports providing comprehensive information on non-conformities and opportunities for improvement
- Flexible audit plans to work around your audit schedule
- The opportunity to buy 3-year audit plans, with monthly payment options, making your internal audits more cost-effective
Go beyond compliance
As a leading cyber security provider, Bulletproof can also provide complimentary services outlined by ISO 27001, including:
- Cyber security awareness training
- All types of penetration testing
- Managed SIEM and SOC
ISO 27001 can be a significant investment, but ultimately it will make your business much more secure. If your business isn’t ready to achieve ISO 27001, we’d highly recommend getting the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials certification instead.

The cost of ISO 27001 certification depends on the size and nature of your business, as well as the gap between your current status and the desired, compliant state. By undertaking a gap analysis first, this journey can be accurately mapped, saving valuable time and money when it comes to implementation.
ISMS stands for Information Security Management System, and is the core component of ISO 27001. It’s the framework that outlines all security risks and your controls for them. It covers people, processes and technology and typically encompasses your entire organisation, securing your corporate information assets confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA).
ISO 27000 series is a family of information security management standards and documents covering all areas of the ISO standard for information management security. ISO 27001 is specifically the certification standard whereas ISO 27002 (and beyond) are controls, guidance and information documents, for the ISO 27001 certification standard.
ISO 9001 is a standard for ensuring the quality of your services and is based on a QMS (Quality Management System), whereas ISO 27001 sets the standard for information security and uses an ISMS (Information Security Management System). There’s actually some overlap between the two standards, so gaining ISO 27001 compliance will give you a head start on ISO 9001, and vice versa.
ISO 27001 | Cyber Essentials | |
---|---|---|
What is it | An international standard that sets out the requirements of an Information Security Management System to manage information security risk in a systematic way. The standard isn’t mandatory however many contracts/tenders do stipulate it as a requirement. | An NCSC backed UK assurance scheme addressing five technical security controls to help businesses address the most common vulnerabilities. Cyber Essentials is mandatory for government contracts. |
Risk | ISO 27001 adopts a risk-based approach where organisations set their risk acceptance criteria and risk methodology. This determines how risks are addressed. | Cyber Essentials aims to address the most common vulnerabilities found in organisations. It is not a risk-based approach |
Recognition | ISO 27001 is an international standard recognised around the world | Cyber Essentials is a UK based scheme and is not well known worldwide |
Time to implement | Months | Days – weeks |
Certification process | Certification is provided by a Certification Body. This involves a Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit, and annual surveillance audits. Certification lasts for 3 years, as long as the organisation passes the audits. | Complete a self-assessment questionnaire (or undergo vulnerability scans and a workstation assessment if taking Cyber Essentials Plus) and be assessed by a IASME Cyber Essentials Assessor. Certification must be repeated annually. |
Costs | Med/High | Low |
Scope | Scope is defined by the organisation but the standard encompasses the business and is not just focused on IT. | Focuses on 5 key areas (shown below) and is more IT focused.
|
Applicability | Aimed at all businesses. | Aimed at all businesses, but particularly targets smaller businesses that may have not previously considered cybersecurity. |
When it comes to ISO 27001, the words certification and accreditation are often used interchangeably by companies who don’t know better. However, there is a difference. For ISO 27001 in the UK, a certification body tests organisations against the ISO 27001 standard, and gives them a registered certificate if they pass. The accreditation body on the other hand, is responsible for ensuring that the certification bodies all work to the same standard.
In the UK the accreditation body is UKAS and they’re recognised by the Government. So to sum up, end user companies are certified as ISO 27001 compliance by a certification body, who are in turn accredited by the accreditation body (UKAS).
