How We Can Help You Get ISO 27001-Certified?

Understanding your business and information gathering: The first phase of the process involves gaining a deep understanding of your business and security environment, identifying target areas, and acquiring all the data necessary to design and implement a robust ISO 27001-based security framework tailored to your needs.

Risk and vulnerability assessment: In phase two, our security analysts conduct a risk assessment and scan your IT environment for vulnerabilities. We use a variety of assessment tools and methodologies such as penetration testing and security gap analysis to get a clear picture of your risk environment and significant threat vectors.

Classification of vulnerabilities and setting priorities: The vulnerabilities and risks identified in the previous phase are then classified and prioritized to design a risk mitigation plan based on ISO 27001 security controls. Our analysts will help you prepare a comprehensive security policy with actionable steps for strengthening your security infrastructure, as per the controls defined under ISO 27001.

Formulating an information security management plan: The last phase of the process consists of developing a final information security management plan and a clear roadmap that includes all the steps necessary to get you ISO 27001-certified. This will not only put you on the path to compliance with ISO 27001 but also help you meet several other international security regulation requirements.

It provides a framework to ensure that IT services are managed effectively and efficiently. The standard is divided into five components: Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation, and Continual Service Improvement. The goal of ISO/IEC 20000 is to ensure that IT services are delivered with quality and reliability, while also meeting customer requirements.

ISO/IEC 20000 is based on the ITIL best practice framework, which provides guidance for managing IT services in an organization. The goal of this standard is to ensure that IT services are delivered as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, while also meeting customer requirements and quality standards. Additionally, ISO/IEC 20000 focuses on measuring services against defined metrics and providing continuous service improvement. The standard also includes the requirements for service level agreements and the responsibility of each service provider.

Additionally, ISO/IEC 20000 covers the requirements for service transition, which includes the process of transitioning from one service to another (such as from development to production). This transition process would be supported with detailed procedures, plans, and guidance, as well as adequate resources and appropriate training. The standard also requires the establishment of a service catalog, which provides information about the services that are offered and their respective prices. Finally, ISO/IEC 20000 requires the implementation of an incident management process, which is designed to minimize the impact of service outages on customers.
