Overview of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification

An Accredited Registrar such as Perry Johnson Registrars (PJR) may certify your ISMS to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Such certification provides your organisation with the credibility needed to do business into today’s information-rich world. Like many other ISO standards, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification involves a three-stage audit process:

Documentation & Readiness Review – In the first stage of your ISO/IEC 27001 audit, auditors will do a review of your ISMS. This review will include actions such as checking for the existence of key ISMS documents and reviewing the overall ISMS. The goal of this stage is to familiarise the auditors with your organisation, for you to get to know the auditors, and to identify any weaknesses or gaps to see if your organisation is ready for the next step.

Formal Conformance Audit – The second stage of your ISO/IEC 27001 audit is the formal audit. This is a thorough and detailed review and test of your Information Security Management System against the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requirements. During this phase, auditors will interview key employees to test their understanding of your ISMS. Provided your organisation’s system complies with the ISO 27001 standard, this audit will result in your ISMS being certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Follow-up Audits – The final stage of certification is a recurring audit to ensure that your ISMS is continually being evaluated and improved. A follow up audit, done at least annually, is meant to confirm that your organisation remains compliant with the standard. These audits may be done more frequently in the beginning, particularly while your ISMS is still maturing.

Deciding to pursue a certified Information Security Management System is a big step for any organisation, but the potential rewards are great. Armed with a certified ISMS, your organisation will be able to bid contracts more competitively, attract more customers, and ensure all stakeholders that the systems and information keeping your business running is protected.
