ISO 27001 Readiness

Streamlined Certification Readiness

ISO 27001 Readiness Assessments and Certification Support

Earning ISO 27001 certification requires a structured approach to information security, documentation, and audit readiness. AAFCPAs helps organizations prepare with confidence, whether they are building a new security program or aligning existing controls with ISO 27001 requirements. By leveraging controls already established through frameworks such as SOC 2 and NIST, we identify gaps, strengthen documentation, reduce the risk of nonconformities, and help streamline the path to certification.

Because independent certification auditors cannot perform readiness activities for organizations they certify, AAFCPAs provides the guidance and preparation needed before the certification audit. We support clients through each phase of the process, from readiness assessments and control documentation to audit preparation and support for Stage 1 and Stage 2 reviews.

Our ISO 27001:2022 readiness support includes:

Statement of Applicability development
Controls inventory aligned to ISO 27001 requirements
Gap analysis and remediation planning
Information security and quality manual documentation
Control testing support and pre-inspection insights
Audit preparation and support through Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits
