Achieving ISO 27001 certification shows that your organisation manages information security risks in a structured, proven way. CertCrowd makes it easier to prepare, evidence, and maintain compliance long after your audit is complete.
ISO 27001 certification isn't just a document on the wall. It's independent validation that your Information Security Management System (ISMS) effectively protects sensitive data, aligns with international best practice, and continually improves.
Auditors look for two things:
Your certification body examines your ISMS documentation to confirm it meets ISO 27001 requirements:
CertCrowd helps: Store all documents, evidence, and version history in one secure system.
Auditors visit (onsite or remote) to test whether your ISMS operates as described. They'll review control implementation, interview staff, and examine evidence that risks are being managed.
What they verify:
CertCrowd helps: Link every control, policy, and action to its risk and evidence trail — so auditors can follow the logic instantly.
Certification lasts three years, but surveillance audits occur annually to ensure the ISMS remains effective. After three years, a recertification audit re-evaluates the entire system.
CertCrowd helps: Track recurring actions, schedule audits, and monitor performance indicators — keeping you audit-ready year-round.
Most organisations reach certification within 3 to 9 months, depending on scope and readiness:
CertCrowd's Blueprint and workflows shorten this timeline by pre-loading the required structure and records.
ISO 27001 certification must be issued by an IAF accredited Certification body. Each body follows the same ISO guidelines but may differ in audit approach and cost.
