Certification
An ISMS that works, not just a binder.
ISO 27001 is more than a certificate. It is a repeatable way to manage risk as your company grows. We design the management system, run the internal audit, and stay with you through certification.
Why it matters
A certificate is the start. A working ISMS is the advantage.
ISO 27001 asks whether you can manage information security consistently — not whether you own a specific stack. That makes it powerful for international buyers and dangerous when treated as a documentation exercise.
We build a right-sized ISMS around your risks, products, and customer commitments, then prepare your team for the certification audit with realistic internal audits and clear ownership.
What's included
Built around your environment.
What you walk away with
- A documented ISMS your team understands
- A risk register that drives decisions
- Annex A controls mapped to real owners
- Internal audit and management review completed
- Certification body coordination through Stage 1 and Stage 2
ISMS scope & context
Interested parties, legal obligations, risk appetite, and a scope that matches your business.
Risk assessment
A practical method and register your team can maintain without a consultant in the room.
Annex A control design
Controls mapped to your risks and existing SOC 2 work, with owners and evidence.
Internal audit & management review
A realistic dry run that finds the gaps before the certification body does.
Certification support
Audit scheduling, evidence coordination, and corrective actions through Stage 1 and Stage 2.
Who it's for
Built for teams like yours.
The best program is the one your team can operate. We scope the work to your stage, architecture, and the deal in front of you.
European or international customers require ISO 27001
You want one management system for multiple security commitments
You already have SOC 2 and need ISO coverage
Your team is scaling and security ownership is getting fuzzy
ISO 27001 questions
The details, before the first call.
If your question is not here, ask it directly. We will give you a straight answer.
Ask a different questionHow does ISO 27001 compare to SOC 2?
SOC 2 is an attestation report against the Trust Services Criteria, usually requested by US enterprise buyers. ISO 27001 is an international management-system certification. They overlap heavily; a well-designed control library can support both.
Do we need ISO 27701 too?
ISO 27701 extends ISO 27001 with privacy information management. It is useful when privacy is central to enterprise sales or you operate in regulated markets. We assess whether your buyers are asking for it before adding scope.
Who performs the certification audit?
An accredited certification body issues the certificate. SES prepares you, runs the internal audit, and coordinates with the certification body; we do not act as the certifying body.
What happens after certification?
You enter a surveillance cycle with annual audits and a recertification audit every three years. We can run internal audits, track corrective actions, and keep the ISMS current.
Can our SOC 2 work be reused?
Usually, yes. Controls and evidence can be mapped across both frameworks. We start from your existing control set to avoid building the same program twice.
