ISO/IEC 27001 – Information security management system

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international benchmark for information security management systems (ISMS). It helps an organization identify the risks threatening its information, determine the appropriate controls, and establish governance that continually improves its cybersecurity. It covers the human, organizational, and technological dimensions of security.

It is particularly relevant for technology and SaaS companies, professional services firms, financial institutions, connected manufacturers, government organizations, healthcare companies, and any organization that handles sensitive data or must demonstrate its maturity to clients, insurers, investors, or prime contractors.

Implementation structures the management of risks, policies, responsibilities, access, incidents, suppliers, information assets, and the continuity of controls. It can also facilitate business development when a client requires independent proof of cybersecurity maturity.

Indicative effort: 4 to 9 months for an SMB that is already reasonably structured; approximately 120 to 300 internal person-hours spread across IT, security, leadership, HR, and process owners; generally 180 to 450 hours of Quantum Beyond advisory, depending on the scope, the initial maturity, and the technical controls to be implemented.

Quantum Beyond will support your organization from the initial assessment through to audit preparation: scope definition, gap assessment, inventory, risk analysis, policies, controls, documentation, indicators, internal audit, remediation of gaps, and preparation for certification.

The outcome goes beyond certification: the organization develops a permanent structure to understand its risks, protect its information, demonstrate its diligence, and improve its cyber resilience.
