What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the international standard for keeping information secure. An accredited certification body audits you, and the certificate shows customers that you manage security properly.

93 controls

The security controls the standard lists in its Annex A, from access control to backups.

2 stages

The certification audit checks your documents first, then checks that you work the way they say.

Every year

The certificate lasts three years, with a surveillance audit every year in between.

Seven steps to certification, most of them done for you.

This is everything ISO 27001 asks of you. For each step, here is what you do and what Naq does.

Step
1

Decide what the certificate covers

You

Write down what your certificate covers, and what it leaves out.

Naq

Sets up ISO 27001 for your whole organisation, with all 116 requirements mapped to 79 ready-made controls.

No mapping from scratch
Step
2

List your people, devices and suppliers

You

Connect Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.

Naq

Finds your devices and the cloud services your people use, ready for your registers.

No asset spreadsheet
Step
3

Assess your risks

You

List what could go wrong, such as a supplier data breach, and choose how you will reduce it.

Naq

Scores each risk by how likely and how serious it is, and flags any risk that has no owner.

One risk register
Step
4

Approve your policies

You

Review the policies, approve them, and send them to all staff.

Naq

Gives you 48 ready-written ISO 27001 templates, from access control to backups, and tracks who has read and acknowledged each one.

No blank pages
Step
5

Train your staff

You

Assign the courses to a whole team at once.

Naq

Includes 13 security and privacy courses for ISO 27001, and shows at a glance who is overdue.

No chasing by email
Step
6

Prove that every control works

You

Add the evidence that only you have, such as a backup report.

Naq

Links your evidence to each control and checks it every night, so a lapsed policy review is flagged before your auditor finds it.

Gaps found first
Step
7

Pass the certification audit, every year

You

Book your audit with an accredited certification body.

Naq

Before the audit, the Naq Assistant tells you what is still missing, from your own records.

No last-minute surprises
Then, prove it

Checked every night, not once a year.

Naq links your evidence to the right controls and checks it every night. A lapsed policy review or a risk with no owner is flagged before your auditor finds it.

Trust Centre

Show customers, before they ask.

Publish your ISO 27001 controls and documents on your own Trust Centre. Customers answer their own questions, so their security questionnaires get shorter.

1
Customers filter your controls to ISO 27001

They see which controls are in place, without a call or a spreadsheet.

2
They request a restricted document

For example your information security policy, with their name and the reason they need it.

3
You approve the request

Naq emails them a link straight away.
