ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), specifying requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an organisation's information security posture. Unlike framework-driven standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001 requires certification through accredited third-party auditors and emphasises a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) continuous improvement cycle. The standard covers people, processes, and technology — requiring everything from security policies and risk assessments to asset management and business continuity planning. For engineering organisations, ISO 27001 certification signals a mature, process-driven approach to information security.

Define scope, establish security policy, conduct risk assessment, and implement a systematic information security management system covering all relevant controls.
Formal risk assessment methodology identifying threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts with documented risk treatment plans and residual risk acceptance.
Complete inventory of information assets with classification, ownership, and handling procedures aligned to sensitivity levels.
Information security requirements for all supplier agreements, regular monitoring of supplier compliance, and management of supply chain risks.
Business continuity management system incorporating information security requirements, tested through regular exercises and documented improvement actions.
ISO 27001's systematic approach to information security aligns naturally with how we already operate — documented processes, risk-aware decision-making, and continuous improvement. Our ISMS-mindset means we apply the same rigour to client projects: formal risk assessments at project inception, security requirements documented alongside functional requirements, and regular review cycles that catch issues before they become incidents. While certification is a client-driven decision, the operational discipline ISO 27001 requires is embedded in our engineering culture.
