ISO/IEC 27001 Advisory

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for an information security management system (ISMS). It gives the board a recognised framework to govern information security risk — and a certificate that demonstrates diligence to clients, regulators and partners. vCyberBoard Advisor guides boards from intent to certification.

What ISO 27001 asks of the board

ISO 27001 is a governance standard. It requires leadership commitment, a security policy, defined roles, risk-based thinking and continual improvement — obligations that sit with the board, not the IT department. We help directors understand and discharge them.

Building an ISMS

An ISMS is the management system that keeps security running after the consultants leave. We help design the scope, policies, risk register, roles and review cycles that make the ISMS a living part of how the organisation is run.

Risk treatment and the Statement of Applicability

We run the information security risk assessment, agree treatment decisions with management and the board, and produce the Statement of Applicability that justifies which Annex A controls apply — and which do not, and why.

Certification readiness

We prepare the organisation for certification audit — internal audits, management reviews, evidence packs and corrective actions — so the first audit is a confirmation, not a discovery exercise.

How vCyberBoard Advisor helps

ISMS design, risk treatment, internal audit and certification readiness — delivered as independent board counsel, integrated with NIS2, DORA and ISO/IEC 42001 where relevant.
