Achieving and Maintaining ISO 27001 Certification: Practical Lessons from Supporting 500 Organisations

Since its launch in 2005, ISO 27001 has become the leading international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Achieving certification can bring significant benefits, but real success comes from building an ISMS that not only achieves certification but continues to deliver value and remain effective over time.

In this webinar, URM Consulting Services and BSI will share practical insights gained from more than 20 years of helping organisations implement, certify, maintain, and continually improve their ISMS. Drawing on our experience supporting over 500 successful ISO 27001 certification journeys, we understand what makes implementations successful, where organisations commonly struggle, and what is required to achieve and maintain certification over the long term.

Drawing on real-world implementation, certification, surveillance audit, and recertification experience, we'll share proven approaches, lessons learned, and practical advice to help you maximise the value of ISO 27001 while avoiding common mistakes. Whether you're considering certification, actively implementing an ISMS, preparing for surveillance or recertification audits, or looking to strengthen an existing system, this webinar will provide practical guidance that you can apply immediately.
