How to Achieve ISO 27001 Certification

In today’s business landscape, information is undoubtedly among an organisation’s valuable assets.  The unauthorised disclosure of sensitive information, such as commercially sensitive information or personally identifiable information (PII), can have devastating consequences for an organisation, and an increasing number of entities look for formal assurance that organisations have appropriate information security controls in place before engaging them as a supplier or service provider.  As such, there has never been a better time than now to certify against ISO 27001, the International Standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS’).

On 20 November, URM is hosting a half-day ISO 27001 implementation round table event, where you can learn not just about the benefits and costs of certifying, but also what you need to do (and avoid!) in order to achieve and maintain certification to ISO 27001:2022.  The seminar will also feature additional insights provided by BSI, the UK’s national standards body and leading certification body.

At the event, you will have the opportunity to discuss your organisation’s specific ISO 27001 challenges and requirements with subject matter experts from both the implementation (URM) and certification (BSI) sides of the fence, and to receive specialist advice and guidance on how to implement an ISO 27001-conformant information security management system (ISMS).  URM will also be drawing upon its extensive experience supporting ISO 27001 certification projects to highlight some common pitfalls to avoid when implementing your ISMS.

At the event, we will be discussing topics such as:

• What ISO 27001 is and how it can benefit your organisation
• How to gain and maintain certification
• What to expect from an external ISO 27001 certification audit
• How to conduct information security risk assessments
• How to make ISO 27001 work for your organisation and avoid common pitfalls and mistakes.

The event will run from 9:30–11:30am  on Wednesday 20 November, and will be held in London.

We will be accepting registrations until 8 November, however, we would recommend registering as soon as possible as there are only a very limited number of spaces available.
