Why work with URM?

  • We have helped over 400 organisations to becomecertified to ISO 27001 across a range of sizes and industry sectors
  • 100% certification guarantee

We could quote our experience – all our consultants have at least 5 years of experience of implementing and managing ISMS’ which has enabled them to truly understand the challenges before becoming consultants.  

However, whilst all of these things are important, we believe it is our approach and our passion that really sets us apart.

For URM, it is vitally important that your ISMS and ISO 27001 implementation reflects and is appropriate to your organisation.  Your ISMS needs to be pragmatic and maximises everything you have in place and becomes business as usual.  

Doing something simply because the Standard says so and producing a document to reflect that, will never become fully embedded in your organisation.

Added to our approach and passion is our flexibility.  

We will help you in the way that suits you best – whether that is through providing advice and guidance, taking responsibility for some of the requirements such as risk assessment and policy production or providing you with an experienced individual for a period of time.

Stay in the loop

Please provide your contact details and we will email you with any future changes to ISO 27001 (and the implications!).
