Why ISO 27001 information security consultancy

Why ISO 27001, and Why Now

More UK clients, insurers and procurement teams are asking for ISO 27001 before they’ll sign a contract. They don’t just want the certificate. They want proof you take cyber security seriously. If you’ve been asked for it, or you can see it coming, the earlier you start, the less it disrupts your business.

We’ve helped 200+ UK businesses strengthen their cyber security, and most SMEs complete the journey from gap analysis to certification in 3 to 9 months.

What Is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the international standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). An ISMS is the set of policies, processes and controls your business uses to identify, manage and reduce information security risks.

The current version is ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which includes 93 security controls. Together with our CREST-certified partner, we help you identify which ones apply to your business and evidence them for your auditor.

It’s not a one-off audit. Done properly, it becomes part of how you already work, not a separate compliance project bolted on top.

What ISO 27001 requires

What Does ISO 27001 Require?

To get certified, you’ll need to:

  • Define the scope of your ISMS
  • Identify your information assets and assess the risks
  • Put the right security controls in place
  • Document your policies and procedures
  • Assign clear security responsibilities
  • Run internal audits and management reviews
  • Show continual improvement over time

Our CREST-certified partner guides you through every requirement, while we put the technical controls in place, so nothing is missed at audit.

Why Sprint Integration?

We work closely with a CREST-certified cyber security partner to deliver ISO 27001. Their accredited consultants lead the gap analysis, ISMS documentation and audit preparation. As your managed IT support provider, we manage the project, put the technical controls in place and keep them running.

CREST-Certified Expertise

Your ISO 27001 work is led by an accredited, CREST-certified partner, backed by a local IT team that already knows your systems.

Built for SMEs, Not Big Corporates

No 40-page policy packs nobody reads. You get an ISMS that fits a business your size and actually gets used by your team.

One Partner, Not Two

When we also provide your managed IT support, there’s less duplicated work, faster evidence-gathering for your audit and no gaps between what IT does and what the auditor asks for.

Tailored to Your Business

Every gap analysis is scoped to your actual risk profile, not a generic template. Work with us as a standalone project or alongside your managed IT support.

Plain English Throughout

You’ll get a written gap analysis in language your team and your board can understand, not a wall of clause numbers.

Support That Doesn’t Stop at Certification

Certification is a snapshot. We and our partner stay on for internal audits, surveillance audits and keeping your ISMS current as your business changes.

Works Alongside Your Existing Accreditations

ISO 27001 consultancy service highlights

ISO 27001 gap analysis and audit process

How It Works: From Gap Analysis to Certified

1. Gap Analysis – Our CREST-certified partner reviews your current security setup against ISO 27001 and shows you exactly where the gaps are, in writing, with clear priorities.

2. Build Your ISMS – Together, we put the right policies, controls and risk processes in place, sized for your business, not copied from a 500-person template.

3. Internal Audit and Readiness Check – Before the real audit, an internal audit is carried out, so nothing comes as a surprise on the day.

4. Certification Audit Support – We help you choose an accredited certification body and prepare for the audit, so you walk in ready.

5. Stay Certified – Annual surveillance audits, ongoing policy updates and support as your business and risks change.

ISO 27001 Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to be a big company to get ISO 27001 certified?

No. We work with businesses of 5 to 200 employees across London, Essex and the South East. Smaller businesses are increasingly asked for ISO 27001 by larger clients, insurers and public sector procurement, and often get certified faster because there’s less to untangle.

Will ISO 27001 improve our cyber security?

Yes. ISO 27001 gives you a structured, risk-based approach to security. Combined with our managed IT support in Essex and London, your controls aren’t just written down. They’re in place and monitored.

Not ready for ISO 27001 yet? Where should we start?

Start with our Free IT Health Check. We’ll review your systems, security and backups, and show you where your biggest risks are. It’s a simple first step towards Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001.

Which version of ISO 27001 should we certify to?

ISO/IEC 27001:2022. It’s the current version, and all new certifications are issued against it.

Will this replace our Cyber Essentials certification?

No. They work together. Cyber Essentials covers baseline technical controls, while ISO 27001 covers the management system around your whole security approach.
