ISMS audit and maturity assessment

How mature is your information security management system? An ISMS audit maps out whether policy, processes and controls are coherent and effective, and where the potential for improvement lies — going beyond the strict requirements of the standard alone.

What is an ISMS?

An ISMS (Information Security Management System) is the whole of policy, processes and measures with which you manage information security. ISO 27001 is the standard that sets the requirements for it.

Maturity assessment

We score your ISMS on a maturity scale — from ad hoc to optimised — and tie this to a concrete improvement plan.

An ISMS, or Information Security Management System, is the coherent whole of policy, processes, roles and measures with which an organisation manages information security in a structured way. ISO 27001 sets the requirements for an ISMS. It revolves around a continuous cycle of assessing risks, taking measures, checking and improving.

An ISO 27001 audit formally tests against the requirements of the standard. An ISMS maturity assessment takes a broader look at how effective and mature your system really is, beyond the strict requirements of the standard as well. The maturity assessment is particularly useful for determining the potential for improvement and setting priorities.

A maturity level indicates how developed a process is, typically on a scale from ad hoc (barely arranged, if at all) to optimised (measured and continuously improved). By scoring your ISMS per component, you can see at a glance where you are strong and where targeted improvement delivers the most.
