Frequently asked questions about ISO 27001

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the leading international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Published by the International Organization for Standardization, it provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. The standard takes a risk-based approach, requiring organizations to identify threats, assess their impact, and implement appropriate controls.

What is the difference between ISO 27001 and SOC 2?

ISO 27001 is an international certification standard that requires formal accreditation from a certification body. It focuses on establishing a complete Information Security Management System. SOC 2 is a U.S.-based attestation report from a CPA firm focused on service organizations. ISO 27001 is recognized globally, while SOC 2 is primarily used in North America. Many organizations pursue both for comprehensive coverage.

How long does ISO 27001 certification take?

Traditional ISO 27001 certification typically takes 6-12 months depending on organization size and complexity. With Evidr, most companies can achieve certification readiness in 2-4 months. The certification audit itself takes 1-3 weeks, with Stage 1 (documentation review) and Stage 2 (implementation audit) conducted by the certification body.

What is ISO 27001:2022?

ISO 27001:2022 is the latest version of the standard, released in October 2022. It updates the Annex A controls from 114 to 93, reorganizing them into 4 themes (Organizational, People, Physical, Technological) instead of 14 domains. Organizations certified to ISO 27001:2013 must transition to the 2022 version by October 2025.

What is the Statement of Applicability?

The Statement of Applicability (SoA) is a required document that lists all Annex A controls, states whether each is applicable or not, provides justification for inclusion or exclusion, and describes how applicable controls are implemented. Evidr auto-generates your SoA based on your risk assessment and control selections.

How much does ISO 27001 certification cost?

Total costs vary significantly by organization size. Certification body fees typically range from $10,000-$50,000 for initial certification. Annual surveillance audits cost 30-50% of the initial fee. Implementation costs (consultants, tools, training) can add $50,000-$200,000 for traditional approaches. Evidr significantly reduces implementation costs with automated risk assessment, control mapping, and policy generation.

Is ISO 27001 certification mandatory?

ISO 27001 certification is voluntary but increasingly required by enterprise customers, government procurement processes, and regulated industries. In some sectors (healthcare, finance, government contracting), certification is a de facto requirement to win business. Many organizations pursue it to demonstrate security maturity and differentiate from competitors.

What are the ongoing requirements after certification?

ISO 27001 certification is valid for 3 years with annual surveillance audits. Organizations must maintain their ISMS through continuous monitoring, regular risk assessments, internal audits, and management reviews. Evidr helps with ongoing compliance through automated monitoring, evidence tracking, and proactive alerts before audits.
