Google says that many people are searching for “ISO 27001 PDF Free Download” on-line. They are clearly looking for “short-cut” to ISO 27001 Certification. Perhaps this is what has brought you here. Please read on, as we have some important advice from a former ISO auditor. Plus, we have some news that might help.
No Alternatives?
We used to believe that there was no way that ISO 27001 certification could be achieved by anything other than some good old-fashioned consultancy time from a skilled ISO Consultant. Of course, there was much that was free, downloadable, and (occasionally) useful in cyberspace. However, this standard, because of it’s business-critical nature, wasn’t one of them.
Short Cuts To Nowhere
Furthermore, customers using a “get a free template and fill it in” approach were easily spotted by Our Senior Consultant. He was once a certification auditor, the man who gave the final verdict on audit day. He had witnessed too many cases of “short-cuts” which waste both client and auditor’s time. Compare this to a student’s assignment, made up of disjointed and irrelevant paragraphs. One mark for ingenuity and courage, but no pass.
Small and Neat Is Beautiful
He was set against anything that would deceive a company into depending on cut and pasting a few paragraphs of irrelevant text. In an effective ISO management system, relevance and lack of waffle will impress your auditor. Less is actually more, if written well. However, for example,addressing risks that plainly don’t exist in your company won’t help. It will tell your auditor that you haven’t done your homework. Padding out with someone else’s words won’t work.
A New Approach. Bring On The Tool Kit.
However, we’ve had a major change of opinion. We understand that businesses will each be on different stages of a standards “journey”. Some may already hold ISO certification for another standard. Happily, recent revisions of standards, such as ISO 9001:2015 share a common core of system components with other standards, such as ISO 27001. Hence, the wheel does not need to be reinvented for every new certification. Therefore, a “tool kit” set of downloadable ISO templates may suit those who have a familiarity with the structure and approach of standards.
Thus, we now offer a range of help, dependent on the confidence and competency of the organisation seeking certification. Here’s the range:-
Face-to-Face Consultation.
We are happy to work with you from start to finish. This addresses the familiar question: – “Do we buy this service in, or do it ourselves?” . We analyse your real-life business needs. Then, we create a practical management system to serve them. Meanwhile, you carry on with running you business. This classic full-service consultancy has benefited many companies over the years. However, this is only one aspect of our services.
Remote Consultation. The Tool Kit.
If you are already ISO certified, know what a management system requires, and have the in-house resource, our remote solution may be best for you. You can arrange on-line sessions with one of our experienced consultants to help with the work. Often, smaller businesses with in-house experience choose this option.
How We Work. How We Don’t Work
As a consultancy, we pride ourselves on a straightforward, no-nonsense, ethical and conscientious approach. We won’t offer a consultant’s service if you are clearly skilled enough to proceed on your own. Conversely, if corporate resource restraints and lack of experience are a challenge, we won’t simply dump a set of templates on your staff, raise an invoice, and ride off into the sunset. It’s not how we work.
