Are you looking for ISMS consulting?
Whether you want to build an ISMS (Information Security Management System) from scratch or optimize your existing system – we offer comprehensive, hands-on consulting. Together, we bring your information security up to date so that your data is optimally protected.
Building, implementing and certifying an ISMS according to ISO 27001
ISO 27001 provides an internationally recognized framework for an information security management system (ISMS) and is suitable for companies of any size – including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It sets out requirements for the management system (clauses 4–10) and contains 93 controls in Annex A, with which companies can improve their information security in a structured and verifiable way.
With our ISMS consulting, we help you improve information security in your company sustainably. Our goal is to protect you optimally against security risks, meet compliance requirements and pass audits with confidence. Here is how we can help you:
What is involved in implementing an information security management system (ISMS)?
1. Management commitment and resources
Management commitment: Support and commitment of top management to information security.
Resource allocation: Provision of the means and resources needed to introduce and maintain the ISMS for security in information technology.
If you want the ISMS to be run on an ongoing basis, CISO as a Service offers a model without a dedicated full-time position.
2. Information security policy
Security policies: Documented information security policies and objectives that set out the guidelines for handling information.
Security objectives: Definition of specific information security objectives.
3. Risk management
Risk assessment: Identification and assessment of information security risks.
Risk treatment: Development and implementation of measures to reduce risk and improve the ISMS.
Risk treatment plan: Documentation of the risk analysis and risk mitigation measures as part of the certification of your ISMS.
Regular review: Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of information security and security measures.
4. Interface with data protection
An ISMS also covers the protection of personal data (Annex A 5.34) and thus creates an interface with data protection management under the GDPR.
5. Information security measures
Measures: Development and implementation of controls and measures to achieve these objectives.
6. Emergency management
Emergency plans: Development of plans and processes for responding to security incidents and emergencies.
Recovery plans: Definition of measures for recovery after a security incident or emergency.
7. Documentation and procedures
Documentation: Creation and maintenance of the required documentation, including policies, procedures and instructions.
Procedures: Definition and introduction of processes to ensure information security.
8. Training and awareness
Training programs: Conducting information security awareness training for employees.
Awareness measures: Regular information and education about security risks and measures to establish an effective information security management system.
9. Monitoring and evaluation
Monitoring mechanisms: Implementation of processes for monitoring information security measures.
Evaluation: Regular evaluation of the effectiveness of the ISMS and the security measures.
10. Internal audits according to ISO 27001
Internal assessment: Conducting internal audits to verify compliance with ISMS requirements and to identify opportunities for improvement.
11. Management review
Management review: Regular review of the ISMS by management to evaluate performance and decide on necessary adjustments.
12. Support during external audits by consultants
External assessment: During the audit, the ISMS consultant acts as the central point of contact and coordinates communication between the auditor and the company. They ensure that all required documents and evidence are provided smoothly, guide the auditor through the documentation and answer all questions precisely to avoid misunderstandings.
13. Continual improvement
Improvement measures: Identification of weaknesses and implementation of improvement measures for the continual development of the ISMS in accordance with ISO 27001.
Once built, the ISMS needs someone responsible for it in operation — many SMEs solve this with an external information security officer (ISO) as a service (in German).
Our ISO 27001 consulting services
Developing security policies
Many companies have no clear rules on how sensitive data should be handled. Together with you, we develop tailored information security policies that meet the requirements of your industry.
This standardizes processes, and all employees know exactly which steps to follow when securing data. In this way, you minimize the risk of security gaps by introducing an ISMS according to ISO 27001.
Consulting on compliance standards
Complying with legal requirements such as the GDPR, TISAX®, B3S, NIS2 (in German) or ISO 27001 can be complex and time-consuming, especially without a well-functioning information security management system.
We help you ensure that all relevant regulations on information security are met. With our consulting and audit preparation, you can avoid fines and reputational damage and convince your customers and business partners that your data is secure.
Risk assessment with gap analyses:
Many companies underestimate their own information security risks. We carry out a systematic risk analysis for you in which potential threats are identified and assessed.
Based on this analysis, we develop measures that better protect your IT infrastructure (IT systems) and sensitive data. This prepares you for potential IT security threats and allows you to respond quickly to ensure the integrity and availability of information.
Employee training and awareness
People are often the biggest weakness in information security. With targeted training, we raise your employees' awareness of security risks. Through regular training and information campaigns, we make sure your workforce stays up to date and that security incidents caused by human error are avoided.
Creating and maintaining documentation
Incomplete or missing documentation can jeopardize the success of an ISMS. We create all the necessary documents for you – from security policies to risk reports – and make sure they are always kept up to date. This way, you have all the evidence required for audits and reviews at hand and avoid unnecessary delays.
Audit preparation and support
Preparing for an audit can be stressful. We take this burden off your shoulders by guiding you through the process step by step. Whether internal or external audit – we make sure you are well prepared and meet all the requirements of ISO 27001. This enables you to master your assessments with confidence and position your company as a reliable partner in the supply chain. Conducting internal audits also helps you meet legal and regulatory requirements.
