What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic framework for managing sensitive information — covering people, processes, and technology. Certification signals to clients, regulators, and partners that your organisation takes information security seriously and has the controls to back it up. The current version is ISO 27001:2022, which includes 93 Annex A controls across four themes.

Our Approach

Three Phases to ISO 27001 Certification

We structure the journey into three clear phases — so you always know where you are and what comes next.

Phase 1 — Gap Assessment

We evaluate your current information security practices against all 93 ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls, identify gaps, and produce a prioritised remediation roadmap.

  • Control-by-control gap analysis
  • Risk assessment methodology
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap
  • Management briefing report

Phase 2 — ISMS Implementation

We help you build your Information Security Management System — from policies and procedures to risk treatment plans and the Statement of Applicability (SoA).

  • ISMS policy & procedure documentation
  • Statement of Applicability (SoA)
  • Risk treatment plan
  • Security awareness training

Phase 3 — Audit Readiness

We prepare your organisation for Stage 1 (documentation review) and Stage 2 (implementation audit) external audits — including internal audit support and corrective action resolution.

  • Internal audit execution
  • Corrective action support
  • Stage 1 & Stage 2 audit prep
  • Auditor liaison support
Why It Matters

Why Singapore Businesses Pursue ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is increasingly a prerequisite — not just a differentiator. Enterprise clients, government agencies, and regional partners regularly require certification as a condition of doing business. It also provides a structured framework that complements MAS TRM requirements for financial institutions.

  • Required by enterprise clients and government tender requirements
  • Demonstrates information security maturity to regulators
  • Internationally recognised — opens doors in Singapore, ASEAN, and globally
  • Complements MAS TRM compliance for financial institutions
  • Reduces the risk of costly data breaches and incidents

Internationally recognised. Required by enterprise clients, government agencies, and regional partners.

Common Questions

ISO 27001 FAQ

How long does ISO 27001 certification take in Singapore?

For most Singapore SMEs and fintechs, ISO 27001 certification takes 6 to 12 months from initial gap assessment to Stage 2 audit completion. The timeline depends on the current maturity of your security practices and the size of your organisation. Our advisory approach is designed to streamline the process and avoid common pitfalls.

What is the difference between ISO 27001 and the Cyber Trust Mark?

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems, applicable to any organisation globally. The Cyber Trust Mark is a Singapore-specific certification issued by CSA, designed for organisations with significant digital exposure. Many Singapore organisations pursue both — ISO 27001 for international credibility and the Cyber Trust Mark for local regulatory and procurement recognition.

Does a Singapore company need ISO 27001 certification?

ISO 27001 is not mandatory for most Singapore companies, but it is increasingly required by enterprise clients, government agencies, and regional partners as a condition of doing business. MAS-regulated financial institutions, healthcare organisations handling patient data, and companies pursuing government contracts will find ISO 27001 certification significantly improves their compliance posture and commercial credibility. It also provides a structured ISMS framework that complements MAS TRM, PDPA, and CSA requirements.
