ISO 27001 Readiness & Certification Support
Scope the ISMS, map controls, gather evidence, and enter audits with confidence — while your engineers keep shipping.
What you get on day one
Concise scope, test plan, and outcomes your team can execute.
Readiness & renewals
Best for
First cert or re-cert.
Operator-led
Approach
Lead implementer + workspace.
6–12 weeks
Timeline
Depends on scope and gaps.
Evidence & SoA
Output
Mapped controls, risks, and proof.
Why it works
Practical ISO 27001 delivery, not paperwork theater
We align the ISMS to how you build and operate — controls are right-sized, evidence comes from your systems, and auditors get clarity.
Scope what matters
We right-size the ISMS to your products, regions, and data flows — avoiding unnecessary controls while covering real risk. No bloated scope that creates maintenance burden without adding security value.
Build evidence as you work
Evidence is captured from existing systems — tickets, deployments, monitoring, access reviews. Audits don't become side projects because proof comes from the tools your team already uses.
Stay audit-ready continuously
We prepare narratives, risk treatment documentation, and the Statement of Applicability so your auditors get clarity and your team keeps shipping. No last-minute scrambles before surveillance visits.
Compliance without drag
ISO 27001 should accelerate trust, not slow releases. We build controls into your existing workflows — CI/CD, change management, incident response — so compliance is a byproduct of good operations.
Control coverage
Domains we operationalize
Built from ISO 27001:2022 control objectives, mapped to your assets, teams, and operational reality.
Governance & risk
Risk register, Statement of Applicability, policies, management review minutes, and leadership commitment documentation — all reflecting how you actually operate, not template filler.
Asset & access control
Asset inventory, classification, least-privilege patterns, joiner/mover/leaver processes, MFA coverage, and privileged access governance — mapped to your identity infrastructure.
Secure build & deploy
Secure SDLC evidence, change control documentation, CI/CD guardrails, deployment approvals, code review processes, and vulnerability management integration with your release cycle.
Operations & monitoring
Logging configuration, alerting evidence, incident response playbooks, detection coverage, and response evidence tied to real activity — not theoretical procedures.
Vendor & customer trust
Supplier security review processes, DPA/SCC posture, sub-processor management, and customer assurance packs you can reuse for questionnaires and due diligence requests.
Continuity & resilience
BCP/DR runbooks, backup verification, restoration testing evidence, RTO/RPO targets, and tested recovery procedures — documented and auditor-ready.
How we deliver
From scope to audit-ready
A structured workflow that keeps operators, control owners, and auditors aligned throughout.
Scope & ISMS alignment
Define organizational context, assets, boundaries, and applicable controls. Map exclusions with rationale and build the initial Statement of Applicability.
Risk & control design
Build the risk register with treatment plans, control owners, and clear acceptance criteria. Align controls to ISO 27001:2022 objectives and your operational reality.
Evidence collection
Pull proof from tickets, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, HR systems, and access reviews. Create runbooks and procedures where gaps exist — all mapped to specific controls.
Internal review & audit prep
Run internal reviews to catch gaps before auditors do. Polish the SoA, prepare auditor-ready narratives, and brief your team on what to expect during the certification audit.
Deliverables
Control owners, evidence, and approvals in one workspace
Everything your auditor needs — mapped to controls, versioned, and export-ready.
Statement of Applicability
Mapped controls with inclusions, exclusions, and clear rationale aligned to your environment — the core document auditors review first.
- ISO 27001:2022 control mapping
- Exclusion rationale documented
- Control owner assignments
Risk register & treatment plan
Prioritized risks with owners, acceptance criteria, mitigation progress, and review dates — maintained as a living document, not a one-time exercise.
- Risk scoring with business context
- Treatment plans per risk
- Owner and review date tracking
Evidence library
Screenshots, tickets, change logs, monitoring evidence, and access reviews tied to specific controls — organized for auditor consumption and ongoing maintenance.
- Mapped to SoA controls
- Versioned with timestamps
- Export-ready per control
Audit-ready narratives
Management review minutes, incident summaries, DR/BCP test evidence, and supplier reviews — written for auditor clarity, not internal jargon.
- Management review documentation
- Incident and DR test evidence
- Supplier review summaries
Ready

- Evidence refresh and gap remediation
- Surveillance drill and review cycles
- Auditor liaison and preparation support
FAQ
What teams ask before we start
Do you provide a lead implementer?+
Yes. A Bytium lead implementer guides scope, risk assessment, control design, and evidence collection — keeping you audit-ready without slowing delivery. They work alongside your team, not as a separate compliance function.
Can you work with our existing tools?+
Absolutely. We use your ticketing system, CI/CD platform, monitoring stack, HRIS, and access management tools to gather evidence. The goal is to prove compliance from existing workflows, not create parallel documentation.
How long does readiness take?+
Typical timelines are 6–12 weeks depending on scope, current maturity, and how quickly gaps can be remediated. We align on milestones and access requirements up front so there are no surprises.
Will this disrupt engineering?+
We minimize meetings and pull evidence from existing workflows wherever possible. Where gaps exist, we provide runbooks and quick wins that engineering can adopt without derailing their sprint work.
Do you handle the certification audit?+
We prepare you for the audit and can liaise with your certification body, but the audit itself is conducted by an accredited third party. We ensure your team and documentation are fully ready before the auditor arrives.
What about ISO 27001:2022 vs 2013?+
We work to the 2022 standard with its updated control structure (93 controls in 4 themes). If you're transitioning from 2013, we handle the control mapping and evidence realignment as part of the engagement.
