ISO/IEC 27001 is the globally recognised standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS) . It outlines a detailed framework for systematically addressing information security across people, processes, and technology, focused on the three pillars of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
ISO 27001 certification is achieved through a third-party audit that validates that your ISMS meets international standards. The process includes:
Define ISMS boundaries, understand threats, and prioritize protections based on your business profile.
Build ISMS around your context, controls, and leadership responsibilities.
Launch technical, organisational, and procedural controls while embedding a security culture.
Prepare, audit, and validate with confidence backed by gap analysis and documentation.
Manage change, review performance, and evolve your ISMS as your business and risk environment advances.
ISO 27001 transforms risk management from a checklist into a strategic advantage. With VITS, you’re not just meeting a standard, you’re setting one.

ISO 27001 helps businesses identify risks, implement security controls, and establish processes to protect sensitive data. It reduces the likelihood of cyber incidents, improves compliance, and demonstrates a commitment to strong information security practices.
Certification demonstrates to customers, partners, and regulators that your organisation takes information security seriously. It helps build trust, reduce risks, and ensure compliance with legal and contractual requirements.
The timeline depends on your organisation’s size, complexity, and existing security measures. For many SMEs, it can take between 6 to 12 months to prepare, implement controls, and pass the certification audit.
Yes. ISO 27001 is scalable and flexible, making it relevant for businesses of all sizes. SMEs gain credibility, improved processes, and stronger protection against cyber threats without needing enterprise-level resources.
