ISO 27001 certification support is advisory and implementation work that helps an organization build, operate, and evidence an Information Security Management System (ISMS) so it can pass an accredited certification audit against ISO/IEC 27001:2022. CyberXplore provides senior-led, hands-on guidance - gap analysis, risk assessment and treatment, Annex A control implementation, a defensible Statement of Applicability, and internal audit - to make you audit-ready. As an ISO 27001 & ISO 9001 certified consultancy we prepare and accompany you through Stage 1 and Stage 2; we are not a certification body, so the certificate itself is issued by an independent accredited registrar.
ISO 27001 is the globally recognized benchmark for information security - certification unlocks enterprise deals, tenders, and partnerships that require a verifiable ISMS.
The 2022 revision restructured Annex A into 93 controls across four themes, adding 11 new controls (threat intelligence, cloud security, data leakage prevention, secure coding, and more) that many existing programs do not yet address.
A poorly scoped ISMS or an unjustified Statement of Applicability is the most common reason organizations fail Stage 2 or collect avoidable nonconformities - getting the foundations right saves time and re-audit cost.
Certification turns ad-hoc security into a measurable, continually improving management system, reducing breach risk while satisfying customers, regulators, and cyber-insurance requirements.

Our methodology
01
Gap Analysis & Scoping
We benchmark your current state against ISO/IEC 27001:2022 clauses 4-10 and Annex A, define the ISMS scope and boundaries, and produce a prioritized roadmap to certification.
02
Risk Assessment & Treatment
We establish your risk methodology, identify and evaluate information-security risks against your assets, and build a risk treatment plan that maps each decision to the relevant Annex A controls.
03
ISMS & Control Implementation
We help author the mandatory policies, procedures, and records and implement the organizational, people, physical, and technological controls - then capture the rationale in a defensible Statement of Applicability.
04
Operate, Evidence & Internal Audit
We run the ISMS through a full cycle - awareness training, metrics, internal audit, and management review - generating the operating evidence Stage 2 auditors expect to see.
05
Stage 1 & Stage 2 Audit Support
We prepare you for the registrar's documentation review (Stage 1) and certification audit (Stage 2), coordinate evidence, and stand alongside your team to answer the auditor's questions.
06
Corrective Action & Continual Improvement
We help close any nonconformities, embed corrective actions, and set up the cadence that keeps the ISMS effective through annual surveillance audits and the 3-year recertification cycle.

Frequently asked questions
No. ISO 27001 certificates can only be issued by an independent, accredited certification body (registrar). CyberXplore is a senior-led advisory consultancy that builds and tests your ISMS, gets you fully audit-ready, and supports you through the Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits - but the certificate itself is awarded by the external auditor.
