ISO 27001 gap analysis
We compare the current state with the standard and identify priorities, owners and the sequence of corrective actions.
- ISMS scope
- Context and interested parties
- Existing documentation review
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 implementation and audit
Information Security Management System aligned with ISO 27001
We design and organise an ISMS: from gap and risk analysis, through documentation and safeguards, to a readiness audit before ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
Implementation scope
An ISMS tailored to risk and business operations
We do not begin with templates. We first understand the organisation’s context, processes, assets, dependencies and legal or contractual obligations.
ISMS design and implementation
We design policies, roles, registers and procedures that support actual operations rather than documentation created only for an audit.
- Risk management
- Asset classification
- Security objectives and metrics
IT safeguards and processes
We connect ISMS requirements with access control, backups, incident handling, suppliers, business continuity, DevOps and ITSM.
Readiness audit
We verify system operation, implementation evidence and nonconformities before an independent certification audit.
Engagement stages
From diagnosis to certification readiness
We agree the scope and pace after reviewing organisational size, processes, locations and the maturity of existing safeguards.
Context and gaps
We define the ISMS scope, organisational context, processes, assets, interested parties, and legal and contractual requirements. We then compare the current state with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and prioritise the required actions.
Risk and plan
We identify threats and vulnerabilities, assess risks to information and processes, and select appropriate treatment options and safeguards. The results become an implementation plan with task owners, deadlines and performance indicators.
Implementation
We design and launch policies, procedures, roles, registers, and organisational and technical safeguards. We train responsible personnel and collect evidence that the ISMS operates effectively in practice.
Internal audit
We assess ISMS conformity and effectiveness, identify nonconformities and observations, and prepare corrective actions. We support the management review and prepare the organisation for the certification audit.
Engagement outcome
What does the client receive?
The deliverables are tailored to the agreed project stage, the organisation’s size and the defined ISMS scope.
Gap analysis report
An assessment against ISO/IEC 27001:2022, including findings, evidence, priorities and recommended actions.
Risk register and treatment plan
A structured risk assessment with acceptance criteria, owners, planned safeguards and implementation deadlines.
Operational ISMS documentation
Policies, procedures, roles, registers, objectives, metrics and a Statement of Applicability aligned with the organisation’s actual processes.
Certification-readiness plan
Internal-audit results, corrective actions, required evidence and preparation for management review and the certification audit.
Business outcomes
What does an effective ISO 27001 system deliver?
Systematic risk management
Decisions about safeguards are based on risk, accountability and measurable objectives rather than individual incidents.
Customer confidence
Structured evidence, roles and processes make it easier to meet contractual and tender requirements.
Alignment with NIS2 and GDPR
An ISMS can provide a common organisational foundation for information security, cyber resilience and data protection.
Frequently asked questions
FAQ: ISO 27001 implementation and audit
What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
It is an international standard specifying requirements for an Information Security Management System. It covers risk management, roles, objectives, process oversight and continual improvement of information protection.
Is ISO 27001 certification mandatory?
Certification itself is voluntary, although it may be required by a contract, tender or group policy. An organisation may implement the standard without seeking certification.
Who issues an ISO 27001 certificate?
An independent certification body issues the certificate after a successful audit. PAT-IT prepares the ISMS and organisation for that assessment but does not issue certificates.
How long does ISO 27001 implementation take?
Timing depends on the ISMS scope, number of processes and locations, maturity of safeguards and team availability. We prepare a realistic schedule after the gap analysis.
Does ISO 27001 support NIS2 and GDPR compliance?
It can provide a structured foundation for information security and risk management. It does not replace an individual analysis of legal obligations under NIS2, Polish KSC legislation or GDPR.
What is an ISMS?
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a structured framework of policies, processes, roles, responsibilities and safeguards used to manage information security risks. It encompasses establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving the protection of information, taking account of confidentiality, integrity and availability. It is not a single document or merely a set of IT solutions — it covers people, processes and technology.
