WHAT IS ISO IEC 27001?
The Leading ISO 27001 Certification Services
ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for managing information security. It provides a framework for organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The standard’s primary goals are to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by systematically managing risks related to people, processes, and technology.
Achieving ISO 27001 certification demonstrates an organization’s commitment to information security and builds trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
I.S. Partners performs efficient ISO 27001 consultancy and audit services that provide a clear understanding of the gaps between your company’s current information security policies and the ISO 27001 certification requirements.

ISO 27001 Certification Services Cost
The total cost of ISO 27001 certification can vary significantly depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the organization, number of locations, and internal expertise. On average, companies can expect to pay anywhere from $10,000 to over $100,000 for the entire certification process.
Here is an estimate of the entire certification cost, including preparation:
Preparation Costs ($10K-$60K)

- Internal audits
- Consultant fees (optional) – around $38K on average
Certification Audit Costs ($10K-$50K)

For a small company with under 50 employees, the certification audit itself typically costs between $10,000 – $15,000. Mid-sized companies can expect to pay $20,000 or more.
*These estimates do not include the cost of recertification.
TIMEFRAME & FREQUENCY
ISO 27001 Certification Timeframe and Frequency
Timeframe
The entire ISO 27001 certification process, from initial preparation to achieving certification, generally takes anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the size and complexity of the organization.
For most small to mid-sized businesses, it takes between 6 and 12 months.
Frequency
ISO 27001 certificates are valid for three years from the initial certification date. To maintain the certification, organizations must go through a recertification audit before the end of that three-year period.
The recertification audit process is similar to the initial certification audit which typically takes place 2-3 months before the certificate expiration date.
Organizations must undergo annual surveillance audits in between the initial certification date and the renewal year. Surveillance audits occur in years 1 and 2 after the initial certification.
The typical ISO 27001 audit cycle looks like this:
- Year 0: Initial certification audit
- Year 1: Surveillance audit
- Year 2: Surveillance audit
- Year 3: Recertification audit
- (Cycle repeats)
