ISO 27001 Implementation Roadmap

A phase-by-phase guide from initial gap assessment through Statement of Applicability, control implementation, internal audit and certification body audit.

1. What ISO 27001 Actually Requires

ISO 27001 requires an Information Security Management System (ISMS) — a structured, risk-based approach to managing security across people, processes and technology, not just a checklist of technical controls.

2. The Six-Phase Roadmap

Phase 1 — Gap Assessment. Phase 2 — Scope & Statement of Applicability. Phase 3 — Policy & Control Implementation. Phase 4 — Internal Audit. Phase 5 — Certification Audit (Stage 1 & Stage 2). Phase 6 — Continuous Improvement through annual surveillance audits.

3. What Slows Teams Down

The most common delay isn't technical control implementation — it's building genuine evidence of operation. Auditors want to see controls working over time, not just policies that exist on paper.
