Build Your ISMS According to ISO/IEC 27001 with SecuraPoint

Want to implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 27001? Then you don’t need just theoretical training—you need a partner who will implement it with you. Not just ad hoc, but together, with expertise, systems thinking, and real-world experience.

We’ll guide you step by step through building your ISMS—from the initial risk analysis and defining controls all the way to successful certification. You won’t just receive recommendations; you’ll get hands-on support. Remote or on-site—your choice.

Why an ISMS Is More Than Just a Certificate

A working ISMS isn’t just a shiny certificate—it protects your information, business processes, customer satisfaction, and ultimately, the future of your organization. It builds trust with customers, partners, and regulatory bodies. It helps you comply with legal frameworks like NIS2, KRITIS, GDPR, or the Cyber Resilience Act.

ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for information security. By implementing ISO 27001, you show that you take security seriously—with a system, a plan, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

The SecuraPoint Approach: Thinking Alongside You, Acting With You, Taking Responsibility

Many providers give you a few Word templates and leave you on your own. Not us. We build the ISMS with you—if you want us to. We bring experience, structure, and expertise. You remain in control and choose how deeply we integrate.

If needed, we can take on interim roles—such as Information Security Officer or Project Manager. We help kick-start decisions, move processes forward, and give you breathing room. We also train your staff so the knowledge stays within your company.

How an ISMS Project with SecuraPoint Works

  1. Initial Consultation and Goal Setting
    We clarify where you currently stand, what you need, and what you want to achieve with your ISMS.

  2. Scoping and Project Planning
    Together we define the scope, prioritize critical topics, and set up the project plan. We also determine whether you’d like us to take on interim roles.

  3. Initial GAP Analysis
    We assess which ISO 27001 requirements are already met and identify specific areas for improvement. Missing controls are prioritized to stay focused.

  4. Risk Assessment and Security Objectives
    We guide you through structured risk assessments, derive effective controls, and help formulate achievable security objectives. We use ISO 27001 Annex A as a foundation.

  5. Control Development and Implementation
    From access controls, asset inventory, and backup strategies to incident management—we help you find and implement the right solutions.

  6. Training and Awareness
    We build awareness across your teams. If desired, we provide targeted training for development teams on software security.

  7. Documentation, SoA, and Records
    We help create tailored, audit-ready ISMS documentation that fulfills ISO 27001 requirements and fits your organization.

  8. Internal Audit and Management Review
    Upon request, we perform internal audits, prepare the final report, and support you in preparing for external ISO 27001 certification audits.

Timeline and Project Duration

Introducing an ISMS is not a sprint—it requires ongoing improvement even after the initial project phase. We plan pragmatically and with clear goals in mind. Based on our experience, a typical ISMS project takes:

  • Around 6 to 9 months for small businesses
  • Around 9 to 12 months for mid-sized businesses
  • Around 12 to 18 months for larger organizations

We tailor the pace to your structure, maturity level, and team capacity.

Hands-On Support – On-Site in Southern Germany

We support you not only via screen share but also in person if desired. Our on-site services focus on the regions around Lake Constance, the Black Forest, the Swabian Jura, and Stuttgart.

We jump in wherever you need us—raising awareness with leadership, coordinating with IT or dev teams, or helping implement controls.
