How long does ISO 27001 certification take?

Most small and medium businesses complete ISO 27001 in 8–12 weeks with a tight scope and automated evidence in Microsoft 365.

Do we need to buy a new platform?

No. We design your information security management system so that processes, logs and evidence live inside your existing Microsoft 365 tools such as SharePoint.

What’s included in your ISO 27001 engagement?

We usually include a gap assessment, policy suite, risk register, Statement of Applicability, control implementation, internal audit and support to prepare for the external certification audit.

Do you help with audits?

Yes. We help you prepare evidence packs, support auditor Q&A, coach staff for interviews and can also run your annual internal audits.

ISO 27001 Certification & ISMS Consulting in Australia

ISO 27001 Certification in Australia — Simple, Fast, Practical

ISO 27001 doesn’t need to take six months or consume your whole team. We help you build a certified Information Security Management System (ISMS) in 8–12 weeks by working inside your existing Microsoft 365 environment — no new platforms and no confusing tools.

Instead of static documents, we turn your policies and controls into live evidence that auditors can see in Microsoft 365 tools like SharePoint, Entra ID and Defender.

Why ISO 27001 matters

ISO 27001 is the globally recognised standard for managing information security. It gives customers, partners and regulators confidence that your business protects data, manages cyber risk and responds effectively to incidents.

Build customer trust

Show clients and prospects that you take security seriously — often a requirement for enterprise, government and healthcare contracts in Australia.

Reduce risk & downtime

Identify, assess and treat security risks before they turn into incidents, outages or headlines.

Streamline compliance

Use one simple framework to meet overlapping requirements across privacy, cloud, AI and vendor questionnaires — instead of starting from scratch each time.

Outcomes you can count on

Certified faster

Australian SMBs typically certify in 8–12 weeks with a clear scope, focused workshops and automated evidence workflow.

Auditor-ready from day one

All artefacts are traceable in SharePoint with version history and timestamps, so it’s easy to show what changed and when.

Proven in real environments

Experience across health, finance and technology sectors — with certification and surveillance audits passed on the first attempt.

How we work

1) Assess

We define your scope, review existing controls and identify quick wins using live data from your Microsoft 365 tenant.

2) Implement

We build your ISMS: policies, processes, risk register, Statement of Applicability and practical technical controls — directly in Microsoft 365.

3) Validate

We run an internal audit, help you fix any gaps and prepare your team for the certification audit so there are no surprises.

Common challenges we solve

Most teams start ISO 27001 projects with the same concerns — limited time, unclear scope and pressure from sales or vendors. We’ve helped organisations work through all of these before.

“We don’t have time.”

We keep workshops short and focused, re-use what you already have, and automate evidence so your team stays productive.

“Our auditor needs proof.”

Every control has live screenshots, reports or exports that live in SharePoint, so you can answer “show me” questions in seconds.

“We’re worried about scope.”

We right-size your ISMS — certify what matters most first, then expand the scope over time as your maturity grows.
