LiveThe challenge
Why ISO 27001 certification is challenging
ISO 27001 opens EU and global enterprise deals, but it asks for a real, living Information Security Management System — not a one-time checklist. That’s where most teams get stuck.
Building a real ISMS
ISO 27001 requires an operating management system with objectives, internal audits, and management reviews — not just a set of documents that rot after certification.
The Statement of Applicability
You must justify the applicability of all 93 Annex A controls and tie each to your risks and evidence. Doing that by hand in a spreadsheet is slow and error-prone.
Risk assessment & treatment
ISO 27001 is fundamentally risk-driven. Without a repeatable methodology, your risk register becomes guesswork the auditor will challenge.
Documentation overload
Scope, policies, risk methodology, SoA, objectives, internal audit reports, management review minutes — the paperwork alone overwhelms teams doing it manually.
Surveillance audits every year
Certification is a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits. Programs that aren’t continuous fall out of readiness between audits.
Consultant dependency
Expensive consultants build your ISMS once — then the knowledge leaves, and you’re unprepared for the next surveillance audit.
Meet Qireon
Run a real ISMS — without the spreadsheets
Qireon is the AI-powered compliance platform that runs your entire ISO 27001 ISMS in one place — from scoping and risk assessment to a live Statement of Applicability, certification, and every surveillance audit after it.

Framework requirements
What ISO 27001 actually requires
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is an international standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Unlike a SOC 2 report, it results in a formal certificate issued by an accredited certification body. Here’s how it works.
The ISMS (Clauses 4–10)
The mandatory core of ISO 27001 is the management system defined in Clauses 4 through 10. These are non-negotiable requirements for how your security program is governed and improved over time:
- Context of the organization (Clause 4)
- Leadership & commitment (Clause 5)
- Planning & risk treatment (Clause 6)
- Support & resources (Clause 7)
- Operation (Clause 8)
- Performance evaluation & internal audit (Clause 9)
- Continual improvement (Clause 10)
Annex A controls (2022)
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 includes 93 Annex A controls, reorganized into four themes. You don’t implement every control — you select the ones relevant to your risks and justify the rest in your Statement of Applicability.
- Organizational controls (A.5) — 37 controls
- People controls (A.6) — 8 controls
- Physical controls (A.7) — 14 controls
- Technological controls (A.8) — 34 controls
The Statement of Applicability (SoA)
The SoA is the heart of an ISO 27001 audit. It lists all 93 Annex A controls and, for each, states whether it applies, why, and how it’s implemented. Auditors work directly from it.
Qireon builds and maintains your SoA automatically as you map controls and collect evidence — with live coverage so you always know where you stand, no spreadsheet reconciliation required.
Risk assessment & treatment
ISO 27001 requires a documented, repeatable risk assessment methodology, a risk register, and a risk treatment plan that ties each risk to controls. This is what makes the standard risk-based rather than a checklist.
Qireon’s AI-assisted risk register helps you identify, score, and treat risks consistently, and links treatments to the Annex A controls and evidence that address them.
Documentation you’ll need
A certifiable ISMS includes a defined scope, an information security policy, a risk assessment methodology, the risk register and treatment plan, the Statement of Applicability, measurable objectives, an internal audit programme, and management review records.
Qireon generates and version-controls each of these, maps them to the controls they support, and keeps them current — so your documentation is always audit-ready.
The certification process & timeline
ISO 27001 certification is a two-stage audit performed by an accredited certification body. Stage 1 reviews your ISMS documentation and readiness; Stage 2 is the main audit that tests your controls in practice.
Readiness typically takes a few weeks to a few months with the right platform. The certificate is valid for three years, with annual surveillance audits in years one and two and a recertification audit in year three — which is exactly why continuous compliance matters. Qireon prepares you and gives your auditor a live, read-only workspace to keep every audit fast.

Who needs ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the globally recognized security standard — essential for teams selling into the EU and international enterprise, and for any organization building a mature security program.
ISO 27001 — frequently asked questions.
What is ISO 27001?+
ISO/IEC 27001 is the leading international standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It sets out requirements for how an organization manages information security risk, and it results in a formal certificate recognized worldwide.
Is ISO 27001 a certification?+
Yes. Unlike a SOC 2 report (an attestation), ISO 27001 is a certification issued by an accredited certification body. You receive a certificate you can publicly share, valid for three years with annual surveillance audits.
What is an ISMS?+
An Information Security Management System is the set of policies, processes, controls, and governance an organization uses to manage information security risk. ISO 27001 Clauses 4–10 define the mandatory requirements for operating and continually improving that system.
What is the Statement of Applicability (SoA)?+
The SoA lists all 93 Annex A controls and, for each, states whether it applies, the justification, and how it’s implemented. It’s the central document auditors use during certification. Qireon builds and maintains it for you automatically.
How many controls are in ISO 27001?+
The 2022 version of ISO 27001 has 93 Annex A controls, organized into four themes: Organizational (37), People (8), Physical (14), and Technological (34). You select the controls relevant to your risks and justify the rest in your SoA.
What’s the difference between ISO 27001 and SOC 2?+
ISO 27001 is an international certification centered on a risk-based management system (ISMS), preferred in Europe and globally. SOC 2 is a US-focused attestation report against the Trust Services Criteria. Many companies pursue both — Qireon runs them off one evidence graph so you don’t duplicate work.
How long does ISO 27001 certification take?+
Readiness typically takes a few weeks to a few months with Qireon, followed by the Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. The exact timeline depends on your starting point, scope, and certification body’s availability — but everything within your control is designed to move in weeks, not quarters.
How much does ISO 27001 cost?+
Total cost combines your compliance platform, the accredited certification body’s audit fees, and your team’s time. Qireon replaces manual work and consultant dependency, so most teams spend far less overall. Qireon plans start at $299/month with onboarding included.
What are Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits?+
Stage 1 is a documentation and readiness review where the auditor checks your ISMS is designed correctly. Stage 2 is the main certification audit, where they test whether your controls operate in practice. Passing both earns your certificate.
How often is ISO 27001 audited?+
The certificate is valid for three years. There are annual surveillance audits in years one and two to confirm your ISMS is still operating, and a full recertification audit in year three. Qireon keeps you continuously audit-ready between them.
Does Qireon replace ISO 27001 consultants?+
For many teams, yes. Qireon provides the ISMS structure, expert policy templates, risk methodology, and automation a consultant would — as repeatable software rather than a one-time engagement. When you do use auditors, we make collaboration seamless.
Can my certification body access Qireon?+
Yes. You invite your auditor to a signed, read-only workspace with your scope, SoA, controls, risks, and evidence — always current. It replaces emailing documents back and forth and makes Stage 1 and Stage 2 far smoother.
Can I migrate existing documentation?+
Yes. During onboarding — included on every plan — we map your existing policies, controls, risk register, and evidence into Qireon, so you build on the work you’ve already done rather than starting over.
Can Qireon handle ISO 27001 alongside SOC 2 or HIPAA?+
Yes. Qireon runs ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR off one evidence graph. Map a control once and satisfy it across every framework — so stacking your second or third standard is a step, not a restart.
