Need Help Determining If ISO Is Right for You?

We can help with your specialized needs

ISO Engagements have become increasingly important for any organizations, specifically for those delivering products and services outside of the continental United States. ISO has allowed for a standardization of requirements and controls to be implemented throughout organizations which provides customers with a sense of calm that the systems and data being utilized are protected. HAC takes these standards very seriously and aims to continually position itself as the premier provider of quality ISO reports for organizations who aim to deliver peace of mind.

Learn more below about the different types of ISO reports we deliver to determine which report is best for your company:

  • ISO 27001:2013 & 27001:2022
    Provides a framework and the necessary requirements of the design, implementation, and continuous monitoring of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Have you considered your organization’s ability to sufficiently protect your systems and data?
  • ISO 27701:2019
    Provides organizations guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).

Process

Year 1 – Initial ISO Certification

  • Stage 1 audit is usually carried out over 1 or 2 days and typically occurs onsite. For organizations with more than 1 location, the audits are usually carried out at your central function location.
  • Stage 2 audit evaluates the implementation and effectiveness of your organization’s management system(s).

Year 2 – Surveillance

  • The first of the Surveillance Audits is still checking that the documented processes comply with the Standard, but will only look at several mandatory processes and a selection of the remaining processes.

Year 3 – Surveillance

  • The final year in the three-year cycle will consist of another Surveillance Audit, covering several mandatory processes and the remaining processes not covered in the previous year.
