Full-cycle Consulting for ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Compliance

Compliance with ISO 27001 requires both deep expertise in the regulatory framework and understanding of Client workflows to properly structure, implement, and validate the essential ISMS components. Therefore, we started with stakeholder interviews to discover CIGen’s existing processes and map the framework requirements accordingly.

As off-the-shelf ISMS templates didn’t fit the agile business model CIGen follows, we also closely collaborated with the Client’s engineering and DevSecOps teams to adapt policies and controls to the company’s way of working. As a part of this, we:

• Assessed compliance readiness
• Conducted security gap analysis
• Designed a custom ISMS framework
• Introduced ISMS to the company’s workflows

The implementation of formal security governance practices often leads to a slowdown in operations. Given GICen’s fast delivery pace, our priority was to prevent any of such delays. Thus, we decided to extend formal policies with practical adjustments and created a custom methodology for achieving ISO 27001 certification.

According to it, we embedded compliance requirements right into the Client’s operational reality and ensured transparent communication of these changes to the team. As a result, we not only minimized frictions in the workflow but helped CIGen foster a proactive security mindset across the departments, through:

• Infosec and compliance workshops
• Informational security awareness training
• Risk management sessions facilitation
