With the launch of Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October, we wish to remind organizations that the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 transition deadline is October 31, 2025.
Given the deadline’s imminence, you can contact us to see if we can facilitate the transition process in time. However, this depends on factors including your location, auditor availability and the gap between when you contact us and the deadline. We will do our utmost to meet your needs.
If you miss the deadline, your existing ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification becomes invalid, potentially leading to loss of business, along with trust, compliance and contractual issues, and fines. To avoid these problems, you will need to undergo a full audit to achieve ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
Here to help if you miss the deadline
First of all, don’t panic. With years of worldwide experience in information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection, we will work determinedly to reduce the gap between lapsed and new certification.
Our global network of experts will help you along the path to certification with an ISO/IEC 27001 audit. Your audit can include a gap assessment and benchmarking. We will determine your level of information security competence and provide advice on how to achieve ongoing improvement.
We can also provide a range of ISO/IEC 27001 training courses to equip you with the knowledge and skills to perform audits and implement an information security management system (ISMS).
Why ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection – replaced its 2013 predecessor on October 25, 2022. The 2022 edition reflects that the threats, their severity and frequency faced by organizations have changed since the 2013 edition. It also allows for realignment with the updated ISO/IEC 27002.
What are the benefits of ISO/IEC 27001 certification?
The long-term benefits include:
- Enhanced credibility
- Reduced risk of fraud, information loss and disclosure
- Demonstration of integrity to your system
- Business culture transformation and greater awareness of the importance of keeping information secure
- A stronger notion of confidentiality throughout the workplace
- New business opportunities with security-conscious customers
- Better preparedness for the unavoidable – the next security event or incident
