ISO 27001 Certification UK
Your roadmap to a more resilient, secure organisation.
What Is ISO 27001 Compliance?
ISO 27001 is a globally recognised standard that helps you put structure around your security efforts. Think of it as a practical guide for building an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that actually works for your organisation, not just on paper, but day-to-day.
If you’re dealing with growing data, hybrid working, new tools, or more people accessing your systems, you’re not alone. These challenges are now the norm for most teams. ISO 27001 simply brings everything together into one clear, manageable framework so you can stay in control.
And while it’s not a legal requirement, many organisations choose it because it shows customers, partners, and employees that their information is in safe hands. It’s a way of saying, “We take this seriously, and here’s the proof.”
You will work with ISO 27001 ISMS certified professionals who understand how to turn the standard into a clear, effective security framework for your organisation.

PCI DSS vs ISO 27001: What Is The Difference?
It is completely normal to mix these two up, especially when juggling several frameworks at the same time. Both are important, but they focus on different parts of your security world.
Here is the simple breakdown:
Focuses on your wider information security. It looks at how the whole organisation protects data, manages risks and builds strong, repeatable processes.
(Payment Card Industry Data) focuses on payment card data. If you store, process or transmit cardholder information, this standard is there to keep those transactions secure.
PCI DSS is created and governed by the major card brands, while ISO 27001 is a globally recognised best practice standard. If your organisation takes card payments and also wants a more complete approach to information security, it is common to work towards both.
ISO 27001 vs GDPR: How Do They Work Together?
If you handle personal data, GDPR is probably something you think about more often than you’d like. Many organisations feel the pressure to get it right. This is where ISO 27001 can make things a little clearer and a lot more manageable.
ISO 27001 gives you a helpful framework that naturally supports many of the processes GDPR expects. Instead of trying to interpret what “appropriate measures” really mean, the standard helps you build steady, consistent routines that protect the personal data you hold.
It can help you:
- Reduce the risk of data breaches
- Strengthen internal processes
- Make security part of everyday behaviour rather than a one-off task
It will not give you full GDPR compliance on its own, but it does take you a long way towards it and gives you more confidence in the way your organisation handles data.

ISO 27001 is only one piece of a much bigger picture. The wider 27000 family brings together a collection of helpful standards that guide you through different areas of information security. Each one has its own purpose and can support you at various points along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
ISO 27001 asks you to build an Information Security Management System that covers risk management, policies, controls, staff awareness and continuous improvement. It is not about having the perfect setup on day one. It is about creating a clear, repeatable way of protecting your information and reducing risk across the organisation.
GDPR and ISO 27001 complement each other, but they are not the same. GDPR focuses on protecting personal data, while ISO 27001 looks at your entire information security approach. Many organisations choose ISO 27001 because it strengthens their GDPR efforts and provides a more structured way to manage risk.
Costs depend on your size, complexity and how much support you need. Smaller organisations usually pay less, while larger or highly regulated businesses may have a higher investment. We work with you to understand your goals and provide a clear, realistic estimate before any work begins.
Yes, absolutely. Smaller organisations often benefit the most because ISO 27001 brings clarity, structure and stronger resilience. It helps you win client trust, protect data, respond to risks faster and build a security culture that scales as you grow.
