ISO27001 ISMS Toolkits
The hardest part of achieving ISO27001 certification is the documentation of the Information Security Management System (ISMS). The documentation that is necessary to create a conforming system can, particularly in more complex businesses, be up to thousand pages.
Our documentation toolkits offer this documentation in a pre-written, templated format, along with a selection of other tools to help you save hundreds of hours.
This page will help you find the right toolkit for your project.
Here is a sample of some of the customer reviews for our documentation toolkits:
"Essential...for information security professionals in these days of increased focus on compliance and standards." - Milo Doyle, Head of Information Security, EBS Building Society, Ireland.
"For complete coverage of the standard, this...is unparalleled." - Dr Jon G Hall, Open University.
"...a critical source when preparing and managing the ISMS." - Bill Pepper, Director of Security Risk Management CSC NR Royal Pavilion.
"...a comprehensive guide as to actions that should be taken." - Nigel Turnbull, Chairman, Lasmo Plc, author of the Turnbull Report.

A toolkit can accelerate your ISO27001 project immensely. The key benefits of a toolkit are:
-
A toolkit is cheaper than one days’ consultancy
-
Provides clear guidance on the role of risk assessment
-
Template documents are easy to edit and customise
-
Template documents save you time on research
-
Template documents save you time on procedure writing
-

Importantly, you do not want hundreds and hundreds of policies, after all ISO27001 only requires 7 policies. By purchasing a toolkit, you receive a set of policies and procedures that really enable you to implement ISO27001.
