Procedure for ISO 27001 certification
Approach to ISO 27001 certification using the NIST 800-30 standard for risk analysis:
-
Preliminary discussion with management
The first and most important step is management's decision and full commitment to an information security management system. Senior management must understand the need and fully support the project.
-
Form a project team
We work with a project team of your choice. Involve employees from different departments such as IT, data protection, risk management, etc. who are responsible for the ISMS implementation. We can also act as an external information security officer.
-
Risk analysis according to NIST 800-30
We perform a comprehensive risk analysis according to the NIST 800-30 standard. This structured process includes the steps of system characterization, threat identification, vulnerability analysis, risk analysis and assessment, and risk management recommendations.
-
Gap-Analyse
The results of the risk analysis are compared with the requirements of ISO 27001 to identify gaps and areas for action.
-
Training and awareness raising
We train your employees in the basics of information security, the ISO 27001 requirements and explain the benefits and objectives of the ISMS. -

Surveillance audits / recertification
As Scopewire Data GmbH, your partner for digital compliance and security solutions, we know how important regular surveillance audits are for maintaining your ISO 27001 certification. Continuous improvement and information security are at the heart of this recognized standard. Surveillance audits are a central part of the 3-year cycle of ISO 27001. They serve to check the ongoing conformity and effectiveness of your information security management system (ISMS). The first surveillance audit takes place around 12 months after the initial certification, followed by the second audit another 12 months later. After the 3 years have passed, re-certification is due, during which your entire ISMS is again examined in detail. Compared to the initial certification audit, surveillance audits are shorter in duration, as only partial areas are checked on a random basis. The certification body creates an audit plan with the areas to be checked and time frames, which is sent to you in advance. For a smooth audit, all relevant ISMS documents such as manuals, risk assessments, procedural instructions, etc. must be up to date and available. The involvement of employees from the areas to be audited for interviews is also essential. A key checkpoint is that your company pursues a culture of continuous improvement in information security and that deviations are systematically dealt with. After the audit, you will receive a report with results, deviations and necessary corrective measures. At Scopewire, we support you in optimally preparing for surveillance and re-certification audits. Our digital ISMS solutions enable seamless documentation, risk monitoring and analysis of all security-relevant processes. This means you always have an overview of your certification status.
