ISO 27001 Certification
Information Security Management System (ISMS) implementatie & certificering
ISO 27001 Certification
ISO 27001 is the global standard for information security. The certificate demonstrates that your organization systematically manages security risks and continuous improvement. At Neo Security we guide the complete process - from gap analysis to certification and annual maintenance.
Why ISO 27001 certification?
ISO 27001 is more than a certificate - it is a systematic approach to information security that builds trust with customers, partners and stakeholders. In a time when data breaches are daily news, ISO 27001 shows that your organization takes security seriously.
The standard provides a framework for identifying, managing and continuously improving security risks. It is not about perfect security, but about proven working processes for risk management.
The result: Structurally better security, increased customer confidence and competitive advantage in a security-conscious market.

Sectors where ISO 27001 is critical
Although ISO 27001 is valuable for any organization, there are sectors where the certificate is essential for business continuity and customer trust.
Compliance integration: ISO 27001 often forms the basis for other compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2 and industry-specific requirements. One well-implemented ISMS supports multiple compliance objectives.

CISO (anonymous) quote: "Our ISO 27001 certification opened doors that were previously closed. Customers explicitly ask for it in tenders and our cyber insurance became 30% cheaper. It was an investment that paid for itself within the first year."
