ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System Consulting
Protect Critical Information Through Structured Risk Management and Effective Security Controls
Knowledge Kraft helps organizations establish, implement and improve practical information security management systems aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 and their actual business, technology and information risks.
Our consulting approach goes beyond preparing policies for certification. We help organizations identify information-security risks, assign responsibilities, select appropriate controls and build a management system that protects information across people, processes, technology and third parties.
Complete implementation, gap assessment, internal audit and certification-readiness support are available through onsite, remote and hybrid engagements.

What Is ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognized requirements standard for information security management systems. It provides organizations with a structured approach to identifying information-security risks, implementing appropriate controls and continually improving the protection of information.
The standard can be applied by organizations of different sizes and sectors. Its risk-management approach can be adapted according to the organization’s business activities, technology, information assets, customers and operating environment.
An effective ISMS connects:
- Information assets
- Business and customer requirements
- Information-security risks
- Policies and responsibilities
- People and competence
- Physical security
- Technology and cybersecurity
- Supplier and cloud-service risks
- Incident management
- Business continuity
- Legal and contractual requirements
- Monitoring and improvement
The objective is not simply to create security policies. It is to establish a repeatable system for making informed information-security decisions.
