ISO 27001

Our end-to-end ISO 27001 program management helps companies build a formal Information Security Management System (ISMS) to demonstrate trust, enter global markets, and accelerate sales.

Global Growth Demands an ISO 27001 Certification.

For companies expanding into international markets, ISO 27001 is the global standard for security. But building and maintaining a formal ISMS is a massive undertaking that can drain your resources and stall growth.

  • The Hidden Tax of an Internal ISO 27001 Effort

  • What starts as a side project quickly consumes your most valuable resources, draining the time of the very people you need focused on building and selling your product.

Frame (2)

CTO Time Sink

CTO get trapped in audit meetings, trying to project-manage a complex framework they don't have time to learn.

Frame (3)

Your Best Engineers, Sidelined

Your highest-paid developers are pulled from the roadmap to write policies and gather evidence-a recipe for missed deadlines.

Frame (4)

A Derailed Product Roadmap

The internal effort becomes a "shadow project" that consumes sprints and stalls innovation, giving competitors an opening.

Our Three-Phase Methodology for ISO 27001 Certification

Warning: Not All ISO 27001 Consultants Are Created Equal.

The market is flooded with junior consultants who focus on one thing: getting green checks in a tool. This "checkbox compliance" approach won't stand up to the scrutiny of a savvy enterprise buyer and it won't actually make you more secure.

The Checkbox Consultant

  • Staffed with junior analysts who lack real-world enterprise experience.

  • Focuses only on passing the audit, leaving you vulnerable between cycles.

  • Lacks the procurement expertise to help your sales team win deals.

The Truvo Partnership

  • Led by ex-Accenture, enterprise-grade experts with Industry certifications.

  • Builds an effective security program where compliance is an outcome, but not the entire objective.

  • We've designed the security gates your buyers use-and we help you pass them.

Why Our Security First Approach is Better

A compliance certificate isn't enough. We focus on building a defensible program that
gives you a real competitive edge.

Hackers Don't Read Audits

Our primary goal is to lower your actual risk of a breach by implementing robust security controls that deter real-world threats.

ISO 27001 Frequently Asked Questions

The simplest way to think about it is that ISO 27001 is a global standard for how you manage your security program, while SOC 2 is a report on how your security controls are operating. ISO 27001 involves building a formal Information Security Management System (ISMS), which is highly respected internationally. SOC 2 is more common for demonstrating trust specifically within the North American market. We often help clients achieve both.

The timeline depends on the maturity of your existing security program. For a SMB company starting from scratch, the "Build" phase to prepare for the audit typically takes 2-3 months. The audit itself consists of a Stage 1 (documentation review) and Stage 2 (main audit) assessment. Our program-first approach is designed to streamline this entire process and get you audit-ready as efficiently as possible.

If you are selling to customers outside of North America, especially in Europe and Asia-Pacific, ISO 27001 is often a contractual requirement. It is the globally recognized standard for information security management. While SOC 2 is excellent for the North American market, ISO 27001 certification demonstrates a formal, risk-based approach to security that international partners and enterprise clients expect to see.

An ISMS, or Information Security Management System, is the formal framework of policies, procedures, and controls that you use to manage security risks. The goal of ISO 27001 is to help you build and continuously improve this system. While it can be complex to maintain internally, our "Operate" service is designed to handle this for you. We manage the ongoing tasks, evidence collection, and internal audits to ensure you stay compliant year-round without distracting your team.

GRC platforms like Vanta and Drata are excellent for automating evidence collection, but they are tools, not a strategy. They can't conduct a risk assessment for you, write a compelling system description, or navigate the nuances of an audit. Our service provides the expert "human layer" on top of the automation. We build the security program and configure the tool to support it, ensuring you not only pass the audit but also have a truly defensible security posture.
