Business Driver for ISO 27001
There were several business drivers for NITS to certify for ISO 27001. The major factor was, improvising on their information management system. This would enable their customers and business contacts to acknowledge the legitimacy of their risk assessment expertise, information handling and data responsibility.
Not only would certification to an internationally recognized standard, like ISO 27001, assist to show compliance with best practices, but it would also highlight the continued commitment of NITS towards information security.
key stages
1. Partnering with CertPro
NITS realized that it would be advantageous to work with a partner who has a track record of successfully implementing and certifying the ISO 27001 system across geographies.
Given that NITS was recognized as an established brand seeking business expansion, CertPro was chosen as the consulting and auditing body due to its cultural fit. Additionally, it generated a flexible plan that increased the audit timetable without sacrificing the comprehensive coverage of NITS’s business operations. Clubbing both their operations quarters under the gamut of a single audit made CertPro the optimal fit as their ISO 27001 auditing partner.

3. Defining the Scope
4. ISMS Implementation
A crucial first step in the certification process was to document the NITS information security management system (ISMS) framework, which was extremely helpful in explaining the management system’s operation both internally and externally. CertPro provided advice on formalizing and integrating management system activities by considering the context, stakeholder concerns, governance structures, and key management system procedures.
Maximizing the use of current business processes and procedures by utilizing and modifying them in the most practical way was one of the main goals of implementing the ISMS.
NITS had already created several information security policies before starting its Information Security certification endeavour. The existing policies were rationalized and made compliant with the ISO 27001:2013 standard by CertPro’s experts and ensured the policies were more accessible to all the interested parties of NITS.
5. Competency
NITS implemented a more systematic approach to information security awareness training as well as developing and monitoring information security competency standards as part of its ISO 27001 implementation project. NITS discovered the need for a more formalized and consistent general information security induction process, ongoing refresher training, and the management of information security competencies for several key information security roles identified within the business through this more structured approach.
