Auditors who know information security
Our audits are independent and evidence-based, and our auditors bring genuine competence in information security, so the assessment is rigorous and the findings are useful.
ISO 27001 Certification
Information security,independently certified.
Information is one of the most valuable things an organisation holds, and one of the easiest to lose. ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security, and certification is independent proof that your organisation protects its information deliberately, not by chance. It brings people, process, and technology together under one governance structure, so security is managed as a system rather than treated as a purely technical problem.
What it proves
Security managed as a system, not a technical problem.
Information Security Management System
ISO/IEC 27001 sets out the requirements for an Information Security Management System, known as an ISMS: the framework through which an organisation identifies its information security risks and treats them with a managed set of controls. The current edition, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, reflects the modern threat landscape, including a reorganised control set and new controls covering areas such as cloud services and threat intelligence.
Certification against it proves three things. That you have identified the information security risks that matter to your organisation, rather than guessing at them. That you have put controls in place to treat those risks, drawn from the standard's control set and justified by your own risk assessment. And that the whole system is governed, reviewed, and improved over time, not set up once and forgotten. For customers, partners, and regulators, an ISO 27001 certificate is independent evidence that your information security is real and working, not policy on paper.

Who it is for
Any organisation that holds information worth protecting.
ISO 27001 is relevant to any organisation that holds information worth protecting, which today means almost all of them. In practice, demand is strongest where clients or regulators require proof of information security before they will do business.
This includes IT and software companies that handle client data and are increasingly asked to show a certificate before a contract is signed. It includes banking and financial services organisations, where information security sits under close regulatory attention and customer trust is fundamental. It includes healthcare organisations protecting sensitive patient data across connected systems. And it includes any supplier to larger enterprises, which now routinely require information security certification as a condition of the supply chain.
If your customers send security questionnaires, or your tenders ask for information security certification, ISO 27001 is the recognised answer.
The certification process
A clear, two-stage audit, then a three-year cycle.
Certiva Global certifies ISO 27001 through a clear, two-stage audit, in line with ISO/IEC 17021-1. An optional pre-assessment can be carried out first, to spot improvement areas before the formal cycle begins.
Compliant with ISO/IEC 17021-1
01
Stage 1
Our auditor reviews the design of your ISMS, confirming that the scope, policies, risk assessment, and Statement of Applicability are in place and ready to be assessed.
02
Stage 2
Our auditor gathers evidence that the system operates in practice, examining records, interviewing the people who run the controls, and testing that the system does what your documentation describes. If the evidence supports certification, the certificate is issued.
03
Surveillance & recertification
Certification runs on a three-year cycle, maintained by annual surveillance audits, with a recertification audit at the end, because credible information security is something you sustain, not something you prove once.
How it fits
The foundation for cloud, privacy, and AI standards.
ISO 27001 is more than a standalone credential; it is the foundation that several other standards build on. ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 extend an ISO 27001 information security management system into cloud security and cloud privacy, and are certified as part of it. ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 share the same management system structure, so an organisation with a mature ISO 27001 system is well placed to add privacy or AI governance efficiently.
Starting with ISO 27001 therefore does double duty: it delivers the baseline information security credential most buyers ask for, and it lays the groundwork for the cloud, privacy, and AI standards that increasingly follow. Certiva Global can support your organisation across this wider picture.
Why Certiva Global
Independent, evidence-based, and genuinely competent.
Certiva Global is an independent international certification body based in Hyderabad, serving organisations worldwide and operating in compliance with ISO/IEC 17021-1.
We assess and certify only
We do not build or run your information security management system, and that independence is exactly what gives your certificate its value with the customers, partners, and regulators who rely on it.
Certified to the 2022 edition
We audit and certify to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, so your certificate reflects the current control set, including the newer controls for cloud services and threat intelligence.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
ISO 27001 certification is independent confirmation that your organisation operates an Information Security Management System (ISMS) meeting ISO/IEC 27001, the international standard for information security. A certification body audits the system and, if the evidence supports it, issues the certificate.
The current edition is ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which reorganised the control set and added new controls covering areas such as cloud services and threat intelligence. Certiva Global audits and certifies to the 2022 edition.
Any organisation that holds information worth protecting, especially IT and software companies, banking and financial services organisations, healthcare providers, and suppliers to larger enterprises that require information security certification as a condition of the supply chain.
The audit runs in two stages, Stage 1 and Stage 2, with an optional pre-assessment beforehand. The total time depends on how ready your ISMS is when the audit begins. Certiva Global confirms readiness in Stage 1 before the full assessment.
ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 extend an ISO 27001 information security management system into cloud security and cloud privacy, and are certified as part of it. ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 share the same management system structure, so a mature ISO 27001 system makes adding privacy or AI governance more efficient.
An ISO 27001 certificate is valid for three years, maintained through annual surveillance audits, with a recertification audit at the end of the cycle.
