ISO/IEC 27001 Certification
Overview
CI Global, a leading software development firm with over 30 years of innovation under its belt, partnered with us to implement a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) and achieve ISO 27001 certification. With a clear vision to strengthen their security posture and align with international standards, CI Global set out to embed security best practices deep into their operations. Our comprehensive compliance solution made the transformation seamless, efficient, and audit-ready.
The Challenge
CI Global’s operational diversity meant each internal project followed a unique workflow. Standardizing these into a unified, organization-wide security framework was critical for achieving ISO 27001 compliance. Additionally, ensuring policies, procedures, and documentation were tailored and actionable across teams required a structured yet flexible approach.
Our Approach
We empowered CI Global’s certification journey using our cutting-edge compliance SaaS platform, built to streamline every step of the process:
Tailored ISMS Framework
Our team worked closely with CI Global to craft a complete ISMS tailored to their operations. Leveraging our platform’s customizable policy engine, we transformed industry-aligned templates into dynamic, organization specific policies and procedures in just days something that would traditionally take weeks using manual methods.
Accelerated Documentation & Approvals
All policies were reviewed, customized, and approved swiftly within our platform. The built-in automation and template library reduced the administrative burden and improved stakeholder collaboration across the board.
Centralized Evidence Management with Artifacts
Our integrated Artifacts module became the central repository for all compliance documentation—from evidence to trackers and supporting files. During the external audit, CI Global showcased their readiness by presenting the entire evidence stack directly from our platform streamlining the auditor experience and reducing back-and-forth significantly.
SOP Standardization Across Teams
To align processes across projects, we collaborated with individual teams to understand their workflows and consolidate them into standardized SOPs all within a week. This ensured both flexibility and compliance, without disrupting day to day operations.
Product Testing & Gap Analysis
As part of our end-to-end service, we conducted VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) for CI Global’s applications. The actionable insights from this helped them fortify their security, aligning with ISO 27001’s technical control requirements.
Information Security Awareness Training
We delivered impactful training sessions tailored to all CI Global employees. Training emphasized practical best practices and each employee’s role in safeguarding company data, making InfoSec a shared responsibility
The Outcome
As a company with over 30 years of experience, CI Global proactively chose to pursue ISO 27001 certification not out of obligation, but as a strategic move to prioritize customer data protection and build a lasting security culture. This commitment reinforced long standing trust, strengthened their credibility, and showcased their dedication to fostering a security first mindset across the organization.
Strategic Gains
By leveraging our platform and hands-on support, CI Global streamlined their ISO 27001 certification journey with ease. Policies were customized and approved in days, SOPs were rolled out across teams without disruption, and audit evidence was organized and accessible in one place. They cut down compliance effort by over 60% all while enhancing their overall security posture through targeted VAPT insights. The result? A strong, scalable ISMS built to support long-term growth.
