ISO 27001 & ISO 27701 Internal Audit Services
The challenge
Ongoing compliance
Maintaining ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification requires regular internal audits of your Information Security Management System (ISMS) and Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). These audits ensure your systems remain effective, compliant, and ready for external assessment.
Lack of resources
Having access to a member of staff who has the knowledge to conduct an audit of an ISMS or a PIMS and who is objective is difficult to find. BH Consulting provide Internal Audit services for many of our clients for this reason, including for ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 27018 certification.
Proven audit support
BH Consulting provide Internal Audit services for many of our clients including for ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 27018 certification. Clients value this service as we provide an entirely independent and informed review of the controls they have in place.
The service
An Internal Audit examines the Information Security Management System (ISMS) for continuous certification to the ISO 27001 Information Security Standard.
ISO/IEC 27701 is an extension of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 which provides a typical framework for extending your ISMS, including the more specific requirements and guidance for protecting your organisation’s personally identifiable information (PII), together constituting a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).
The Internal Audit is carried out against the requirements of ISO 27001 (and where applicable the ISO 27701 standard), to screen for and identify possible non-conforming controls. The deliverable is a set of relevant
recommendations to help close these gaps and better align with the standards in scope.
Benefits
Test the effectiveness of your information security and privacy management against the requirements of ISO 27001 or ISO 27701
Gain from using an external specialist organisation to carry out independent auditing services
Avail of expertise which can be hard to resource internally
Testimonials
“We engaged the services of BH Consulting in September to act as our DPO. They have expertly guided us through our GDPR journey, helping us to finalise our requirements to meet the GDPR standards. They have done this in a professional manner all the while aware of our limited time resources. Our DPO Annemarie, understands the way in which we work and has completely adapted her approach to suit our needs. I couldn’t recommend Annemarie and the team at BH consulting highly enough.”
“We found BH Consulting to be a huge help in achieving our ISO 27001 certification as they put so much structure on the process and helped us along every step of the way. Their knowledge and guidance the whole way along the journey was reassuring and really made the process seamless and easy to follow and understand. They were there to keep us accountable and ensure we were progressing at our bi-weekly meetings. We would definitely recommend BH Consulting to any organisation thinking of going for ISO 27001 certification and so quickly and cost effectively was a massive relief. The expertise BH Consulting provided to ensure we have a robust GDPR compliance framework in place was great. We would have no hesitation recommending BH Consulting to others in a similar position.”
“Make-A-Wish Ireland has been working with BH Consulting for three years and have found them to be incredibly supportive. GDPR can be extremely challenging and yet, for an organisation like ours, it is critical to be on top of everything at all times as we deal with such highly sensitive data. The support we have been given is practical, logical, and most importantly calming. They have demystified the complexities and have done repeated training with our team in order for everyone to be comfortable with all aspects. We would highly recommend any company to work with BH Consulting. A special thanks must go to Tracy Elliott who has worked with us since the start.”
“BH Consulting have been our CISO since February 2019 and we have found their expertise to be extremely beneficial. They are very accessible when we need them and are very pragmatic in the advice they give. We really like the fact that they are independent and not tied to any vendors or solutions. We have confidence that BH Consulting are there with the right expertise and advice when we need them.”
“BH Consulting provide a reliable and valuable service to our organisation. Their expertise and continued guidance has been a great support to us since the introduction of GDPR.”
