Steve Watkins, Director – Consultancy and Training at IT Governance, explains, ‘When our team met OmPrompt, they were considering implementing an information security management system (ISMS) compliant with ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and a quality management system (QMS) compliant with ISO 9001:2008 to improve their operations, implement best practice and ensure that they meet anticipated client demands.’
Watkins continues, ‘Before embarking on a big project like this, OmPrompt wanted more clarity in terms of the investment they were about to make. The gap analysis our consultants conducted identified the scale of their ISO27001 project including budget, timescales and resources needed to successfully implement an ISMS and achieve certification thereafter.’
Following the gap analysis the IT Governance consultants were asked by OmPrompt to help them implement an ISO27001-compliant ISMS and to maintain an ISO9001-compliant QMS.
Implementing an ISO27001-compliant ISMS offers tangible business benefits including: increase in external customer satisfaction, ability to tender for and win new contracts, increase in the quality control of information security processes and procedures and reduction in the level of risk.
The IT Governance consultants have supported in excess of 100 clients through successful ISO27001 certification projects. The IT Governance ISO27001 consultancy service is bespoke and can be tailored to the requirements and budget of any organisation.
