With the launch of Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October, we wish to remind organizations that the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 transition deadline is October 31, 2025.
Given the deadline’s imminence, you can contact us to see if we can facilitate the transition process in time. However, this depends on factors including your location, auditor availability and the gap between when you contact us and the deadline. We will do our utmost to meet your needs.
If you miss the deadline, your existing ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification becomes invalid, potentially leading to loss of business, along with trust, compliance and contractual issues, and fines. To avoid these problems, you will need to undergo a full audit to achieve ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
First of all, don’t panic. With years of worldwide experience in information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection, we will work determinedly to reduce the gap between lapsed and new certification.
Our global network of experts will help you along the path to certification with an ISO/IEC 27001 audit. Your audit can include a gap assessment and benchmarking. We will determine your level of information security competence and provide advice on how to achieve ongoing improvement.
We can also provide a range of ISO/IEC 27001 training courses to equip you with the knowledge and skills to perform audits and implement an information security management system (ISMS).
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection – replaced its 2013 predecessor on October 25, 2022. The 2022 edition reflects that the threats, their severity and frequency faced by organizations have changed since the 2013 edition. It also allows for realignment with the updated ISO/IEC 27002.
The long-term benefits include:
