ISO 27001 Readiness

ISO 27001 certification readiness · ISMS · information security management · Updated 2026-07-15

ISO 27001 certifies that you operate an Information Security Management System (ISMS) — a governing structure around your security controls. StackWeaver builds the ISMS as engineered controls and a mapped evidence base, so certification is a verification of how you already operate rather than a parallel paperwork exercise.

What ISO 27001 asks

ISO 27001 requires a risk-based ISMS: context and scope, risk assessment and treatment, a Statement of Applicability against Annex A controls, and continual improvement. The Annex A controls overlap heavily with SOC 2 and PCI DSS — which is exactly why a mapped evidence base pays off.

How StackWeaver approaches it

  • Engineer the Annex A controls that can be enforced technically — access, cryptography, operations security, logging.
  • Capture evidence at the source and map it once, so it also serves SOC 2 and PCI DSS — see Control Mapping.
  • Operate the ISMS continuously so surveillance audits are verification, not rework.

Why the mapped approach matters

Treating ISO 27001 in isolation means re-collecting evidence you already maintain elsewhere. Built on the Evidence Architecture, the marginal cost of adding ISO 27001 to an existing programme is small. This is Trust Infrastructure applied to a specific certification.

Your next step

Take the TEMM assessment to see how close your ISMS already is, or book an assessment and we will map ISO 27001 onto your existing SOC 2 and PCI DSS evidence base.
