ISO 27001 Certification Readiness for a Growing Insurer
A mid-sized insurer (anonymized)
Illustrative example. This scenario is a representative composite used to demonstrate our engagement approach, not a specific named client. Real case studies will replace this content as they are published.
The Challenge
A growing insurer needed to achieve ISO 27001 certification to satisfy an enterprise client's vendor security requirements, but had no formal information security management system in place.
The Investigation
We conducted a gap assessment against the ISO 27001 control set, reviewing existing policies, technical controls, and staff awareness levels to identify what was missing versus what needed strengthening.
The Solution
Our GRC team built the information security management system from the ground up — policies, risk register, and control evidence — and ran a role-based awareness program so staff understood their part in maintaining certification, ahead of the external audit.

"We went from having almost no formal security governance to passing our first ISO audit — and the client contract that depended on it went ahead on schedule."
