ISO 27001

ISO 27001
Compliance, Quantum-Ready.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the gold-standard Information Security Management System for systematically identifying, treating, and monitoring information-security risk across people, processes, and technology. QSECS builds quantum-readiness directly into your risk register and the Annex A cryptography controls, so your ISMS treats the post-quantum threat as a managed, auditable risk. The result is a certification that stays defensible as cryptographic standards shift.

Understanding ISO 27001

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 sets out the requirements for establishing, operating, and continually improving an Information Security Management System that protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information.

At its core, ISO 27001 is a risk-based ISMS: you define the scope and context, assess information-security risks, and apply a structured treatment plan. The 2022 revision reorganised Annex A into 93 controls grouped across four themes — organizational, people, physical, and technological — making the control set clearer to scope and easier to map against modern threats. A Statement of Applicability records which controls apply and why, while internal audit and management review keep the system honest.

Certification follows a defined cycle. A Stage 1 audit reviews your documentation and readiness, a Stage 2 audit assesses the ISMS in operation, and certification is then maintained through annual surveillance audits with full recertification every three years. Between audits, the continual-improvement loop — corrective actions, internal audits, and management reviews — ensures the ISMS adapts as risks, technology, and regulatory expectations evolve.

What ISO 27001 Covers

ISMS scope & context: defining boundaries, interested parties, and information-security objectives.

Risk assessment and treatment: identifying, analysing, and treating information-security risks with documented controls.

Annex A (2022) controls, including cryptography (A.8.24) and key-management practices.

Statement of Applicability: justifying which controls are included or excluded and how they are implemented.

Internal audit, management review, and continual improvement to keep the ISMS effective over time.

The Quantum Clock Is Ticking

NIST projects that quantum computers capable of breaking RSA-2048 could arrive by 2030-2035, and its post-quantum migration guidance sets that window as the deadline to deprecate today's vulnerable cryptography. Adversaries are already running "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" campaigns. Your compliance program has to evolve before the deadline — not after.

Staying Current

How QSECS Keeps Your ISO 27001 Future-Proof

QSECS keeps your ISMS current through the post-quantum transition, treating cryptographic obsolescence as a tracked risk and aligning controls and audits with emerging PQC standards.

We add quantum-computing and "harvest now, decrypt later" exposure to your risk register, so cryptographic obsolescence is formally assessed, owned, and tracked within the ISMS.

We strengthen your cryptography and key-management controls (A.8.24) by mapping them to the NIST post-quantum standards — FIPS 203, 204, and 205 — and documenting a crypto-agile migration path.

We use the continual-improvement cycle and annual surveillance audits as checkpoints to plan and verify your migration well before the NIST 2030-2035 deadline.

We provide ongoing ISMS upkeep — refreshing the Statement of Applicability, risk treatment plans, and control evidence as your environment and the threat landscape change.

We support you through internal audits, management reviews, and surveillance and recertification audits, keeping certification continuous and audit-ready year over year.
