How we help you

Three ways to get a grip on your information security today, from first exploration to year-round control.

No agency. No juniors. One senior specialist.

A traditional agency sells you the senior and sends the junior, who learns at your expense. AuditDirect works the other way around: as an independent platform we match you directly with one self-employed specialist with at least 7 years of experience in your standard. You pay for expertise, not for overhead.

  1. 01

    You submit a request

    In five minutes you tell us where you stand, which standard it concerns and when you want to be certified.

  2. 02

    We match the specialist

    Not whoever happens to be available, but the consultant who already knows your standard and sector. You decide after a no-obligation call.

  3. 03

    You work together directly

    Direct agreements and one fixed point of contact through to the certificate. No layers in between that talk along and bill along.

Our 4-step process

Step 1

Documentation & Smart Preparation

This crucial start-up phase covers mapping your current situation completely and defining the scope. We make the mandatory, but often tedious, documentation work as simple as possible. You are not buried under complicated theories about risk management and the PDCA cycle. Instead, we use clear templates and hands-on guidance to put down a strong, audit-ready foundation right away. You do not have to reinvent the wheel; you follow a proven path.

Step 2

Implementation & Real Operations

This is the most valuable and impactful step, where information security truly comes alive within your organization. Our starting point is that controls should fit your existing processes as much as possible. That way ISO 27001 does not become a paper handbook, but an integral part of daily operations. By involving a broad group of knowledge and expertise holders, we make sure responsibility is shared. The result? Evidence is always in order, so annual audits never cause unnecessary stress.

Step 3

Audit & Successful Certification

This is the exciting step where all the preparatory work comes together. We start with a thorough internal audit, the perfect dress rehearsal to verify that documentation and implementation have been completed successfully. We then guide you through the quotation process for the external audit and advise you in choosing an independent auditor who is a good fit. We support you during both Stage 1 (documentation review) and the more extensive Stage 2 (implementation review) of the certification.

Step 4

Maintenance & Sustainable Follow-up

After certification the real work begins: keeping your status. Many companies drop everything after certification, which leads to a huge stress peak and extra costs at the annual surveillance audits. That is why we build simple but effective structures into the process from the start. Mandatory annual actions (management reviews, internal audits, risk evaluations) keep running automatically and you keep your certificate effortlessly, without annual panic.

Frequently asked questions

What is ISO 27001?

The global standard for information security. You set up a management system (ISMS) that demonstrably manages risks: 10 mandatory chapters plus 93 controls from Annex A. The certificate proves to customers and partners that security is embedded in your daily operations.

How long does ISO 27001 certification take?

On average 2 to 6 months. Small companies that already have the basics in order achieve it in 2 to 3 months; large or complex organizations need longer.

How much does ISO 27001 certification cost?

Guidance depends on your size and complexity. The external audit by an independent certification body starts around 4,000 to 5,000 euros, with annual follow-up audits of 1,500 to 2,500 euros. Beware of providers promising extremely low prices.

Is ISO 27001 required?

Legally usually not, commercially often yes. Government, healthcare, financial services and SaaS vendors demand it in practice, and it helps make your GDPR obligations demonstrable.
