Strengthening Information Security With ISO 27001 Consultancy

A UK-based provider of intelligent workspace management solutions wanted to strengthen its approach to information security and align its practices with the internationally recognised ISO 27001 standard.

As a technology-driven organisation handling customer and operational data, the business needed a structured approach to information security governance, risk management and the protection of sensitive information.

Akita delivered specialist ISO 27001 consultancy, supporting the development and implementation of an Information Security Management System (ISMS), helping translate the requirements of the standard into practical measures for the business.

The Challenge

The organisation needed to demonstrate effective governance around how information security risks were identified, managed and continually reviewed.

This meant assessing existing security practices against ISO 27001 requirements, identifying areas requiring further development and establishing the policies, processes and controls needed to support a structured ISMS.

Crucially, the approach needed to be practical and sustainable, rather than treating compliance as a standalone or box-ticking exercise.

The Solution

Akita’s cyber security specialists worked with the organisation to assess its existing information security practices and establish a structured approach aligned with ISO 27001. This included:

• Reviewing existing practices against the requirements of the standard,
• Identifying information security risks, and
• Developing appropriate processes for managing them.

Akita also supported the development of security policies, procedures and supporting documentation, alongside aligning organisational and technical controls with ISO 27001 requirements.

Beyond initial compliance readiness, the engagement focused on establishing an approach that could support ongoing review and continuous improvement.

The Outcome

The project helped the organisation establish a more structured approach to information security management, strengthening security governance and risk management while improving alignment with ISO 27001 requirements.

With an ISMS providing the foundation, the business is better positioned to manage information security consistently and demonstrate a structured approach to protecting sensitive information.

The engagement also demonstrates Akita’s ability to guide SMEs through complex information security standards, translating compliance requirements into practical and sustainable security measures.

Making Information Security Part Of The Business

ISO 27001 is about more than policies and documentation. It provides a framework for organisations to take a structured approach to identifying risks, managing information security and continually reviewing their controls.

Akita’s cyber security experts help organisations interpret these requirements in the context of their own operations, developing an approach that supports both compliance objectives and stronger information security management.

Whether you’re working towards ISO 27001 alignment or looking to strengthen an existing ISMS, Akita can help turn complex requirements into practical security measures for your organisation. Speak to our cyber security specialists.
