Free • ISO 27001 • Readiness Checklist

Get a clear ISO 27001 starting point, before you waste weeks on the wrong work.

This free Readiness Kit helps you assess scope, evidence, and obvious gaps. It is designed to orient your team, not replace the templates and implementation work most companies need next.

What you’ll get

  • • 12-section readiness checklist, so you can see what belongs in scope first
  • • Minimum evidence pack summary, so you know what to gather before an auditor or buyer asks
  • • Common failure patterns, so you avoid fake progress and last-minute scrambling
  • • A practical next-step bridge, so you know whether to DIY, use templates, or get a tailored setup

Who it’s for

  • • SaaS startups preparing for a first ISO 27001 certification
  • • Founders or operators who need a realistic starting point, not a consultant pitch
  • • Teams under buyer, customer, or investor diligence pressure

What’s inside

The first five steps you should get straight

  1. Define scope: start with the systems and teams that matter most.
  2. Run a risk assessment: identify key assets, threats, and likely impact.
  3. Draft the SoA: show which controls apply and why.
  4. Assign ownership: make security work clearly owned.
  5. Set the baseline: get the core policy and evidence areas under control.

Minimum evidence pack

  • • Asset register
  • • Risk register
  • • Access logs and review cadence
  • • Onboarding and offboarding checklist
  • • Incident log, even for minor incidents

Common pitfalls this checklist helps avoid

  • • Writing too much policy before defining scope and risk
  • • Collecting evidence too late and scrambling before review
  • • Leaving ownership vague across engineering, ops, and leadership
  • • Treating the audit as a one-off event instead of an operating process
