How Much Does ISO 27001 Cost?
The cost of ISO 27001 certification varies based on several factors. Some consultants and certifiers adopt charging models based on the project's complexity, company size, and sometimes even the company's turnover.
At Certigence, our pricing is straightforward, calculated by multiplying an agreed day rate by the number of days work. This is based on the work to be done, mitigated by any the company has done already or will be doing internally. This ensures clarity and transparency, giving you a clear understanding of the commitment before the project commences.
We provide a free telephone or Zoom consultation with one of our consultants to find out enough about your organisation to be able to make a formal proposal without charge or obligation. This allows you to research costs for free before making any commitments!
How Can Certigence Consultants Help?
Certigence's extensive consultant network spans the entire UK and has been operating ISO systems expertise combined with industry know-how for over 25 years. This dual proficiency enables them to comprehend your unique needs and translate them into certifier-accepted procedures that genuinely suit your organisation's operations.
Our services encompass full or partial ISO system development and implementation, including GAP analysis and customised internal training to support system functionality. We craft organisation-specific reports tailored to your activities.
Beyond initial implementation, we conduct internal audits, facilitate management review meetings, and offer ongoing maintenance for short, medium, or long terms.

Furthermore, we offer pre- and post-certification review services to address certifier-raised concerns, reinforcing your ISO system's effectiveness.
Process Overview
Initiation and Assessment Discussion
We engage in a free, no-obligation discussion to understand your existing systems and operations, allowing us to generate a formal proposal.
Work Commencement and Collaborative Development
Upon acceptance, collaborative work commences to create and install systems, involving you and your team to ensure alignment with your needs, your understanding and acceptance of the results and compliance with ISO standards.
Initial Assessment (Stage 1): Ensuring Systems Meet Standard
The certifier reviews that systems cover all relevant parameters correctly. You may choose to have our consultant present during the initial assessment to assist with any questions the certifier may have.
Final Evaluation (Stage 2): Achieving Certification
The consultant ensures internal audit, management review, and training aspects are covered. The certifier conducts the conclusive Stage 2 assessment, verifying operational systems' alignment with Standard requirements. Upon successful completion, you attain Certification.
Why Should You Use a Certigence Consultant?
At Certigence, we match your requirements with suitable consultants based on their industry expertise, proximity, and compatibility. In the event of a consultant's unavailability, a substitute can step in promptly, avoiding project disruptions and re-hiring expenses. Our consultants have often previously worked with certifiers, learning that side of the procedure – facilitating a seamless Certification process.
This commitment reflects in our track record – a 100% first-time certification success rate spanning over 25 years.
