ISO 27001 — The Complete Hub
The world's most-demanded security certification: ISMS design, certification-readiness and the standards family around it.
ISO 27001 is the certification enterprise customers ask for first. It proves you run a working Information Security Management System — and for IT/ITES, SaaS and consulting firms it is frequently the difference between winning and losing enterprise RFPs.
This hub organises CyberSigma's ISO content: the certification journey in India, realistic costs, the surrounding standards family (27701 privacy, 22301 continuity), and how 27001 relates to SOC 2 and PCI DSS.
Who this applies to
- IT services, BPO/ITES, SaaS and consulting firms answering enterprise security questionnaires.
- Companies entering regulated or global markets where certification is table stakes.
- Organisations consolidating scattered controls into one managed ISMS.
- Triggers: enterprise RFP, vendor-assessment failure, recertification, investor requirement.

Frequently asked questions
How long does ISO 27001 certification take?
Typically 3–6 months to certification-ready for a mid-size organisation, depending on existing controls and scope, plus the certification body's audit scheduling.
What does ISO 27001 cost in India?
Consulting plus certification-body fees vary by size and scope — see our cost guide for realistic bands and what drives them.
ISO 27001 or SOC 2 — which do we need?
Selling to US enterprises usually means SOC 2; global/Indian enterprise procurement usually means ISO 27001. Many controls overlap, so doing both from one ISMS is efficient.
Do you also certify?
We prepare you and coordinate with accredited certification bodies — our senior auditors build the ISMS, run internal audit and stand with you through Stage 1/2.
