Implementing the documentation in a very small company

I am part of a really small company but we work on high-end projects where security of materials and system access is pretty important. Given that, can you give me some basic advice on how to go about this? Should I just go through each doc and delete sections that definitely don't apply or maybe write a note next to them that says "does not apply"?

Answer:

If you want to be fully compliant with ISO 27001, you should use our toolkit and go step by step through the folders and write all the required documents. However, since you have only a couple of employees, you should take care of the following:
1) You should aim to write as little documents as possible - if you open a PDF document called "List of documents" in your toolkit, you'll see which documents are mandatory - this means that you'll write other documents only if you consider them as necessary.
2) Our documents are already short, but you should shorten them even more if you feel part of the text doesn't apply to you - in other words, when editing the documents you should not write "does not apply" for particular section, simply delete that section. By the way, you will have to specify which security controls are not applicable to your company in the Statement of Applicability.
