ISO 27001 implementation project

Answer: The first and most critical step is to get management support for the project. Implementing information security will need resources in terms of people, material and capital, and most of all, it involves cultural change, and for that you will need top management support and involvement.

To help you with Top Management, I suggest you to use our Project proposal for ISO 27001 / ISO 22301 implementation and Project plan for ISO 27001 / ISO 22301 implementation that you can find at these links:

- https://info.advisera.com/27001academy/free-download/project-plan-for-iso-27001-iso-22301-implementation

These documents can be adjusted to your organization context and can help you explain the importance of ISO 27001 to the business and how the implementation should be conducted.

Regarding the gap asses sment phase, I suggest you to take a look at our Free ISO 27001 Gap Analysis Tool at this link: https://advisera.com/27001academy/free-iso-27001-gap-analysis-tool/

Its question-and-answer format allows you to visualize which specific elements of an information security management system you’ve already implemented, and what you still need to do.
