How Companies Achieved ISO 27001 in Record Time
Real examples of successful ISO 27001 implementations that accelerated business growth
Gray Digital is a growing digital services company providing innovative technology solutions for business clients. As they expanded their operations and customer base, Gray Digital recognized the need to establish a comprehensive governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) program to protect their business and build trust with enterprise customers. With their team focused on digital service delivery and client projects, they lacked the specialized expertise needed to efficiently initiate and implement an effective GRC program.
Stride Health, a leading cloud-based healthcare software company, partnered with Workstreet to transform their security and compliance program from a resource-intensive burden into a strategic business advantage. Over two years, Workstreet delivered exceptional results: 90% reduction in audit findings, 95% reduction in internal team time commitment, and zero findings in the latest penetration test—all while maintaining full HIPAA and NIST 800-53 compliance.
ISO 27001 FAQs
Common questions about AI-native ISO 27001 compliance
27001 is global, SOC 2 is US-centric. ISO 27001 is a comprehensive international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) that covers all aspects of information security governance. SOC 2 is a US-focused framework primarily for service organizations handling customer data. ISO 27001 provides a systematic approach to managing security risks organization-wide, while SOC 2 focuses on specific trust service criteria. Many global companies pursue both - ISO 27001 for international credibility and comprehensive security management, and SOC 2 for US market requirements.
ISO 27001 certification typically takes 6-12 months but, with Workstreet, it takes 90-120 days. The process includes gap analysis, ISMS implementation, internal audits, management review, and the two-stage external audit. With Workstreet's systematic approach and expertise, we help streamline this timeline while ensuring thorough implementation of all 114 controls in Annex A.
ISO 27001:2022 Annex A contains 93 security controls organized into four themes: Organizational (37 controls), People (8 controls), Physical (14 controls), and Technological (34 controls). These controls cover everything from information security policies and risk management to access control, cryptography, and incident management. During implementation, you'll conduct a risk assessment to determine which controls are applicable to your organization and document this in your Statement of Applicability (SoA).
While SOC 2 demonstrates strong security controls, ISO 27001 offers additional value for growing companies, especially those with international customers or expansion plans. ISO 27001 is globally recognized, provides a comprehensive ISMS framework, and is often required by European and other international clients. Many Workstreet clients pursue both certifications strategically - SOC 2 for US market access and ISO 27001 for global credibility and comprehensive security governance.
ISO 27001 requires continuous maintenance including annual surveillance audits, internal audits at planned intervals, management reviews, risk assessments updates, and a full recertification audit every three years. You'll also need to maintain documentation, monitor security metrics, conduct employee training, and manage any changes to your ISMS. Workstreet provides ongoing AI-powered services to help you maintain compliance efficiently and prepare for all required audits.
