ISO 27001 Compliance Services

Frequently Asked Questions

• What's the difference between SOC 2 and ISO-27001?

  There’s about an 80% overlap between ISO-27001 and SOC 2 criteria, but SOC 2 is a US industry-specific attestation, while ISO-27001 is a broader, internationally recognized certification emphasizing a comprehensive information security management system (ISMS) for any organization.
  
  Also, because the ISO-27001 certification's timeframe of achievement and maintenance is more extensive than SOC 2, it requires more systems, policies and is more robust.

• What is the validity period of an ISO-27001 certification?

  ISO 27001 certifications are valid for 3 years. Recertification occurs every three years, with surveillance audits conducted after the first and second years to ensure ongoing compliance.

• Once we are ISO-27001 certified, how can our company demonstrate proof to requestors?

  BEMO Compliance customers are provided a public-facing compliance page that they can share with their customers, partners, etc. This portal displays the current status of your compliance framework and security control status in your environment, assuring that you are meeting the requirements. 

• How does BEMO compare to a traditional iso 27001 consultant?

  Most ISO 27001 certification companies stop at advisory services. BEMO goes beyond advisory. We implement controls, manage your GRC platform, handle auditor communications, and maintain your compliance posture year-round.
