Fast-Track ISO 27001 Certification for Health Tech Expansion
A rapidly growing health technology startup sought ISO 27001 certification to meet strict data security requirements from potential enterprise clients and to facilitate market entry into regulated sectors. With tight timelines and limited internal expertise in information security management, the company turned to us as a strategic partner to streamline certification.
"We truly appreciate the systematic and comprehensive approach, which helped us understand every aspect of ISO standard compliance. The consulting team was responsive and highly experienced, offering practical solutions tailored to our organization’s needs. The consultation materials were clear and applicable, making it easier for our internal team to implement the necessary improvements effectively."-
Challenges
The client was under pressure to achieve ISO/IEC 27001 certification within an aggressive timeline, despite lacking an existing ISMS, facing complex regulatory requirements, and having limited internal security expertise.
Aggressive Timeline: The client needed ISO 27001 certification within 5 months to finalize contracts with major hospital networks.
No Existing ISMS: There was no Information Security Management System (ISMS) in place, and documentation was fragmented.
Regulatory Complexity: The company handled sensitive health data and needed to align its practices with both ISO 27001 and health data regulations (e.g. HIPAA, GDPR).
Limited Internal Capacity: The internal team lacked deep knowledge of information security frameworks and risk-based controls.
Solutions
To address these challenges, we delivered an accelerated and structured engagement — from gap analysis and ISMS development to employee training and hands-on audit support — ensuring the client achieved certification within the required timeframe.
Gap Assessment & Roadmap: We conducted a rapid gap analysis and developed a streamlined, phase-by-phase roadmap tailored to the client’s resources and certification goals.
ISMS Implementation: We helped build the ISMS from the ground up — drafting required documentation, security policies, risk registers, and control procedures in alignment with Annex A controls.
Employee Training: Conducted targeted security awareness and ISMS training sessions to prepare staff for operational and audit readiness.
Audit Preparation & Support: Simulated internal audits and supported the client during the Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits to ensure compliance.
