Faster certification prep
ISO 27001 is the world's most recognized information security standard. It provides a systematic framework for managing sensitive company and customer data through an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Certification demonstrates to customers, partners, and regulators that your organization takes data protection seriously - and has the documented controls to prove it.
Domain coverage
ISO 27001:2022 reorganized its controls into four streamlined categories - down from 14 in the 2013 version.
Policies, roles, asset management, access control, supplier relationships, and information security event management across 37 controls.
Screening, terms of employment, awareness training, disciplinary processes, and responsibilities after termination across 8 controls.
Security perimeters, entry controls, equipment protection, secure disposal, and clear desk/screen policies across 14 controls.
Authentication, encryption, vulnerability management, logging, network security, and secure development across 34 controls.
Context of the organization, leadership commitment, planning, support, operational procedures, performance evaluation, and continual improvement.
Systematic identification, analysis, and evaluation of information security risks with documented treatment plans and acceptance criteria.
Common challenges
The problem
Manually mapping 93 controls to policies, procedures, and evidence across disconnected spreadsheets
How Alvor helps
Alvor pre-maps all 93 Annex A controls and links each to policies, evidence, and responsible owners automatically
The problem
Scrambling for weeks before the Stage 2 audit to locate and organize evidence artifacts
How Alvor helps
Evidence is collected continuously from integrated tools - always organized, always current, always auditor-ready
The problem
No visibility into which controls are implemented, partially met, or completely missing
How Alvor helps
Real-time compliance dashboard shows coverage by control, with gap analysis and remediation tracking
The problem
Building an ISMS from scratch without knowing what a good Statement of Applicability looks like
How Alvor helps
Generate your Statement of Applicability from pre-configured control mappings with justifications pre-filled
The problem
Annual surveillance audits feel like starting from scratch every time
How Alvor helps
Continuous monitoring means your ISMS is always audit-ready - surveillance audits become routine check-ins
What you get
All 93 controls from the 2022 standard come pre-mapped with implementation guidance, evidence requirements, and policy templates. Start with a complete control framework - not a blank spreadsheet.
Auto-generate your SoA with control applicability decisions, justifications, and implementation status. Export as a formatted document ready for auditor review.
Connect your cloud infrastructure, identity provider, and development tools. Alvor collects evidence artifacts automatically and maps them to the controls they satisfy.
Structured risk identification, analysis, and treatment aligned to Clause 6.1.2. Quantitative scoring, treatment plans, and residual risk tracking - all feeding into your risk register.
Plan, execute, and track internal audits against your ISMS. Schedule recurring audits, assign findings, track remediation, and maintain the audit trail clauses 9.2 and 10.1 require.
Already compliant with SOC 2 or NIST CSF? Alvor maps overlapping controls so you don't duplicate work. One control implementation can satisfy requirements across multiple frameworks.
Frequently asked
Practical answers to the questions teams ask when scoping, preparing for, and maintaining ISO 27001 certification.
For most organizations, ISO 27001 certification takes between 6 and 12 months from initial gap assessment to passing the Stage 2 audit. With a structured ISMS, pre-mapped Annex A controls, and automated evidence collection, Alvor customers typically compress this to 3 to 6 months. The critical factor is evidence maturity: auditors need to see controls operating over time, which is why earlier investment in continuous monitoring shortens the later stages.
