In short

ISO 27001 certification in Calgary at a glance

Security reviews in Calgary tend to come from large clients with money at stake: energy operators, financial institutions and the corporate buyers behind them. Calgary Economic Development says fintech firms are drawn by capital-intensive companies, large deals and individual wealth, which means a software supplier's first serious customer often arrives with a full security questionnaire. ISO 27001 answers it with an information security management system: risk assessment, a statement of applicability, Annex A controls, internal audit and management review. Energy-technology suppliers may extend scope to operational environments. Sterling's Toronto office serves Calgary organisations and uses Effivity to run the system afterwards; an accredited certification body issues the certificate.

Requirements

What ISO 27001 requires

Strip away the vocabulary and ISO/IEC 27001 requires a company to prove six things about how it protects the information it holds.

You know what you are protectingThe scope is defined: the information, systems, locations and people that matter, and who inside and outside relies on them.
Management owns itTop management sets the information security policy and objectives, assigns roles and gives the effort the resources it needs.
You decided what could go wrong, and what to do about itSecurity risks are assessed against agreed criteria, and each is treated with a recorded choice of safeguards and the reasons for it.
The safeguards work every dayAccess, suppliers, devices, backups, incidents and staff awareness are managed as routine operations, not one-off projects.
You can show itPolicies, risk decisions and records are kept, so an auditor sees the system working in practice rather than on paper.
You check yourselvesSecurity performance is measured, internal audits and management reviews take place, and what they find is put right.

ISO 27001 in Calgary: questions clients ask

Which Calgary firms start ISO 27001?

Fintech and software companies selling to large clients, and technology suppliers to energy operators, usually after a security questionnaire asks for a certificate. Calgary's head-office clients put information security into their supplier reviews. Scope the certificate to the services you actually sell.

Does ISO 27001 cover operational technology at a Calgary energy supplier?

It can, if the scope includes the operational technology environment and the risk assessment covers it. Many industrial customers also look for sector-specific control frameworks, so ask what the client expects. The management system still provides the governance around either.
