Customers in each group send security questionnaires, and ISO/IEC 27001 is the recognised way to answer them across the board. ISO/IEC 27001 sets up an information security management system around risk assessment, Annex A controls, internal audit and management review. Sterling supports ISO/IEC 27001 work in Manchester from Sterling's London office, visiting site as the work needs; Effivity and Sterling Academy are included with the engagement, and an accredited certification body issues the certificate.
