ISO 27001 & ISO 27701
The Challenge
Strider Technologies, a defense and intelligence technology company, faced a critical compliance challenge: certification audits for ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 were already scheduled, leaving no room for delay. Without a thorough internal audit completed beforehand, they risked entering certification unprepared and jeopardizing their ability to obtain these credentials on time.
The Clock Was Already Ticking: Strider had done significant preparation work for ISO certification but needed an independent, expert-led internal audit to surface any remaining non-conformities before the external certification auditors arrived. They needed a partner who could mobilize immediately and execute with precision, without sacrificing the quality of the audit.
The company needed a partner who could begin within days, run dual ISO audits simultaneously, and deliver actionable corrective action plans fast enough for their team to remediate before the certification window.
The Solution
Nexeris deployed a rapid, structured approach to execute both ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 internal audits simultaneously within a 30-day window.
Rapid Mobilization: We kicked off the engagement within 24 hours of contract execution, immediately delivering audit plans and evidence requests so the Strider team could begin gathering documentation without delay.
Concurrent Audit Execution: Rather than auditing one framework at a time, our team ran ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 procedures simultaneously, beginning audit work as soon as evidence arrived from the Strider team to maximize efficiency within the compressed timeline.
Non-Conformity Identification & Corrective Action Planning: Our team identified every non-conformity across both frameworks and delivered a tailored corrective action plan for each finding, giving Strider a clear, prioritized roadmap to resolve gaps before their external certification audit.
The Results
Strider rapidly executed the corrective action plans identified during the internal audit and successfully obtained both ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications in the weeks following, achieving first-time certification on schedule.
