ISO 27001
Maturity Assessment

Overview

The ISO 27001 Maturity Assessment provides a structured framework for evaluating your organisation's Information Security Management System (ISMS) against the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard. With 130 questions, this assessment is structured around both the management system requirements (Clauses 4–10) and the Annex A controls.

Through structured evaluation criteria, you will assess your organisation's security governance, risk management processes, operational controls, and continuous improvement practices against internationally recognised best practice.

The assessment employs a maturity-based scoring model to help you understand your current ISMS posture, identify control gaps, and develop a prioritised remediation roadmap for audit readiness or ongoing compliance.

• Organisations preparing for an ISO 27001 certification audit
• Certified organisations maintaining or improving their ISMS
