What is ISO27001, and does it apply to my business?
ISO27001 is a globally recognised and industry leading information security framework. It provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
ISO 27001 is important because it helps organisations:
- Protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets
- Reduce the risk of data breaches and cyber threats
- Provide assurance to customers, partners, and stakeholders
- Align security practices with global best practices
By achieving ISO 27001 certification, organisations signal a serious commitment to safeguarding data and managing information security risks responsibly.
What is an ISMS (Information Security Management System)?
An ISMS is a set of policies, procedures, and controls designed to manage information security risks. It’s the core component of ISO 27001.
Is ISO27001 a legal requirement?
No, ISO 27001 is not legally required, however compliance gives confidence of a high level of information security.
What are the main benefits of ISO27001 certification?
- Improved Risk Management: Systematic identification, evaluation, and mitigation of information security risks
- Trust and Reputation: Builds confidence among stakeholders, clients, and partners
- Operational Efficiency: Encourages process standardisation and internal accountability
- Incident Preparedness: Enhances response plans for security incidents and data breaches
- Competitive Advantage: Certification can differentiate you in a crowded marketplace
What does the certification process involve?
The process includes a gap analysis, implementation of controls, internal audits, and an external certification audit conducted by an accredited certification body.
- Gap Analysis: Identify current practices vs. standard requirements
- Planning & Scope Definition: Define the boundaries of the ISMS
- Risk Assessment & Treatment: Identify threats and apply controls

What our customers say
Don’t just take our word for it - discover how we've helped real companies deploy real products into healthcare
Kelly Klifa
CEO at Heim
Assuric has been transformative for Heim as we looked to achieve DCB0129 and DTAC compliance. The platform is easy to use, and the AI tools and automated reminders make previously dreaded compliance tasks a breeze. Paul and Matt supported us every step of the way.
Katie Baker
Director UK & Ireland at Tandem
Assuric has been fantastic in helping us quickly and safely navigate regulatory compliance in the UK. From completing Cybersecurity requirements to DSPT, DCB0129, and DTAC, the team was supportive, extremely knowledgeable, and the platform made everything quick and straightforward. A separate regulatory company we consulted at the beginning even remarked on how quickly we achieved compliance!
Maks Kozarzewski
COO at VitVio
We couldn't speak highly enough of both the Assuric team and the platform itself, which is incredibly easy to use, and with the skill and hardworking nature of the Assuric team. They've been a key component in accelerating our progress and deployments!
Maja Mazur
CEO at Healthnix
Assuric has been such a blessing in getting our DTAC and GDPR compliance done - completing all the documentation and deciding what needs to be done whilst running the business is very hard, but the team really helped us through that. The platform is easy to use, helps keep track of things and it even allows us to coordinate all the team training easily. Highly recommend them!
Dean Mawson
Clinical Director at DPM
Assuric streamlines the process of achieving and maintaining compliance with DCB0129 standards for digital health technologies. The user-friendly interface simplifies collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, while the built-in templates and workflows save significant time and effort during compliance projects. Assuric’s ability to centralise documentation and provide real-time visibility into project progress is particularly beneficial for Clinical Safety Officers and digital project teams, enhancing both efficiency and assurance.
