Accelerate your path to ISO 27001 certification. GenIsec.AI maps all 93 Annex A controls, automates your ISMS evidence collection, generates your Statement of Applicability, and keeps your risk register current - all in one platform.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's leading international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), it specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS - the policies, procedures, and controls that systematically manage information security risks across an organization.
The current version, ISO 27001:2022, restructured the Annex A control set into 93 controls organized across four themes: Organizational controls (37 controls covering policies, risk management, supplier relationships, and information classification), People controls (8 controls covering screening, training, and disciplinary processes), Physical controls (14 controls covering physical access, equipment, and environmental security), and Technological controls (34 controls covering access management, cryptography, vulnerability management, and network security). The 2022 edition introduced 11 new controls, including threat intelligence (5.7), cloud service security (5.23), data masking (8.11), and ICT readiness for business continuity (5.30).
Unlike SOC 2, which produces an auditor's report, ISO 27001 results in a formal certification issued by an accredited certification body. The certificate is valid for three years, with mandatory annual surveillance audits and a full recertification audit at the end of the cycle. ISO 27001 certification is frequently required for selling into European enterprise markets, government contracts, and regulated industries globally. It also provides the control framework that underpins many other compliance requirements, making it an efficient foundation standard for multi-framework compliance programs.
GenIsec.AI covers the full ISO 27001 lifecycle, from initial gap analysis through certification and ongoing surveillance - replacing disconnected spreadsheets and consultant-heavy implementations.
All 93 ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls are pre-loaded. GenIsec.AI maps your existing tools, policies, and processes to specific controls automatically, identifying gaps with AI-driven accuracy across all four control themes.
Run a structured gap analysis against ISO 27001:2022 in hours rather than weeks. The AI engine evaluates your control environment, scores maturity by domain, and produces a prioritized implementation roadmap for your certification project team.
GenIsec.AI generates and maintains your Statement of Applicability dynamically. As controls are implemented or excluded, the SoA updates automatically - giving auditors an always-current, justified, cross-referenced document at audit time.
Maintain a living risk register aligned to ISO 27005 methodology. Document risk owners, treatment decisions, residual risk ratings, and treatment plan progress. Tie each risk to the Annex A controls that mitigate it for a defensible audit trail.
ISO 27001 requires documented policies for virtually every control domain. GenIsec.AI's Policy Checker validates your policy library against ISO 27001 requirements, flags missing policies, and tracks review cycles and approval sign-offs.
Continuous, automated evidence collection from your cloud infrastructure, identity providers, and DevOps toolchain. Evidence is timestamped, version-controlled, and organized by Annex A control - ready for your certification body's audit team.
Six specialized modules that address the most demanding aspects of ISO 27001 implementation and ongoing surveillance.
A structured, ISO 27005-aligned risk register that links threats, vulnerabilities, and treatment plans to Annex A controls. Track risk owners, review dates, and treatment status with full audit history.
Validates your policy library against ISO 27001:2022 requirements. Identifies missing policies, flags policies overdue for review, and tracks sign-off workflows from policy owners and senior management.
Task management purpose-built for ISO 27001 implementation. Assign Annex A control implementation tasks to owners, set due dates, track completion, and generate progress reports for management review meetings.
Centralized, versioned repository for all ISMS evidence. Evidence is organized by Annex A control reference and automatically timestamped. Auditors can access a read-only portal eliminating manual file-sharing.
Automated access reviews satisfy Annex A controls 5.18 (Access rights) and 8.2 (Privileged access rights). Generate reviewer workflows, capture approvals, and produce evidence of periodic reviews for auditors.
Track and approve changes to ISMS scope, policies, and technical controls. Satisfies Annex A control 8.32 (Change management) with a full audit trail of who approved what and when.
A structured four-phase approach that takes you from gap analysis to certified ISMS - and keeps you certified through ongoing surveillance.
Integrate your cloud, identity, DevOps, and HR systems. GenIsec.AI inventories your assets and existing controls and maps them to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A automatically.
Run an AI-powered gap analysis across all 93 Annex A controls. Receive a maturity score by control domain and a prioritized remediation roadmap aligned to your certification timeline.
Work through implementation tasks in GenIsec.AI. Policies are drafted, controls are implemented, risks are documented, and evidence is collected automatically as your ISMS matures.
Deliver a complete ISMS documentation package to your certification body - including risk register, SoA, policy library, and organized evidence - cutting Stage 2 audit time significantly.
ISO 27001 certification typically takes 6 to 18 months from project start to receiving the certificate, depending on your organization's size, existing security maturity, and ISMS scope. The process includes a gap analysis, ISMS implementation, internal audits, a Stage 1 documentation review audit, and a Stage 2 implementation assessment audit. GenIsec.AI can significantly compress the implementation phase by automating control mapping, evidence collection, and risk assessment workflows.
ISO 27001:2022 restructured Annex A from 114 controls across 14 domains into 93 controls organized into 4 themes: Organizational (37 controls), People (8 controls), Physical (14 controls), and Technological (34 controls). It introduced 11 new controls including threat intelligence, cloud service security, data masking, and ICT readiness for business continuity. Organizations certified under ISO 27001:2013 were required to transition to the 2022 standard by October 31, 2025. GenIsec.AI supports the ISO 27001:2022 control set natively.
The Statement of Applicability (SoA) is a mandatory ISO 27001 document that lists all Annex A controls, states whether each is applicable or excluded, provides justification for exclusions, and references where each control is documented. It is one of the most scrutinized documents during a Stage 2 audit. GenIsec.AI generates a dynamic, auditor-ready SoA automatically and keeps it synchronized as your ISMS evolves.
ISO 27001 certificates are valid for three years, but certification bodies conduct annual surveillance audits in years 1 and 2. At the end of the three-year cycle, a full recertification audit is required. This means ISO 27001 demands ongoing ISMS maintenance, internal audits, management reviews, and continuous evidence collection. GenIsec.AI's continuous monitoring keeps you perpetually audit-ready, not just in the months before each surveillance audit.
ISO 27001 does not explicitly mandate penetration testing, but Annex A controls 8.8 (Management of technical vulnerabilities) and 5.37 (Documented operating procedures) create strong expectations for systematic vulnerability assessments. Most certification auditors scrutinize vulnerability management programs closely. GenIsec.AI tracks penetration test findings in the risk register and monitors remediation status against applicable Annex A controls.
