“These certifications make all the difference for international
businesses and U.S. companies that grapple with updated or changing
regulations around data privacy and information security, combined
with pressure from stakeholders, clients and vendor requests,” says
Arti Lalwani, Managing Director at Armanino. “We’re proud to be in
a select group of firms capable of delivering these certifications.
Armanino’s excellence in information and cybersecurity
attestations, such as SOC attestations, make us well positioned to
deliver the same level of engagement and service for ISO
certification.”
The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is an internationally
recognized standard for information security management systems
(ISMS). It provides a structured path for organizations to
establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their ISMS,
while providing a high degree of confidence that the organization,
to the extent it achieves certification, is taking stringent
measures to protect sensitive data. Armanino’s dual stage approach
ensures a thorough but timely audit process that includes:
Stage 1 Audit: Armanino Certified LLC reviews a client’s
ISMS and Privacy Information Management Systems (PIMS) for ISO
27001 compliance, providing a detailed report of any concerns.
Stage 2 Audit: Upon Stage 1 completion, Armanino
Certified LLC will test ISMS and PIMS conformance through on-site
procedures, including interviews, process observation, and
artifact/document inspection. When complete, a certification will
be issued if the firm meets the certification requirements.
Armanino Certified LLC also provides surveillance audits in
years two and three to maintain ISO 27001 certification, ensuring
ongoing ISMS and PIMS compliance, scope consistency, ISMS
improvement, and ongoing monitoring. Additionally, after the
surveillance period, a recertification audit can be achieved, upon
review of ISMS and PIMS performance, system changes, and scope
adjustments, ensuring continued certification before the next
recertification period.
As an extension of the ISO/IEC 27001, Armanino Certified LLC can
also provide certificates for ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification for
PIMS. This certification allows organizations to demonstrate
conformity to a standard of requirements for the design and
implementation of PIMS. This certification is critical for
companies seeking to adhere to international rules and regulations
around data privacy, including the EU’s General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR).
Armanino distinguishes itself by offering an additional
Readiness Assessment prior to the certification process. Conducted
by an ISO 27001 certified auditor, this assessment identifies gaps
within the ISMS that could potentially become non-conformities
during the certification audit, potentially leading to a smoother
certification journey.
Armanino and Armanino Certified LLC can also work together to
perform combined ISO certifications and SOC audits. Because many
organizations seek specific ISO certifications alongside SOC
attestation, Armanino has created a system to allow these processes
to occur simultaneously, saving valuable time.
