FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does ISO 27001 certification take?
Typically 6-12 months depending on your organization's size and current security maturity. The process includes gap analysis (4-6 weeks), implementation (3-6 months), internal audit (2-4 weeks), and external certification audit (4-8 weeks). Organizations with existing security controls can often certify faster.
What is a GRC platform?
A Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform centralizes security policies, risk assessments, compliance evidence, and audit workflows in one system. Cybool's proprietary GRC platform automates compliance tracking, sends reminders for control reviews, and generates audit-ready reports, saving hundreds of hours compared to manual spreadsheet management.
Do I need ISO 27001 or is NIS2 enough?
NIS2 is a regulatory requirement for essential and important entities in the EU, focusing on resilience and incident reporting. ISO 27001 is a voluntary certification that demonstrates a complete Information Security Management System (ISMS). Many organizations pursue both: NIS2 for legal compliance and ISO 27001 for customer trust and competitive differentiation.
What's the difference between ISO 27001 and SOC 2?
ISO 27001 is an international standard applicable to any organization, focusing on information security risk management. SOC 2 is a US-based framework for service providers (SaaS, cloud, etc.) demonstrating controls for Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy. We can help with both.
