Is this everything I need?

It’s my entire toolkit that I use with clients that I’m coaching to 27001. You’ll still have to adjust and adapt to your circumstances, and you cannot blindly implement the toolkit.

Document templates are only a part of 27001. You need to understand the standard, its requirements, and your responses to the controls to pass an audit.

It won’t solve everything for you, but it is an invaluable tool.

All files are Word (.docx) or Excel (.xlsx), written by a practising ISO 27001 consultant. Edit them directly in your organisation’s name, and you’re ready to go.

Testimonials for the Full Toolkit

Very useful
I’ve done a lot of ISO27001 in the past, putting three organisation through the certification and also running certified facilities. I haven’t done anything for the last five years however and suddenly found myself needing to play catch up. This pack has short-circuited that process nicely.

The pack is very comprehensive and easy to use
The pack is very comprehensive and easy to use. It has saved our small business a great deal of time in preparing our documentation to meet the required standards of our partners.

Helpful to prepare
Helpful to prepare for certification

GreatI
Great resource

Really useful set of templates
This set of templates enabled me to produce an initial ISMS rapidly and prompted me to work through the documents required with useful advice. I would highly recommend this to anyone else looking at going through ISO27001. I haven’t completed the audit itself yet….but time will tell on the level of change required to do that

Helpful content – thanks
There are a lot of us I reckon learning and trying to wrap our heads around almost all the issues and documents you have provided. This will become an invaluable resource and asset for a lot of us I am certain.

Who it’s for

FAQs

Are the templates enough to get us certified?

The free templates cover the documents auditors expect to see, including, but not limited to, mandatory documents, policies, procedures, and key SOPs. This is the whole toolkit I use with my ISO 27001 clients, but you need to tailor it to your business, which is the trickier part.

Think of it as the key documents that must be present in every ISMS, as outlined by the standard. However, there are also 93 controls laid out in Annex A of ISO 27001 that require you to evaluate their fit with your business and, if applicable, implement them. Most organisations are required to apply most of the controls.

If you want a bit more guidance as a small business looking at ISO 27001, I have a Do-It-Yourself Course available for self-paced online training. A demo is available for free.

What format are the files?

Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx). Edit them directly — no specialist software needed.

Can I share it internally?

Yes. However, commercial redistribution isn’t permitted.

So, if you are a consultant looking to use my toolkit, please contact me at info@iseoblue.com.

What happens after I submit?

Once you’ve confirmed your email address, you’ll receive a download link immediately. I’ll follow up with a few short emails to help you get started.

Is this a full toolkit?

Yes. I’ve held nothing back, and it has undergone countless audits by UKAS and other accredited auditors.

There will of course be some processes and procedures that are unique to your business, but 90% of what you’ll need is here. For example, your Starters / Leavers / Movers procedure is always useful to have to demonstrate to an auditor where assets are captured, rights requested, and then assigned. These things are outlined in policies which I give you, but the actual process will be unique to your organisation.

Need more?

My online ISO 27001 course explains how to use the toolkit in the realworld, and tailor it to your business.
