Earning ISO 27001 certification demands structure, documentation, and clarity at every step. AAFCPAs helps clients prepare with confidence. Our team supports organizations at all stages of readiness, from those standing up a new information security program to those aligning existing SOC 2 controls, NIST, or other control sets that meet other standards with ISO requirements. We create efficiencies by leveraging your current controls, help reduce the risk of nonconformities, streamline your timeline, and strengthen audit readiness.
A smarter way to prepare for ISO.
The International Standards organization states Independent Certification Body ISO auditors cannot perform readiness activities for the organization being certified. That’s where we come in. AAFCPAs delivers ISO 27001:2022 readiness support that is structured, efficient, and aligned with certifier expectations. In addition, we have a certified ISO 27001 assessor on our staff whose test work performed during the readiness assessment can be used by ISO Certification Bodies for certification purposes. This creates greater efficiencies for you. We guide you through each phase, from identifying gaps to documenting your controls and supporting the full audit cycle.
Our ISO readiness support includes:
- Statement of applicability
- Controls inventory aligned to ISO categories
- Gap analysis
- Quality manual documentation
- Testing support and pre-inspection insights
- Audit preparation and support through Stage 1 and Stage 2

Our team works in close coordination with select independent certification bodies, which rely on our test work to help ensure a seamless transition with greater efficiency. All testing and documentation are prepared to support a certifier’s audit, saving you time and reducing the chance of delays caused by nonconformities.
Start from any point. Get there with confidence.
Many clients come to AAFCPAs with an existing SOC 2 type 2 examination. When possible, we help you build on that foundation by mapping and reusing applicable controls. This allows for consistent documentation and aligned timelines across both frameworks. In these cases, we coordinate testing to cover the additional requirements of ISO 27001, so your documentation is ready for handoff to the certifying body.
If you’re starting from the ground up, we offer step-by-step support to help you establish a defensible program and prepare for audit with confidence.
