No. Our templates are informational resources that provide structured frameworks for documentation. However, we are not your lawyers, advisers, or consultants, and we do not provide advice tailored to your specific business, regulatory, or legal obligations.

  • Templates: Ready-to-use, editable frameworks for ISO 27001 and ISMS setup.
  • Professional advice or consultancy: Personalised guidance specific to your business and compliance obligations.

We empower self-service adoption without providing personalised advisory or consultancy services. Note that our templates are not a substitute for professional legal, audit, or consultancy services.

Our Editable ISO 27001 & ISMS Templates

Templates follow ISO/IEC 27001:2022 guidelines and widely accepted ISMS practices. They are general frameworks suitable for a variety of organisations. They are not jurisdiction-specific or industry-specific, so check local legal or regulatory applicability with your legal or compliance team.

No. These templates do not guarantee regulatory compliance or certification. Compliance depends on your organisation’s implementation, operation, and maintenance of your ISMS.

Our templates are designed by an experienced practitioner to follow ISO/IEC 27001:2022 clauses and ISMS framework principles. Our templates are designed to help structure documentation in a way that aligns with audit expectations and common best practices, reducing time spent on drafting and ensuring traceable ISMS artefacts.

Audit acceptance depends on your organisation’s implementation, operation, and maintenance of your ISMS. These templates are designed to be audit-consistent, supporting clause alignment, traceability, and logical ISMS structure, so your documentation is organised in a way auditors commonly expect. Proper tailoring is required to meet your auditor’s specific criteria.

Templates are developed by our founder, an experienced ISO 27001 practitioner with hands-on information security and ISMS implementation experience. Our approach incorporates real-world audit insights, ensuring templates are structured for clarity, traceability, and practical application.

For details on our founder's experience, see our About Us page.

We review and update our templates periodically to reflect ISO/IEC 27001:2022, current ISMS practices, and relevant regulatory developments.

Each purchase includes the version available at the time of sale. Minor corrections may be provided at our discretion. Major revisions are generally released as new products and may require separate purchase.

Yes. Each template package includes detailed Guidance Notes developed by a compliance practitioner.

Basic familiarity with information security concepts is helpful, but you do not need to be an ISO specialist.
