ISO 27001 (Information Security)

ISO 27001 Consultant & Trainer in Geneva

ISO 27001 is the international reference standard for information security, required by many Swiss and international clients. I train your teams to understand, implement and audit an ISMS — with specific attention to the AI and nFADP dimensions.

Why ISO 27001 is foundational for Swiss organisations

ISO 27001 certification is increasingly a prerequisite for doing business: Swiss banks require it of their service providers, international clients expect it, and regulators view it as evidence of security maturity. For AI-intensive organisations, it is also the foundation for ISO 42001.

I train your teams on the full ISO 27001 lifecycle: understanding the standard's structure, scoping your ISMS, conducting risk assessments, implementing controls, preparing for certification audits and maintaining the system over time.

Every programme integrates the Swiss context: alignment with nFADP data protection requirements, FINMA expectations for financial institutions and the growing intersection between information security and AI governance.

ISO 27001 is not just a certificate on the wall — it is a living system that protects your organisation daily.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

How long does ISO 27001 certification take?
Typically 6-12 months for a mid-sized organisation, depending on existing maturity. We help you plan the timeline.
What does it cost?
Costs vary by scope and size. We help you estimate the full investment — implementation, audit and maintenance.
How does ISO 27001 relate to the nFADP?
ISO 27001 provides the security foundation that nFADP compliance requires. Many controls overlap directly.
Do we need a dedicated CISO?
For certification, you need a clear security role. It does not have to be a full-time CISO — we help you design the right structure.
