ADL took the time to understand our culture and current information security position, then set about finding how we could meet the ISO 27001 requirements in a most pragmatic, time-efficient and cost-effective manner.

The information in your business is an asset. Like other important business assets, information has a value and consequently needs to be suitably protected. Further, failure to provide "adequate technical and organisational controls" can result in direct fines from the ICO under the GDPR.
ISO27001 will help coordinate your technical, digital and physical security efforts to provide a coherent, cost effective and consistent approach to security. This is why so many businesses (and we can include potential customers) recognise ISO 27001 as proof that you can be trusted to take the security of their personal / business information seriously.

Reassuring
If you're following the rules, you know you're doing it right
We have consultants based in London (covering the South) and Leicestershire (covering the Midlands/North). Our approach to ISO 27001 has been proven time and again to, well, work!
ISO 27001 gets a lot of bad press, with most complains relating to the "management overhead" it introduces. This is only a valid complaint if the system has been built poorly.
We pride ourselves on building a light touch ISMS that is crafted to fit, support, and empower your business, requiring only minimal and meaningful maintenance input.
You'd think that's obvious, but time and again we see companies attempting a "one size fits all" approach to ISO 27001.
Template document packs whilst cheap, are just a very bad idea! We've encountered numerous business who are literally drowning in documentation that doesn't match what they do or how they work.
We recognise that your business is you shaped. A such, an ISMS that is going to help you grow needs to be you shaped too. Off-the-shelf solutions to an ISMS are a bad idea because they generate loads of otherwise unnecessary maintenance work.
ISO 27001 can be a dry subject, so we make every effort to make the process enjoyable rather than arduous! As well as building you a light touch ISMS, we like to lighten our consultancy with a cheerful smile and happy disposition!
Our auditing experience coupled with the consulting that we do exposes us to all shapes and sizes of business across a wide range of industries. This allows us to pick up all kinds of ideas that we bring into our approach.
We pride ourselves in adding value by applying that wide-angle exposure to our ISMS implementation approach. We come with a kit-bag full of possible technical, practical and proven solutions to the problems we'll encounter along the journey that can save you months!
