Organizations managing sensitive data including IT firms, BFSI companies, SaaS providers, data centres and public-sector bodies should adopt ISO 27001 to ensure robust data security, compliance and client confidence.

The certification process typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on organization size, IT infrastructure and ISMS maturity. 4C Consulting offers a structured roadmap and free gap assessment to guide the process.
