ISO 27001 Compliance Consultant
About the assignment
A leading organisation across sectors needs expertise to establish or strengthen ISO 27001 compliance. You'll assess current security posture, identify gaps against the standard, and create actionable roadmaps. Your work directly reduces risk and builds stakeholder confidence in information security maturity.
You work across technical and business functions, translating compliance requirements into practical controls. The role balances audit rigour with pragmatism—standards matter, but so does feasibility.
Your responsibilities
- Conduct gap assessments against ISO 27001 controls and documentation requirements
- Design security policies, procedures and control frameworks tailored to organisational context
- Support implementation of technical and organisational controls
- Prepare and guide organisations through external certification audits
- Review evidence of control operation and maintain compliance documentation
- Train teams on ISO 27001 principles and their role in compliance
- Monitor compliance status and recommend corrective actions
- Advise on integration with related frameworks (NIS2, DORA, SOC 2)
