Certification Audit
An accredited certification body assesses your ISMS against the ISO 27001 standard and issues certification, valid for three years.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the standard global enterprises look for before they trust you with their data. Cstream makes getting certified fast, guided, and stress-free.
What is it
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS), published by ISO/IEC. It sets out the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving how an organization manages information security risk, covering everything from access control and asset management to incident response and vendor risk. Unlike SOC 2, which produces an audit report, ISO 27001 results in a certification issued by an accredited certification body.
An accredited certification body assesses your ISMS against the ISO 27001 standard and issues certification, valid for three years.
Annual audits conducted throughout the three-year certification period to confirm the ISMS remains compliant and effective.
Companies selling internationally, working with enterprise or government customers, or operating in regulated industries often need ISO 27001, since global vendor risk teams, procurement processes, and RFPs routinely require it before a deal can close.
How we help
Cstream takes the manual work out of building and maintaining your ISMS, so your team can focus on running the business, not managing a compliance binder.
Cstream connects to your cloud, HR, and IT tools and automatically pulls evidence for your ISMS, eliminating manual screenshots and spreadsheet tracking.
Track control status continuously, so you catch drift before your surveillance audit, not during it.
Use built-in risk register and treatment workflows aligned to Annex A controls, making risk management an ongoing process rather than a one-time exercise.
See exactly what is missing against the ISO 27001:2022 clauses and Annex A controls before your certification audit starts.
Use pre-built ISMS policy templates that can be customized and rolled out quickly across your organization.
Generate a clean, organized evidence package that your certification body can review with less back-and-forth.

Frequently asked questions
Most companies using Cstream become certification-ready in 12 weeks, depending on their current security posture and team size.
ISO 27001 is an international certification covering your full information security management system, valid for three years. SOC 2 is a US-centric audit report on specific trust criteria, renewed annually. Many companies need both, especially if selling to US enterprises and internationally. Cstream maps shared controls across both, so you're not duplicating work.
Most teams don't. Cstream's guided workflows walk you through scope definition, risk assessment, and control implementation, though you can still bring in consultants for specialized guidance if needed.
Costs vary based on company size, certification body, and the scope of the ISMS. Costs typically include the compliance platform and the certification body's audit fee. Book a demo for pricing.
No. Cstream is built to work for early-stage teams building their first ISMS as well as larger organizations managing certification across multiple business units.
Yes. Cstream maps overlapping controls so you can reuse the same evidence across both frameworks, cutting duplicate work and saving time.
