What is ISO 27001 certification?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) — a governed set of policies, controls, and continuous improvement. Macksofy runs the full journey: gap assessment, risk treatment, control implementation, and internal audit to get you certification-ready, across India and the UAE.
ISO 27001 is leverage, not paperwork.
ISO 27001 has become table-stakes for B2B SaaS, fintechs and BPOs targeting enterprise customers in India + UAE + global markets. The 2022 update tightened many controls. Macksofy has implemented ISO 27001 for 30+ Indian and UAE organizations, with a near-100% Stage 2 pass rate.

- Government contractors

The shape of a ISO 27001 engagement.
Every number below is grounded in how Macksofy actually runs the engagement — not aspirational marketing copy.
What we actually examine.

- Leadership & risk3 pts
- Annex A controls — organisational3 pts

Clause 4-6 alignment — getting the scope statement right is half the audit.
- Interested-parties + obligations register
- Scope statement + boundary diagrams
- ISMS objectives keyed to business strategy
Clauses 5-6 + Annex A — the parts certification bodies scrutinise hardest.

- Statement of Applicability (SoA) walk-through
Annex A.5 organisational controls (2022 revision) evidenced end to end.
- Policies, roles, segregation of duties

- Threat-intel + supplier-relationship controls
Annex A.8 — where most non-conformities are raised.

- Configuration, capacity, monitoring
- Secure-development + change-management
Clauses 7-10 — the day-to-day evidence that the ISMS is actually alive.

A source code review is the only assessment that sees the flaw before it is reachable. It is also the easiest to fake: run a scanner, export the findings, add a cover page. This guide sets out what a manual review actually covers, where SAST and SCA tools fit and where they stop, how a review differs from a penetration test, and how an Indian buyer should scope, evidence and sign off one.
