ISO 27001 is the world's most widely adopted information security management standard. It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information, ensuring it remains secure. Certification requires establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. Encircle tracks your readiness — a certified auditor issues the certificate.
This framework contributes to the following governance domains in your Encircle score:
Encircle maps ISO 27001:2022's mandatory clauses (4–10) and Annex A controls to D08 Technology and D03 Risk domains. Your ISO 27001 readiness score is tracked in real time. Each missing control generates an assigned task with a template where available. The Evidence Register tracks all 113 Annex A control evidence items.
Encircle scores every gap, generates your remediation tasks, and tells you when your evidence is complete. Your accredited ISO 27001 auditor then issues your certificate.
Encircle tells you when you are ISO 27001 Ready — meaning your evidence satisfies all mandatory ISMS clauses and selected Annex A controls. Encircle connects you with an accredited ISO 27001 auditor from the Encircle Network when you're ready to pursue certification.
