ISO 27001 SOLUTION
Stop losing deals to the security questionnaire.
ISO 27001 is increasingly the price of entry to sell to enterprise and regulated buyers. Until you have it, the security review stalls your deals, and time to certification is pipeline you cannot close. Acuna gets you certified faster and turns the questionnaire from a fire drill into a reusable asset.
ISO 27001 AS A BUSINESS MOVE
For most companies, ISO 27001 is increasingly required to win enterprise deals, especially internationally: without it, security reviews stall. Acuna shortens the path to certification and makes the evidence reusable, so every questionnaire and every adjacent framework like SOC 2 or NIS2 draws on work you have already done. One control library, owners and evidence, audit-ready continuously.
Compliance is not just a cost center anymore. It is a deal gate.
Enterprise buyers will not sign without evidence that your security holds up, and internationally ISO 27001 is the certification they ask for most often (in the US it is often SOC 2, which Acuna runs too). Without it, you answer security questionnaires by hand, your sales cycle stretches, and some deals you simply cannot enter. With it, the certificate clears the gate, and when the evidence behind it is reusable, every later review gets faster instead of starting over. The real question is not whether ISO 27001 is worth the effort. It is how much revenue is waiting on the other side of it.
The ISO 27001 path, run in one place.
Acuna walks the actual ISO 27001 journey, not a generic checklist. You scope your ISMS, run the risk assessment, and your Statement of Applicability builds from what you have scoped. The Annex A controls get named owners and linked evidence, so nothing is reconstructed the week before the audit. You walk into Stage 1 and Stage 2 with the pack assembled, and after the certificate, the year-one and year-two surveillance audits draw on a program that stayed live rather than one rebuilt each cycle. Because the controls are mapped once, the same work carries into SOC 2 and the security baseline of NIS2 and DORA.
What it unlocks, and what it costs to wait.
| What ISO 27001 unlocks | What waiting costs |
|---|---|
| Enterprise deals that require it. | Deals stalled or lost in vendor due diligence. |
| Faster security reviews once your evidence is reusable. | Sales and security staff burning time on manual questionnaires. |
| A security baseline that gives you a head start on SOC 2 and on the security expectations inside NIS2 and DORA, so the next framework is less work, not a fresh start. | Exclusion from RFPs that mandate certification. |
| A bigger, more expensive scramble when a major prospect makes it a condition. |
We will not quote you an invented ROI figure. The real math is already on your side: the deals currently gated by a certificate you do not have, and the hours your team spends answering the same questionnaire by hand.

These are your estimates, not ours. GRC ROI is notoriously hard to measure: most of the value is in deals not lost, incidents not escalated, and audits not rebuilt from scratch. Use this to structure the internal conversation, not as a number we stand behind.
Built by people who have passed the audit.
Acuna is built and run by practitioners, including an ISO 42001 Lead Auditor, with more than a hundred years of combined GRC experience. ISO 27001 lives next to SOC 2, NIS2, DORA, and GDPR, so the work compounds instead of repeating. It is priced by program scope, not per seat, so every owner and auditor is included. Your data stays in Switzerland and the EU. The Abilene Group holds ISO 27001:2022 certification.
