If you are an Information Security Officer or Compliance Lead at a healthcare provider or financial institution in Europe, this playbook was built for you.
Operating in highly regulated environments means your Information Security Management System (ISMS) must not only meet evolving technical standards but also align with strict data protection laws and sector-specific supervisory expectations. The transition from ISO/IEC 27001:2013 to the 2022 revision introduces 11 new controls, restructured domains, and heightened requirements for risk assessment rigor, particularly around cloud security, threat intelligence, and secure development practices. With enforcement scrutiny increasing and the October 2025 migration deadline approaching, gaps in implementation could delay certification, trigger regulatory inquiries, or expose your organization to avoidable cyber risk.
Engaging external consultants from major audit firms to guide this transition typically costs between EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000, depending on organizational complexity and scope. Alternatively, dedicating internal resources would require 2 to 3 full-time equivalents over 4 to 6 months to research, map, document, and validate changes across policies, procedures, and technical controls. This playbook delivers the same structured approach at a fraction of the cost: $395 one-time payment, no recurring fees.
