Frequently Asked Questions
What organisations ask before starting
What does an ISO 27001 consultant do?
An ISO 27001 consultant helps define the ISMS scope, assess gaps, evaluate information-security risks, select controls, develop policies and evidence, train staff, conduct internal audits and prepare the organisation for independent certification assessment.
Does HCSE issue the ISO 27001 certificate?
No. HCSE provides implementation and certification-readiness support. Certification is awarded independently by an accredited certification body after successful assessment.
How long does ISO 27001 implementation take?
The duration depends on organisational size, scope, current maturity, technology, regulatory obligations and resource availability. HCSE establishes a realistic schedule after initial scoping and gap assessment.
Can HCSE support banks, universities and public institutions?
Yes. Our approach is adapted to the organisation's sector, risk profile, legal obligations, information assets, technology environment and operational priorities.
Where does HCSE provide ISO 27001 consultancy?
HCSE is based in Addis Ababa and supports organisations across Ethiopia. Remote and hybrid delivery are also available for regional and international engagements.
What happens after ISO 27001 certification?
The ISMS must continue operating and improving. HCSE can support corrective actions, control monitoring, internal audits, management reviews, risk updates and preparation for annual surveillance audits and recertification.
