What Is ISO 27001?

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for establishing, operating, and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).

It defines requirements for:

What Our Customers Have to Say

We brought Q-Sec in when scaling started causing more problems than progress. They cleaned up our setup, added segmentation, and gave us real visibility again. If you’re expanding fast, they’re the team you want.

CEO, Colobridge GmbH

Q-Sec helped us move from patching issues to running a proper security programme. They tightened our data protection, built a compliance path for DORA and GDPR, and trained our team to think like security professionals. It’s been a real step up in maturity.

Before Q-Sec, compliance always felt reactive. Now it’s built into how we operate. Their team understands the regulatory side as well as the technical one, which saves us a lot of time and second-guessing.
