Implement ISO 27001 in 6 Months
Our ISMS implementation workshop programme takes your organisation from the initial assessment to full readiness for ISO 27001 certification within an accelerated timeframe of 6 months.
The programme combines in-person and virtual workshops with the ResGuard Compliance Manager (RCM) platform to automate documentation, policy management and evidence collection.
Why ISO 27001 in Hong Kong?
ISO 27001 adoption in Hong Kong is driven by new legislation and market expectations:
- Critical Infrastructures Ordinance (Cap. 653) — In force since 1 January 2026; designated operators must set up a computer-system security management unit, run regular risk assessments and audits, and report serious incidents. An ISO 27001 ISMS provides a recognised structure for these obligations
- HKMA C-RAF — The Cyber Resilience Assessment Framework expects banks to demonstrate mature security management, which an ISMS supports
- SFC and Insurance Authority — Licensed corporations and insurers must meet cyber security guidelines aligned with international standards
- PDPO DPP4 — The security principle of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance requires appropriate protection of personal data
- Client and supply chain trust — ISO 27001 certification is increasingly required in procurement by banks, multinationals and public bodies
