Is this the ISO 27001 consultant shortcut you’ve been waiting for?

I won’t lie to you – this is going to blow your mind.

Make More Money As An ISO 27001 Consultant

I’ve been in your position, and had to learn the ISO 27001 certification process the hard way. So, I saw a gap in the market to accelerate consultants to ISO-Maestro level, in rapid time.

In the High Table ISO 27001 Toolkit: Consultant Edition, I’ll share all the industry secrets and tips that will help you get your clients certified 10x faster, freeing up your time to onboard more clients, ultimately making more spondoolies. Thank me later.

What is an ISO 27001 Consultant Toolkit?

An ISO 27001 Consultant Toolkit provides resources to help ISO 27001 Consultants get their clients ISO 27001 Certified. It helps ISO 27001 consultants fast track their client ISO 27001 implementations and typically includes:

  • ISO 27001 Policy Templates
  • ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) Templates
  • ISO 27001 Implementation Guides
  • ISO 27001 Training Videos
  • ISO 27001 Walkthroughs

Why an ISO 27001 Consultant Toolkit?

The biggest challenge I have faced in my career as an ISO 27001 consultant and the biggest challenge that my information security agency had for client engagements was having a standard build. There is never enough time to come up with a definitive build, a definitive product that can be re-used and rolled out on each new client engagement.

We have all been there where typically a consultant will take their last client engagement, copy all of the files and then attempt to rebrand them to the new client. Inevitably this brings across the old clients name in documents, old client branding and tweaks that were introduced for that particular client that don’t make sense for everyone.

This approach has its place but there are so many downsides and the costs in time are through the roof. You spend more time on documentation that you do consulting.

The other option that consultants don’t take is to take time out of the business and attempt to build that generic product pack.

If you have tried, you will know how hard and time consuming that can be.

Especially if there are many consultants, all working differently, all with an opinion.

My answer was to take 6 months out after the sale of my last business and craft the perfect, generic, ISO 27001 Consultant Toolkit.

Taking the time allowed me to create a toolkit that

  • Fully meets the requirements of the ISO 27001:2022 Standard
  • Allows for seamless migration from ISO 27001:2013 as needed
  • Includes a modular approach that meets specific consultant tasks
  • Allows consultants to do internal audits and client gap analysis with ease
  • Takes the best practice from hundreds of consultants and hundreds of engagements to create the ‘perfect’ toolkit

What are the benefits of the ISO 27001 Consultant Toolkit?

The end result was a toolkit designed specifically for consultants that gave them the following benefits:

  • Takes the worry of updating documents away
  • Ensures documents are always updated with best practice from hundreds and thousands of consultants world wide
  • Keeps pace with changes to the standard and any updates to the standard without having to do any work
  • Gives a clean client build each time, every time
  • Has a proven track record of getting clients certified
  • Is streamlined, simple and easy to implement
  • Allows consultants to be more profitable by charging the same but vastly reducing the work load involved in delivery

ISO 27001 Consultant Toolkit Pricing Models

When building the consultant toolkit it became apparent there are very few options on the market. The reason is pretty clear. No consultant is going to want to give away their secret sauce to other consultants, and not for what is at best a modest fee. So how can I do it? I can do it because in 2018 I sold my previous cyber security consultancy business and as result became very comfortable in life. I no longer have to consult of hustle. I can share my knowledge with you for free and give you the tools that made me succesful.

What I have seen is a rise in recurring revenue models. These models want consultants to act as the sales person for their product or service and they want a slice of the client pie as well. You are paying them to sell their products or services! How mad is that?

I knew there had to be a better way.

With simplicity in mind the approach I took was to charge a flat, one time, life time fee.

Sure I am probably leaving money on the table. Where others are concerned with volumes and numbers of clients and employees I just sell a consultant toolkit. One fee. One and done.

Do ISO 27001 Consultants use ISO 27001 Toolkits?

Yes. I started this journey two years ago as a test and learn. Try the market. See if there was interest. From day 1 the interest has been through the roof. ISO 27001 Consultants from all backgrounds, with all levels of experience from all over the globe have purchased the ISO 27001 Toolkit: Consultant Edition and successfully and profitably got their clients ISO 27001 certified.

The feedback on the Google reviews alone is testament to how successful this is.

From one man bands to house hold consultancy names, to online SaaS Platforms (yes, they buy them too), to the Big 4.

I can say that the savvy ISO 27001 consultants use the ISO 27001 Toolkit and on the whole, they are out pacing and out performing their competitors.
