    Why is this policy sold separately? Why is there a pack? Are you just trying to make money?

    You can get all of the required ISO 27001 Policies in the ISO 27001 Policy Template Bundle.
    The policy is sold stand alone as it serves a specific purpose and often people just want this one policy. When you deploy information security policies into your organisation you may not need all of the policies so we make them available individually. The benefits of having individual policies are:
    They can be shared only with the people that need the information
    They can be allocated an owner to update them
    You can deploy only the policies you need. In addition the 2022 update to the ISO 27001 standard explicitly calls out having a headline policy and subordinate policies.

    How secure are the payments?

    Payments are handled entirely through Stripe. They are very secure. We do not handle the payment transaction. We do not store, process or transmit your card holder data.
