What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an international standard defining requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Certification confirms that an organization systematically protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. nFlo handles the entire implementation process — from gap analysis, through ISMS documentation and the 93 Annex A controls, to the internal audit and management review that a certification body expects to see.

Without certificate you lose tenders
ISO 27001 is the governance, risk and compliance standard that most other requirements lean on: NIS2, DORA and enterprise procurement all ask, in different words, for the same management system — documented scope, assessed risk, and controls somebody owns.
An IT company lost a 5M PLN contract because they didn’t have ISO 27001. The financial sector client required the certificate as a sine qua non condition. A competitor with the certificate won, despite a higher price.
Why ISO 27001 is necessary:
- 67% of large companies require ISO 27001 from suppliers
- NIS2 effectively requires an information security management system
- Financial sector (regulatory) - required or strongly recommended
- Public sector - points in tenders
- Cyber insurance - lower premiums with certificate

Is ISO 27001 enough for NIS2? What mapping does not cover
Mapping NIS2 requirements onto ISO 27001 shortens the road to compliance, but it has a boundary — and ENISA draws that boundary itself. This article shows which statutory obligations lie beyond any control crosswalk, using the Polish implementation as a worked example.
