Ranges shown above represent typical service price and project duration for small to medium enterprises (SMEs). When planning however, you should account for costs beyond what we bill, such as: internal staff efforts, auditors, certification bodies where applicable, etc. If you want to get more insight on how different cost factors scale, as well as how to plan properly for success, the following ISO/IEC 27001 budget planning write-up is one of the best out there.

If something looks too good to be true, then it almost certainly is!

When researching implementation cost and timelines, make sure you rely on credible sources. There is a lot of misinformation on the internet, and we have noticed a lot of AI-generated content on the topic in which the numbers simply don’t add up — we have nothing against the use of AI, but we are strongly against misinformation.

The same goes for tools and template packs that promise almost instant compliance. While tools and templates are very useful, signing off a policy without implementing it in practice is one of the “worst offences” in security compliance, and a recipe for failure. Your customers, the industry and public authorities are interested in pragmatic but true security — not security theater .

Need to meet a compliance deadline?

If you’re facing regulatory deadlines or certification requirements with tight timelines, compressed implementation is possible. Feasibility and time gained depend on availability, your commitment, and risk tolerance. We concentrate the work into higher monthly intensity with primary focus on meeting requirements efficiently, de-prioritising capability development.

Total cost typically remains similar to standard timelines. What changes is delivery speed at the expense of reduced knowledge transfer and overall maturity. Note that if you choose this route you should plan for a follow-up after reaching your milestone in order to achieve sustainable capability — often required for continued compliance. We don’t recommend this approach unless you absolutely need it.
