ISO 27001: 2022 - Information Security Management System
CoreQuality CB is an accredited certification body in Nigeria, providing ISO 27001:2022 certification services to organizations across Nigeria – Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other business hubs. Our services are designed to help Nigerian businesses implement robust Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) that align with international best practices and local regulatory requirements such as NDPR (Nigeria Data Protection Regulation), NITDA guidelines, and sector-specific compliance standards.
ISO 27001:2022 is the globally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). In Nigeria’s fast-growing digital economy—where businesses increasingly rely on data, cloud systems, fintech solutions, and online platforms—protecting sensitive information is critical to maintaining trust, ensuring compliance, and preventing costly cyber incidents.
An ISMS provides a structured framework for managing sensitive business information, including customer data, financial records, intellectual property, and operational systems. For organizations operating in Nigeria, implementing ISO 27001:2022 helps ensure compliance with data protection laws such as NDPR, strengthens cybersecurity posture, and enhances credibility with clients, partners, and regulators.
With the rising number of cyber threats, data breaches, and regulatory scrutiny in Nigeria, organizations must take proactive steps to secure their information assets. ISO 27001 certification is increasingly becoming a requirement for companies in sectors such as fintech, banking, telecommunications, healthcare, e-commerce, and IT services.
At CoreQuality CB, we understand the unique cybersecurity and data protection challenges faced by Nigerian organizations. That’s why we provide tailored ISO 27001:2022 certification services to businesses in Lagos, Abuja, and across Nigeria, helping them design and implement ISMS frameworks that are both effective and compliant with local regulations.
Our ISO 27001:2022 certification services include a comprehensive audit of your Information Security Management System to ensure full compliance with ISO requirements and relevant Nigerian data protection laws. Our auditors are highly experienced in information security and familiar with Nigeria’s regulatory landscape, enabling them to provide practical insights and actionable recommendations to help you reduce risks, prevent breaches, and safeguard your critical information assets.
Our ISO 27001:2022 Certification Process
At CoreQuality CB, we follow a structured and rigorous certification process to ensure that organizations meet the ISO 27001:2022 standard. Our certification process includes the following steps:
Initial Assessment: We conduct an initial assessment to determine the organization’s readiness for certification. This involves reviewing the organization’s policies, procedures, and processes to identify any gaps that need to be addressed.
Gap Analysis: We conduct a gap analysis to identify any areas where the organization does not meet the ISO 27001:2022 standard. We provide the organization with a detailed report that outlines the areas that need to be addressed before certification can be granted.
Implementation Support: We provide the organization with support to implement the necessary changes to meet the ISO 27001:2022 standard. This involves providing guidance on developing policies, procedures, and processes that meet the standard’s requirements.
Certification Audit: We conduct a certification audit to determine if the organization meets the ISO 27001:2022 standard. The audit includes a review of the organization’s documentation, processes, and procedures, as well as interviews with key personnel.
Certification Decision: Based on the results of the certification audit, we make a certification decision. If the organization meets the ISO 27001:2022 standard, we issue a certificate that is valid for three years. If the organization does not meet the standard, we provide feedback and support to help them improve their ISMS.
Benefits of ISO 27001:2022 Certification
ISO 27001:2022 certification provides organizations with a range of benefits, including:

This can open up new business opportunities, particularly in industries where information security is a critical concern, such as finance, healthcare, and government.
