Kenya & Worldwide

ISO 27001 certification and consultancy in Kenya.

Practical ISO/IEC 27001:2022 implementation, gap assessment and certification support from senior practitioners. Onsite in Nairobi or remote.

AACL Global helps organisations in Kenya and internationally design, implement and certify Information Security Management Systems that actually work. We combine ISO/IEC 27001:2022 expertise with practical understanding of the Kenya Data Protection Act, banking and telecoms regulation, and the operational realities of East African businesses.

Whether you are pursuing first-time certification, transitioning to the 2022 edition, or integrating ISO 27001 with PCI DSS or GSMA SAS, our lead auditors and security practitioners deliver programmes that survive the audit and remain usable after it.

Our ISO 27001 process

Gap assessment

We benchmark your current controls, policies and evidence against ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and the Kenya Data Protection Act. You receive a clear gap report and realistic implementation plan.

ISMS design & documentation

Policy framework, Statement of Applicability, risk assessment methodology, procedures and records designed for your size and risk profile — not generic templates.

Implementation & awareness

Controls are put into operation. Role-based training for leadership, process owners and staff so the system is used, not just audited.

Internal audit & management review

Full internal audit cycle, non-conformity management and facilitated management review so you are ready for the certification body.

Certification support

Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit support with any major accredited registrar. We stay with you through non-conformity closure and certificate issue.

Sustainment

Surveillance-cycle support, continuous improvement and optional eCompliance retainer so certification remains practical year after year.

Frequently asked questions

How long does ISO 27001 certification take in Kenya?

Typical first-time programmes run four to nine months depending on scope, number of sites, existing maturity and how quickly your team can close gaps. We publish a detailed workplan at kick-off.

What drives the cost of ISO 27001 in Kenya?

Cost is driven by organisation size, number of locations, complexity of systems, and whether you need a full implementation or mainly readiness and audit support. We start with a free conversation about budget and scope — not a fixed brochure price.

Do you work with the Kenya Data Protection Act?

Yes. We map ISO 27001 controls to ODPC expectations and help organisations demonstrate both international and local compliance in one coherent programme.

Onsite or remote?

Both. We deliver from Nairobi (Vision Towers, Westlands) and support clients across Kenya and internationally onsite or fully remote.

Which certification bodies do you support?

We are certification-body agnostic and work with all major internationally accredited registrars operating in Kenya and worldwide.
