ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for information security. For banking, insurance, telecommunications and anyone handling international clients' data, it is often the condition for closing a contract. AGH prepares your company; DQS certifies independently.
Defining the scope of the information security management system, assessing risks to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, and applying appropriate controls from a reference annex. It requires clear policies, access management, supplier control, incident response and continuity, with internal audit and continual improvement.
We carry out the risk analysis, support the selection of controls, produce the policies and documentation, train the team and conduct the internal audit, until the system is ready for certification.
DQS, an accredited and independent certification body, carries out the certification and issues the certificate, contracted and paid to DQS. AGH is DQS's exclusive Channel Partner in Angola.
A typical journey runs from five to nine months, depending on size, the complexity of the systems and the initial state of the controls.
AGH's fees for preparation, and the certification audit contracted to DQS, are set following the free diagnosis.
The current version is ISO/IEC 27001:2022. The transition period from the 2013 version ended in October 2025, so certificates in the old version are no longer valid. Anyone certifying today does so directly to the 2022 version, with the updated set of controls.
Having written policies is one thing; proving that the organisation carries them out in the middle of an incident is another. CyberPlay puts your team inside a simulated cyber incident, in real time and in the browser, without touching real systems, and returns a readiness index from 0 to 100.
