Illustrative figures, not market data or a live calculation. Your estimate depends on your organisation, scope and assumptions.

More than a calculator. A clearer decision.

Independent planning and procurement intelligence for ISO 27001.

01

Estimate

Model implementation, certification and related planning costs.

02

Explain

See assumptions, cost drivers and estimate confidence.

03

Compare

Test implementation scenarios and understand the trade-offs.

04

Decide

Create a 3-Year Planning Outlook, share scenarios and prepare a Board Pack.

Calculate and compare without an account. An account is required to save, share scenarios and export a Board Pack.

Numbers you can challenge, not just accept.

See where each assumption comes from. Edit your inputs and planning assumptions; derived results update with them.

USER PROVIDED
Your inputs, such as headcount and day rates.
DEFAULT ASSUMPTION
A starting value you can review and change.
MODELLED
A result calculated from inputs and assumptions.
ISO-DERIVED
Audit-planning logic informed by ISO/IEC 27006-1 principles.

The calculation methodology is versioned. Model confidence describes input quality, not a statistical confidence interval. The selected certification body determines the actual audit duration.

Different approaches. Different trade-offs.

Transparent by design. Traceable by method.

ISMSCalculator combines organisation-specific inputs and visible assumptions in a versioned calculation engine. Its audit-planning model is informed by ISO/IEC 27006-1 principles. Saved results are recalculated and stored authoritatively on the server.

A planning estimate, not a guaranteed price, certification decision or legal advice.
