## Regional Accreditation and Auditor Assignment

AuditNex can match your company with an ISO 27001 certification provider whose accreditation is appropriate for your country or region and seek the best available scoped price.

ISO 27001 certificates are issued by accredited certification bodies. Accreditation applies to the certification body; the body assigns qualified auditors to conduct Stage 1 and Stage 2. Before an engagement is finalized, the selected provider must confirm its accreditation coverage, the assigned audit team, your scope, required audit days, regional availability, travel requirements, and final price.

No specific certification body, auditor, accreditation body, region, availability, or final fee is guaranteed until those details are confirmed in a scoped quote.

## What the Stage 1 + Stage 2 Price Usually Includes

- Stage 1 documentation and ISMS readiness review by the selected accredited certification body
- Stage 2 assessment of the in-scope ISMS in operation
- Audit planning and reporting
- The ISO 27001 certificate when certification requirements are met
- AuditNex marketplace platform fees

## Priced Separately

- Gap analysis and readiness assessment
- ISMS implementation or consulting support
- Required annual internal audits
- Compliance automation or GRC tooling
- Travel or site-specific costs when required by the provider
- Annual surveillance audits
- Three-year recertification

## Pricing Qualifications

The final price depends on in-scope headcount, locations, ISMS boundaries, complexity, readiness, audit-day requirements, provider availability, and travel. The certification body's scoped quote controls. This price list is not a fixed-price checkout offer and does not represent the full three-year certification lifecycle cost.
