How do you handle ISO 27001 alongside DORA or NIS2?

We scope the ISMS so that DORA and NIS2 obligations are explicit control objectives within ISO 27001, not parallel exercises. The Statement of Applicability records the regulatory mapping, so a single audit pack satisfies multiple regulators.

Do you implement ISO 42001 for organisations not yet on ISO 27001?

We can, but it is rarely the right sequence. ISO 42001 assumes a working ISMS underneath it. For most organisations the right path is ISO 27001 first, then ISO 42001 for the AI-specific control layer. We deliver both, with senior practitioner-led ISO 42001 implementation alongside our ISO 27001 Lead Implementer (PECB) practice.

Sector-specific compliance pressure

Regulated enterprise organisations face overlapping regimes that no longer treat information security as a back-office discipline. NIS2 transposition into UK law via the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, FCA operational resilience rules, DORA for in-scope financial entities, ICO requirements under UK GDPR, and the EU AI Act for AI-deploying organisations all converge on demonstrable ISMS maturity.

ISO 27001 has become the de facto evidence base regulators expect to see, with ISO 42001 emerging as the equivalent for AI governance. The work for regulated enterprise is rarely a single-framework exercise; it is integrated control architecture that satisfies multiple regulators with a single, auditable ISMS.
