ISO 27001 certification: 8 things we learned

Aikido's blog post outlines eight practical lessons learned while achieving ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, covering topics such as scoping the effort, communicating progress, choosing the ISO version, limiting outsourcing, selecting meaningful pentests, leveraging existing compliance, accepting and managing non-conformities, and adopting tooling (HRIS, vulnerability management, integrations with Vanta/Drata). The post is a how-to guide for SaaS companies to streamline certification and preparedness rather than a report of any security incident.
