Introduction

Compliance is not a checkbox. It is a journey. For Ziwo, that journey meant moving beyond their ISO 27001:2013 certification and preparing for the future. They sought to modernize their security practices, reduce manual work, and align with updated international standards.

With Axipro providing advisory guidance, Drata powering automation, and Insight Assurance serving as the audit partner, Ziwo successfully transitioned its compliance program to meet ISO 27001:2022 requirements.

The outcome was a smooth certification process, completed without non-conformities, and a stronger foundation of trust with customers across the Middle East and beyond.

But to keep pace with growth and evolving expectations, they chose to pursue ISO 27001:2022 compliance with advisory support from Axipro, while leveraging Drata for automation and working with Insight Assurance as their audit partner.

Challenge: Scaling & Upgrading Compliance

Ziwo’s leadership recognized that while ISO 27001:2013 kept them secure, it also came with challenges:

  • Manual compliance tracking created inefficiencies.
  • Evidence collection for audits consumed valuable time.
  • Processes were fragmented across teams.
  • New ISO 27001:2022 requirements required updated alignment.

The goal was clear: transition smoothly to ISO 27001:2022, reduce administrative overhead, and empower their internal team to manage compliance more effectively. This meant choosing the right advisory, automation, and audit partners to guide the process.

Solution: Axipro’s Guided Transition

Through this coordinated effort, Ziwo:

  • Successfully upgraded from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022 certification.
  • Completed the certification with zero major or minor non-conformities, as confirmed by Insight Assurance.
  • Integrated Drata for continuous, automated compliance monitoring.
  • Strengthened their internal team’s ability to manage compliance independently going forward.

This achievement highlights Ziwo’s commitment to security and governance while also showcasing the value of advisory, automation, and audit working together.

Why Ziwo Chose Axipro

For Ziwo, selecting Axipro as an advisory partner was driven by the need for clarity and structure during the transition. They valued Axipro’s ability to:

  • Provide guidance on aligning with ISO 27001:2022 requirements.
  • Support the adoption of automation tools like Drata.
  • Collaborate with internal teams rather than replace them.
  • Partner effectively alongside Insight Assurance as the independent auditor.

Axipro’s role was not to certify or audit, but to act as a trusted advisor, helping Ziwo navigate the complexity of compliance and build confidence in their processes.

Conclusion

Compliance is not a one-time milestone. It evolves as standards change and organizations grow. Ziwo’s successful transition from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022 certification demonstrates the value of combining advisory guidance, automation, and independent auditing.

With Axipro as their advisory partner, Drata providing automation, and Insight Assurance serving as the audit partner, Ziwo strengthened its compliance program while ensuring alignment with international best practices. The result was a smooth certification process, completed with zero non-conformities, and an internal team better prepared to manage compliance moving forward.
