ISO 27001 Certification for Texas Businesses - Austin, Dallas, Houston

If you're doing business in Austin, Dallas, or Houston—and handling sensitive customer or business data—there’s a good chance ISO 27001 certification has come up in conversations with prospects, partners, or investors.

It's no surprise. Across Texas’s tech, SaaS, healthcare, and professional services sectors, ISO 27001 is quickly becoming the gold standard for information security. But here’s the thing: it’s not something you want to outsource to just anyone.

That’s where NDB steps in. We’re one of America’s very few officially ANAB-accredited ISO 27001 Certification Bodies (CBs). That means we’re not just consultants—we’re the real deal. We perform the actual certification audit, sign the official certificate, and issue the accreditation-backed credentials your customers expect.

And we do it with transparent pricing, a collaborative mindset, and deep experience working with companies across Texas.

What Is ISO 27001, and Why Does It Matter?

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It's designed to help businesses of all sizes identify, manage, and reduce information security risks—across people, processes, and technology.

It’s not just about compliance. It’s about building trust. An ISO 27001 certificate tells your customers, partners, and regulators:

• You follow globally recognized security practices.
• You’ve implemented risk-based controls across your organization.
• You’re committed to keeping sensitive data secure.

For fast-moving companies in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, it’s a serious advantage—especially when selling into enterprise, government, or regulated markets like healthcare, finance, or defense tech.

Why Work With NDB for ISO 27001 Certification?

Let’s cut to the chase. There are a lot of ISO consultants out there—but very few can actually certify you.

NDB is one of the few CPA firms in the United States that is an official ANAB-accredited Certification Body (CB). That means:

• We’re approved to perform ISO 27001 certification audits under ANAB accreditation.
• Your certificate carries full international recognition—no "unofficial" status, no second audits required.
• We bring 20+ years of experience in security, compliance, and risk—from SOC 2 and HIPAA to ISO and FedRAMP.

And yes, we offer fixed, transparent pricing and a structured process to take you from start to certification—no chaos, no jargon, no surprises.

Our ISO 27001 Certification Process (Simplified)

We break ISO 27001 certification into three phases—and we support you at every step.

Phase 1: Gap Assessment & Readiness

First, we help you figure out where you stand. Whether you’re just exploring ISO 27001 or already halfway there, our team will:

• Review your current controls and documentation
• Identify gaps in your ISMS (Information Security Management System)
• Provide a step-by-step roadmap to get audit-ready

This is totally optional—but most of our clients in Austin, Dallas, and Houston find it incredibly helpful. We can also work inside tools like Drata, Vanta, Secureframe, or Conformio, if you're using one.

Phase 2: Remediation Support (Optional)

Need help closing gaps before your audit? We've got you covered.

While we keep a strict separation between certification and consulting (as required by ISO rules), we offer remediation guidance through our separate advisory arm—fully in line with ANAB guidelines. We can:

• Help you design or update your risk assessment, Statement of Applicability (SoA), and ISMS documentation
• Guide your team through control implementation
• Make sure your documentation matches what's needed for certification

You stay in control—we provide expert guidance.

Phase 3: The Certification Audit

Here’s where it gets real. As an ANAB-accredited CB, NDB conducts your official ISO 27001 certification audit. That includes:

• Stage 1 Audit: We review your ISMS documentation and readiness.
• Stage 2 Audit: We assess how effectively your ISMS is implemented and operating.
• Certification Decision: Our certification board reviews the audit findings and issues your official ISO 27001 certificate.

No third parties. No delays. No hand-offs. You work directly with us—the same team from start to finish.

Serving Austin, Dallas & Houston - Texas’s Innovation Hubs

We’ve worked with organizations across all three of Texas’s biggest business centers. Each city has its own character, but they all have one thing in common: tech-forward, fast-growing companies that need strong security programs.

Austin

Home to some of the most exciting startups and unicorns in the country. We’ve helped early-stage companies prove their security maturity ahead of Series A and B rounds.

Dallas

A hotbed for enterprise SaaS, fintech, and healthcare tech. ISO 27001 is often the requirement for winning enterprise contracts—and we help make it happen.

Houston

With massive growth in energy tech, managed services, and life sciences, Houston companies are increasingly asked for ISO 27001 as part of supply chain security reviews.

Wherever you are in Texas, NDB understands the regional market and the global security landscape.

• Coordinate everything with minimal back-and-forth

And if you’re not using a platform, no worries—we’ll guide you through a smooth manual process.
