About this template

This OKR is aimed at facilitating ISO 27001 certification readiness for the legal team. The first objective is conducting an in-depth internal audit to locate any compliance gaps. The initiatives include the formation of an audit plan, assembling an internal audit team, and scrutinizing audit findings to identify these gaps.

The following objective involves training 95% of the team on the requirements and procedures of ISO 27001, which is a standard for information security. It includes monitoring and recording the progress of team members, identifying those who are yet to be trained, and arranging training sessions with a certified coach.

The third objective focuses on implementing required changes to ensure a 100% closure of identified gaps. This includes establishing and employing effective solutions to address the compliance issues that have been identified. It also involves pinpointing gaps in current processes or systems.

Finally, the effectiveness of the solutions is to be monitored and evaluated. This OKR is crucial to ensure that the legal team is fully compliant with ISO 27001, and is thus prepared for certification. Precise planning and effective training are integral to the successful achievement of this OKR.
