ISO certification helps telecoms companies strengthen resilience, secure data, and assure clients and regulators that systems are well governed, transparent, and continuously improving.
Whether operating fixed-line networks, mobile infrastructure, broadband services, or B2B communications platforms, telecoms providers must demonstrate robust systems for managing risk, safeguarding data, and maintaining operational continuity. ISO certification provides a globally recognised framework to do just that, while supporting efficiency, innovation, and trust.
AvISO has supported telecommunications companies across infrastructure, cloud comms, and network support to implement ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and ISO 9001 as part of scalable, integrated management systems.
Telecoms operators manage critical infrastructure, vast amounts of sensitive data, and complex digital systems all while facing constant cybersecurity threats, regulatory scrutiny, and expectations for uninterrupted service. Compliance must span multiple touchpoints, including infrastructure, cloud environments, and third-party services. National regulations such as the NIS Regulations, Ofcom security requirements, the UK Telecoms Security Act, and GDPR add further complexity, often requiring third-party assurance through frameworks like ISO 27001 or SOC 2. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in call analytics, fraud detection, and network optimisation, governance tools like ISO 42001 are becoming essential to ensure responsible deployment.
With high-value assets and nationwide service responsibilities, telecoms providers must take a proactive approach to compliance. Common challenges include managing vendor risk, maintaining data sovereignty, securing 24/7 availability, and aligning with a growing number of regulatory frameworks. Outages, breaches, or compliance failures can have far-reaching consequences from reputational damage to national-level disruption. ISO standards offer a structured, internationally recognised way to meet these obligations, helping telecoms companies reduce risk, demonstrate accountability, and improve overall service reliability.
We understand the regulatory complexity, multi-site operations, and 24/7 uptime demands telecoms providers face. AvISO helps teams implement ISO-aligned systems that protect services, streamline audits, and build client confidence.
From access control and disaster recovery to supply chain security and SLA management, we tailor ISO frameworks to match your network structure and compliance goals.
We map ISO standards to your existing processes — including network management, incident response, SLAs, and service restoration. Whether certifying a single site or multiple locations, we ensure the system is scalable, secure, and regulator-ready.
ISOvA Toolbox helps teams manage audits, risks, document control, and training across departments or geographies with dashboards that provide oversight and real-time status.
ISOvA Toolbox enables real-time risk and compliance management across teams, sites, and countries giving compliance officers and IT leaders a unified view.
We offer internal audit training, NIS-aligned assessments, ISO workshops for network and security teams, and implementation support to meet contractual or regulatory deadlines.
A fibre broadband provider sought ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 to align with local authority contracts and meet Ofcom security expectations. AvISO designed a lean, integrated framework, and ISOvA Toolbox gave their teams real-time visibility over data risks, audit readiness, and policy control.
ISO 27001 – Information Security Management
The cornerstone of telco compliance. Secures networks, systems, and customer data. Required for many national security and enterprise contracts.
SOC 2 – Trust Services Criteria
Demonstrates robust security, availability, and privacy controls — particularly for cloud-based platforms or customer-facing services.
ISO 22301 – Business Continuity Management
Supports continuity during outages, attacks, or major incidents. Essential for maintaining services and meeting regulatory resilience expectations.
Improves service delivery, internal controls, and customer satisfaction. Often tied to supplier assurance and contract renewal.
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
Helps track emissions, reduce energy use, and improve sustainability across networks and infrastructure — increasingly important in ESG reporting.
ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety
Essential for telecoms engineers and technicians working at height, on roadsides, or in high-risk environments. Demonstrates proactive risk control.
ISO 27701 – Privacy Information Management
Adds GDPR-aligned privacy governance to ISO 27001. Essential when managing subscriber data, call metadata, or customer records.
ISO 42001 – Artificial Intelligence Management
AI powers fraud detection, traffic routing, and customer experience in telecoms. ISO 42001 ensures ethical, secure, and auditable deployment.
Telecoms compliance is complex enough. We help make your ISO systems streamlined and actionable, so teams can stay focused on performance, not policy headaches.
