How Google Workspace and JumpCloud help you become ISO 27001 compliant

Why Revolgy is your guide to a successful ISO 27001 audit

For many companies, an ISO 27001 audit can be stressful. You need the certificate to close deals or make investors happy, but the process is lengthy and paperwork-heavy.

The good news is that you don’t need expensive, heavy software to pass it. Google Workspace and JumpCloud have everything you need to build a secure office.

But buying the software doesn’t automatically make you compliant. You have to set it up exactly as the auditor wants. If you miss a specific setting or leave a security gap, you fail the audit.

Revolgy, as a Google Cloud Premier Partner and a certified JumpCloud Partner, we know exactly which settings to turn on. We don’t just sell you the licenses; we configure the system so you are ready to pass.

Why ISO 27001 is important

ISO 27001 is the global standard for information security. It shows your customers that you manage risk responsibly. To get certified, you must prove to an auditor that you have strict control over who sees your data, how you manage computers, and what happens when employees join or leave.

You cannot just say you are secure; you must show the logs and settings that prove it.

Google Workspace takes care of your security basics

Using Google Workspace is a great start; it handles many security basics for you, such as encryption.

To meet ISO standards, you can configure Google Workspace to:

• Protect passwords: Enforce 2-Step Verification to stop hackers, even if they steal a password.
• Secure mobile devices: Require screen locks on work phones and wipe company data remotely if a device is lost.
• Keep records: Google logs user activity, which provides the audit trails necessary for certification.

However, Google Workspace mostly manages Google apps. To pass a strict ISO audit, you must manage your entire environment, including the laptops your team uses (Macs, Windows, and Linux) and access to other software. Our partner, JumpCloud, secures these devices and apps.

JumpCloud secures your devices and access

JumpCloud connects with Google Workspace to cover the areas auditors check most closely. It works as a central directory that controls user access to everything, not just email, but also your Wi-Fi, VPNs, and company computers.

As a JumpCloud partner, we recommend it because it simplifies the most difficult parts of ISO 27001:

1. Strictly controlling access

ISO 27001 requires you to limit access to your systems. JumpCloud makes sure that only the right people get in. It uses Single Sign-On (SSO), so employees use one secure identity to log in to all their apps. If a login looks suspicious, the system can block it immediately.

2. Managing every device

Auditors will ask how you secure the laptops your employees use. JumpCloud allows you to manage Windows, Mac, and Linux computers from one screen. You can force all computers to use disk encryption and automatic screen locks. This confirms to the auditor that every device on your network follows your security rules.

3. Automated Onboarding and Offboarding

A common audit mistake is failing to revoke access for former employees. JumpCloud solves this through automation. When an employee leaves, you disable them in one place. They instantly lose access to Google Workspace, their laptop, and all other connected apps. This prevents human error and keeps your data safe.

4. Giving Auditors the Data They Need

Auditors require detailed history logs. JumpCloud records exactly who accessed what and when. This makes the audit process much faster because you have the data ready to hand over.
