Financial, health, and telecommunications regulators in LATAM are intensifying security controls and risk management requirements. We translate regulatory requirements into implementable and auditable ISO controls.
The organization received a formal requirement from the regulator (BCRA, SBS, CMF, sector superintendency) demanding implementation of information security controls, risk management, or business continuity within a defined timeline. The internal team lacks experience translating regulatory requirements into ISO management frameworks.
Administrative sanctions and fines for regulatory noncompliance. Suspension of operating licenses in regulated sectors. Observations recorded in the regulator's history affecting future inspections. Regulatory intervention in operations if findings are critical.
We map each regulatory requirement against ISO 27001, ISO 22301, or ISO 31000 controls as applicable. We deliver a regulation-standard correspondence matrix with the current status of each control (implemented, partial, absent), a remediation plan with realistic timelines, and the documentation the regulator expects as evidence of compliance.
The BCRA (Argentina) requires security controls aligned with international standards for financial entities. The SBS (Peru) and CMF (Chile) incorporate ISO 27001 references in their cybersecurity circulars. In Brazil, the Central Bank and CVM require traceable cyber risk management frameworks. In Mexico, the CNBV references ISO standards in its security provisions.
In most cases, no. Regulators require equivalent controls, not necessarily formal certification. However, ISO certification provides structured and audited evidence that simplifies demonstrating compliance to the regulator. Our assessment determines whether formal certification adds strategic value or whether control implementation is sufficient.
The initial assessment and correspondence matrix are delivered in 2 weeks. Priority controls implementation depends on scope: a set of critical controls can be operational in 6 to 8 weeks; a complete management system requires 4 to 6 months. We adapt the timeline to the deadline granted by the regulator.
Assessment within 72 business hours. ISO methodology. No ties to certification bodies.
