About Masoom Group

Masoom Group is a large-scale manufacturing conglomerate with a strong operational presence across India. With multiple business verticals and entities under one roof, the group has consistently demonstrated a commitment to operational excellence, process efficiency, and responsible governance.

As the manufacturing sector increasingly intersects with digital operations, data integrity, and supply chain accountability, Masoom Group took a forward-thinking step: building an enterprise-grade Information Security Management System (ISMS) aligned with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standards across not one, but two of its entities simultaneously.

The entities in scope were:

  • MK Agrotech Private Limited

  • M11 Energy Transition Private Limited

This was not a compliance checkbox exercise. It was a deliberate, organization-wide commitment to information security governance one that required a structured approach, the right platform, and a team that understood both compliance and operations.

The Challenge: Enterprise-Scale ISO 27001 Implementation Without Chaos

Implementing ISO/IEC 27001 across a single entity is a significant undertaking. Doing it across two business units simultaneously, with distinct teams, operations, and documentation requirements, demands a level of coordination that ad-hoc tools simply cannot support.

Masoom Group needed more than a checklist. They needed a centralized compliance infrastructure that could:

  • Manage ISO/IEC 27001 controls and evidence across both entities from a single platform

  • Replace fragmented spreadsheets and siloed documentation with structured, traceable compliance workflows

  • Enable employees at all levels to engage with information security policies, not just read them

  • Reduce manual audit preparation effort while ensuring every control was audit-ready

  • Establish a compliance framework that was practical, scalable, and built to last beyond certification

The goal was certification, but the intent was transformation.

The Solution: WhizzC GRC Platform, Built for Exactly This

Masoom Group partnered with WhizzC, a purpose-built Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform designed to help organizations achieve and sustain security certifications including ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR.

WhizzC was deployed as the single source of truth for the entire ISO/IEC 27001 implementation across both entities, all departments, and every stage from gap assessment to final certification audit.


Centralized Compliance Management

WhizzC gave Masoom Group's teams a unified space to manage every compliance activity from control implementation and documentation to pending task tracking and stakeholder coordination. This eliminated the dependency on disconnected spreadsheets and manual status updates, giving leadership real-time visibility into implementation progress across both entities.


Built-in ISO/IEC 27001 Policies, Procedures, and Templates

One of the most time-intensive parts of ISO 27001 implementation is documentation. WhizzC's built-in, standard-aligned policy library and ready-to-use templates accelerated this significantly. Masoom Group's teams didn't start from scratch they started with a structured, consistent foundation that could be adapted to their operational context and applied uniformly across both entities.


Employee Awareness and Policy Acknowledgement

An ISMS is only as strong as the people who operate within it. WhizzC's integrated employee awareness module enabled Masoom Group's workforce to access information security policies directly within the platform, complete awareness training, and digitally acknowledge organizational policies creating a verifiable, auditable record of organizational engagement with information security practices.


AI-Assisted Evidence Validation with Whizz AI

Audit readiness is where many compliance implementations fall short. WhizzC's Whizz AI performed preliminary validation of uploaded artefacts and supporting evidence before they progressed to the manual review stage. This additional layer of automated verification improved evidence quality, closed documentation gaps early, and ensured that every piece of evidence submitted met the requirements of ISO 27001:2022 not just in form, but in substance.


End-to-End Implementation Support from WhizzC's GRC Team

WhizzC's GRC experts worked as an extension of Masoom Group's internal teams throughout the engagement. This included implementation guidance, compliance reviews, documentation support, ISMS consultation, audit preparation assistance, employee awareness coordination, and continuous stakeholder engagement across both entities. The result was an implementation that moved with clarity and purpose not uncertainty.

The Takeaway

Masoom Group's ISO/IEC 27001 certification journey is a proof point for what structured GRC implementation looks like at scale. For large organizations managing compliance across multiple entities, the combination of the right platform, the right expertise, and a genuine organizational commitment makes certification not just achievable but operationally sustainable.

Large manufacturing groups don't have the luxury of compliance chaos. Fragmented documentation, untracked controls, and unprepared audits cost more than just time they cost credibility. Masoom Group chose to build their information security foundation the right way: centralized, structured, and built to last.

WhizzC was built for exactly this kind of challenge. And Masoom Group proved it works.
