ISO/IEC 27001 is the world-renowned standard for information security management systems (ISMS), outlining the requirements that an ISMS must satisfy. The standard provides guidance to companies of any size and sector for developing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system.
Compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 means that an organisation has established a system to manage the risks associated with the security of the data it owns or handles. This system adheres to all the best practices and principles of this international standard, providing assurance that data is secure.
In today’s world of increasing cybercrime and constant threats, it can seem daunting to manage cyber risks. ISO/IEC 27001 helps organisations become aware of risks and proactively identify and address vulnerabilities.
ISO/IEC 27001 encourages a comprehensive approach to information security that includes people, policies, and technology. An information security management system that follows this standard is an effective tool for managing risk, improving cyber resilience, and achieving operational excellence.
