What is ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the leading international standard for information security management. It covers commercial, governmental and not-for-profit organizations, and specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, monitoring and improving an information security management system (ISMS). It includes people, processes and IT systems by applying a risk management process.
It can help small, medium and large businesses in any sector keep information assets secure. It is extremely beneficial to any company who manages information and has to demonstrate how securely this information is handled, managed and distributed.
Why is ISO/IEC 27001 important for your business?
Most organizations now rely on information systems to support all of their critical business processes. This has led to an ever growing risk from electronic security threats such as hacking, data loss, breach of confidentiality and even terrorism. These attacks may result in loss of information, theft of confidential data or damage to critical systems and documents, meaning organizations can suffer severe consequences including financial repercussions and reputational risk.
Disruptions to business IT processes can cripple your operations and allow your competitors to gain market share. ISO/IEC 27001 offers a systematic and well-structured approach that will protect the confidentiality of your information, ensure the integrity of business data and improve the availability of your business IT systems.
