ISO 27001
Information Security Management Systems
ISO 27001 is the international standard for managing risks related to the security of information and data your organisation holds. The standard ensures that customer and employee data is stored securely and complies with legal requirements such as GDPR. It adopts a process-based approach for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, maintaining, and improving your information security management system (ISMS).
ISO 27001 Certification
- Achieve ISO 27001 certification through an internationally accredited certification body.
- Establish secure data transfer and information exchange between organisations.
- Develop a culture of security at all levels of an organisation to protect sensitive data.
- Demonstrate compliance with data security legislation such as GDPR.
- Ideal for organisations of all sizes and sectors that handle personal and commercial data.
What is ISO 27001?
A key priority for organisations is how secure the data and information they hold is. With high-profile data breaches and cyber security attacks such as ransomware, customers require organisations to handle, secure and store data and information to the highest standard.
ISO 27001 is the international standard organisations use to implement an information security management system (ISMS). An ISMS allows an organisation to establish data security protocols to manage security risks and comply with relevant legislation such as GDPR.
The standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and is part of the wider ISO/IEC 27001 family.
The ISO 27001 standard and ISMS provides a framework for information security management best practice that helps organisations to:
- Protect client and employee information.
- Manage risks to information security effectively.
- Achieve compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) regulations.
- Protect the company’s reputation and enhance customer trust.
- Develop and implement objectives in data protection and security.
What are the benefits of ISO 27001?
Protecting the data that you collect, process, and store plays a critical part in your organisation’s successful management and smooth operation. Customers, clients and employees expect organisations to act as trusted and responsible bearers of their data.
ISO 27001 certification allows organisations to:
- Keep confidential information secure.
- Provide customers and stakeholders with confidence in how data risk is controlled.
- Securely exchange data and information between organisations.
- Comply with data and information security regulations.
- Gain a competitive advantage with tenders that require information security certification.
- Enhance customer satisfaction and deepen trust with commercial data.
- Provide consistent delivery across products and services.
- Reduce the risk of data breaches or cyber attacks.
- Develop an internal culture of information security.
- Protect the organisation, assets, shareholders and directors.
