What is ISO 27001?
A key priority for organisations is to secure the data and information they hold. 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, also known as ISO/IEC 27001, is the world’s best-known standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic and comprehensive approach to managing and protecting sensitive information within an organisation. Certification to ISO 27001 is valuable to organisations looking to enhance their cybersecurity posture and demonstrate their commitment to protecting sensitive information.
The standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization and is part of the wider ISO/IEC 27000 family. It was recently updated from the 2013 version of the standard to the 2022 version and the latest version of the standard is known as ISO/IEC27001:2022.
