Businesses need to remain interconnected while ensuring that information is timely and accurate, communications are clear, and confidentiality is maintained. A robust information security management system (ISMS) enables you to exploit interconnectivity while managing information security, cybersecurity and privacy risks.
ISO/IEC 27001 specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an ISMS. It also sets out the requirements for assessing and treating cyber risks, based on your specific needs.
Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification demonstrates your commitment to information security and provides assurance to clients and other partners that you are serious about protecting information under your control.
Long-term benefits of ISO/IEC 27001 certification include:
- Enhanced credibility
- Reduced risk of fraud, information loss and disclosure
- Demonstration of integrity to your system
- Business culture transformation and greater awareness of the importance of keeping information secure
- New business opportunities with security-conscious customers
- A stronger notion of confidentiality throughout the workplace
- Better preparedness for the unavoidable – the next security event or incident
What is the ISO/IEC 27001 certification process?
There are seven steps to the process:
- Application and quote
- Competence analysis – identify gaps in skills and competence at the outset
- Gap assessment – identify any weaknesses before the formal audit
- Stage 1 audit – confirmation that implementation is on track
- Stage 2 audit – confirmation that implementation is complete
- Certification – share your success
- Ongoing improvement – regular surveillance visits
Aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
ISO/IEC 27001 contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal nine.
