Overview of ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management.
It provides a framework to help organisations protect sensitive data, manage risks, and demonstrate compliance with legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements.
The standard covers areas such as access control, risk assessment, data protection, incident management, and business continuity. It also helps organisations prepare for and respond to security threats like cyber attacks, data breaches, and system failures.
At its core, ISO 27001 promotes a systematic approach to managing information security risks through an ISMS – a structured framework of policies, procedures, and technical measures designed to safeguard information assets.
The main aim of ISO 27001 is to help organisations establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an ISMS to protect information and ensure business resilience. This involves identifying risks and opportunities, implementing appropriate controls, and regularly reviewing their effectiveness.
Why Pursue ISO 27001 Certification?
