What Is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is an international standard created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that outlines the process and policies needed to implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS) successfully.

This standard helps organizations establish and implement data security protocols to manage cyber security risks and comply with relevant laws.

An ISMS is a system that details the requirements for secure data and information management. It can help organizations secure confidential information such as intellectual property (IP) and third-party data, increase brand confidence with stakeholders and clients, and safely exchange data with other organizations.

ISO 27001 provides organizations with the structure and protocols needed to reduce the risk of data breaches and cyber security attacks, such as malware and ransomware. Further details are provided below.

As all organizations that collect, process and store data are at risk of cyber attacks, ISO 27001 is suited for all organization types and sizes in any industry or sector.

Amtivo is accredited for ISO 27001 by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB).

ISO 27001 FAQs

Who can benefit from ISO 27001?

An ISO 27001 certification can benefit any organization, providing them with the framework needed to improve their information and data security.

ISO 27001 was developed to be appropriate for any organization, regardless of size or type. It is ideal for any organization looking to boost its IT defenses and increase its credibility as a trustworthy organization.

As cyber security and data protection become a larger concern for customers, organizations demonstrating their commitment to robust security could enjoy winning more business and clients, retaining them for longer, and avoiding any potential legal ramifications.

What industries implement ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 certification is suitable for any organization, large or small, in any sector. The standard is especially relevant where information protection is critical, such as banking, financial, health, public, and IT. The standard also applies to organizations that manage high volumes of data or information on behalf of other organizations, such as data centers and IT outsourcing companies.

What is a data breach, and what are the consequences?

A data breach occurs when an outside party can access the data you’ve collected, processed, and stored. This can happen when data and information are stolen by hackers or by accidentally leaving a device that contains data in a public space.

Data breaches can have a number of consequences, both short and long-term. These can include financial penalties, litigation, reputational damage, loss of work and clients, and disruption of regular business.

Some of these consequences may even lead to your organization shutting down entirely.

How long does ISO 27001 certification last?

The Information Security Management System standard lasts for three years and is subject to mandatory audits to ensure compliance. At the end of the three years, you must complete a reassessment audit to receive the standard for an additional three years.
