Overview
What is ISO/IEC 27001 certification?
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Certification shows that an organisation applies effective practices to protect sensitive data and information from threats and breaches. The standard aims to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, helping to protect an organisation's digital assets and meet legal and regulatory requirements.
ISO 27001 sets out a range of controls and procedures for organisations to follow, including risk analysis, information security policies, access control, encryption and incident management. Implementing the standard reduces security risks, builds trust with customers and partners and improves operational efficiency, which in turn strengthens the organisation's reputation and opens up wider opportunities in global markets.
