ISO 27001 is a specification for an information security management system (ISMS), providing standards for how a modern organisation should manage their data and information.
An ISMS is a collection of policies and procedures that contains the legal, physical and technological controls necessary to manage an organisation's information risk management process. It guarantees that a business or organisation knows its strengths and limitations and that the information and data they hold is more secure.
ISO 27001 is essential for monitoring, evaluating, maintaining and developing a business's information security management system, it will also undoubtedly create more trust and confidence in customers throughout their interactions with a business.
ISO 27001 is also an ultimate security feature for industries, such as IT, Accountants, Education, Finance, Hospitality and Retail. Learn more about different industries and their features.
ISO 27002 is intended to serve as a guide for selecting security controls throughout the process of establishing an ISO 27001-based Information Security Management System (ISMS).
