ISO27001 standard
(Information security management system)
ISO27001 standard consulting and its implementation in the organization by creating information security infrastructure against the risks of loss, damage or any other threats, ensures that your organization keeps your information assets safe and impenetrable.
In today’s information economy, it is likely that many of your organization’s most important assets are in digital form. Unfortunately, the convenience of the digital world comes with a dark side: Cyber security risks are a constant headline in the news. Because these assets are valuable and potentially vulnerable, you must work to protect them.
Companies that achieve ISO 27001 certification confirm that the security of financial information, intellectual property, employee details, assets or information entrusted to them from third parties is successfully managed and continuously in accordance with the best Approaches and frameworks improve.
The ISO 27001 standard officially specifies an information security management system (ISMS), a set of activities related to the management of information risks (referred to as “information security risks” in the standard).
ISMS is a comprehensive management framework through which the organization identifies, analyzes and reviews its information risks.
An ISMS ensures that security settings are adjusted to keep pace with changes in security threats, vulnerabilities, and business impacts.
This standard covers all organizations (e.g. commercial companies, government agencies, non-profits), of any size (from small businesses to large multinationals) and all industries or markets (e.g. retail, banking, defense, healthcare , education and government).
Basics of information security
Most people think of information security as a technology issue. They believe that anything to do with data security or protecting computers from threats is a topic that only technology professionals – and computer security professionals in particular – should deal with.
In an organization, decisions about information security should be made by management, not the IT team – these are senior executives who are ultimately associated with business risks. The ISMS specifically recognizes that responsibility for decision-making should rest with senior management and that the ISMS should reflect their choices and provide evidence of program implementation effectiveness.
An ISO27001-compliant ISMS will help you protect your organization’s data, as well as meet legal and regulatory requirements.
Both of the mentioned types of requirements consider the implementation of the ISO27001 standard as an economically prudent decision. However, simply implementing an ISMS does not provide the distinct market value that achieving ISO27001 certification does.
