ISO 27001 - Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)

Information  is crucial to operations and maybe even to the survival of any  organization. Certification to ISO 27001 will help an organization to  manage and protect its valuable information assets.

ISO  27001 is the only auditable international standard which defines the  requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The  standard is designed to ensure the selection of adequate and balanced  security controls.

This  helps an organization to protect its information assets and to give  confidence to any interested parties, especially its customers. The  standard is based in the process approach for establishing,  implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and  improving an ISMS.
 

ISO  27001 is suitable for all organizations, large or small, from any  sector. It is especially relevant to organizations where the protection  of information is critical, such as in the finance, telecommunications,  health, public and IT sectors. ISO 27001 is also very suitable for  organizations which manage information on behalf of others, such as IT  outsourcing companies (as a guarantee to customers that their  information is being protected).

ISO 27001 Certification Benefits:

Certifying an ISMS against ISO 27001 requirements can give the following benefits to an organization:
