ISO 27001 Certification

What is ISO 27001 Certification?

ISO 27001 Certification is an Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard, published in October 2005 by ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and the International Electrotechnical Commission. ISO/IEC 27001 specifies the requirements for an information security management system — covering how a business establishes, implements, monitors, reviews, maintains and improves it.

ISO 27001 Certification provides a systematic approach to minimising the risk of unauthorised access or loss of information and ensuring effective use of protective measures for securing information. The standard gives organisations a framework to manage their compliance with legal and other requirements and to improve performance in managing information securely.

ISO 27001 is compatible with other management standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and works on the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle.
