What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is an international standard on how to manage information security. It provides requirements for an information security management system (ISMS) and helps organizations manage their information security by addressing people and processes as well as technology.

Benefits of ISO 27001 Certification

Certifying to ISO 27001 demonstrates that an organization has defined and put in place best-practice information security processes.

In certain industries that handle very sensitive classifications of data, ISO 27001 certification is a requirement for vendors and other third parties. But regardless of what industry your business is in, showing ISO 27001 compliance can be a huge win.

The certification shows compliance with several regulations and standards and proves to customers, governments, and regulatory bodies that your organization is secure and trustworthy. This will enhance your reputation in the marketplace and gives you a proven marketing edge against your competitors.

It helps you to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and reduce operational costs.

It also helps you avoid financial damages or penalties from data breaches or security incidents.
