ISO 27001 Information Security Management
What is it?
ISO 27001 is an Information Security Management System which adopts a business risk approach.
Achieving ISO 27001 accreditation demonstrates to your suppliers and clients a commitment to Information Security through an audited management system, risk assessment and controls.
More Than Just Documents
An overall culture of Information Security needs to be adopted by your organisation and reflected in your operations.
No management system will function correctly unless all those involved are fully aware of their responsibilities within it. Therefore it is important that training is provided for staff and that the system is fully communicated and available to all staff.
The Advantages
A certification from and external body demonstrates that the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard are in place and functioning.
It also:
- Reassures clients of your credibility.
- Reduced security incidents lead to cost savings.
- More tender documents are accepting ISO27001 accreditation as evidence of Information security compliance.
- Helps to ensure compliance with relevant laws.
