ISO 27001, the international information security standard

What is ISO 27001?

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 is the international standard that describes best practice for an ISMS (information security management system). Achieving accredited certification to ISO 27001 demonstrates that your company is following information security best practice and provides an independent, expert verification that information security is managed in line with international best practice and business objectives. ISO 27001 is supported by its code of practice for information security management, ISO/IEC 27002:2013.

What is an ISMS?

An ISMS is a systematic approach consisting of processes, technology and people that helps you protect and manage all your organisation’s information through effective risk management.

At the heart of an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS are business-driven risk assessments, which means you will be able to identify and treat security threats according to your organisation’s risk appetite and tolerance.

ISO 27001 benefits

ISO 27001 is one of the most popular information security standards in the world, with certifications growing by more than 450% in the past ten years. It is recognised globally as a benchmark for good security practice, and enables organisations to achieve independent certification by an accredited certification body following the successful completion of an audit.

ISO 27001 supports compliance with a host of laws, including the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and the NIS Regulations (Network and Information Systems Regulations).

Protect your data, wherever it lives

An ISO 27001-compliant ISMS helps protect all forms of information, whether digital, paper-based or in the Cloud.

Increase your attack resilience

Implementing and maintaining an ISMS will significantly increase your organisation's resilience to cyber attacks.

Reduce costs associated with information security

Thanks to the risk assessment and analysis approach of an ISMS, organisations can reduce costs spent on indiscriminately adding layers of defensive technology that might not work.

Respond to evolving security threats

Constantly adapting to changes both in the environment and inside the organisation, an ISMS reduces the threat of continually evolving risks.

Improve company culture

The Standard’s holistic approach enables employees to readily understand risks and embrace security controls as part of their everyday working practices.
