Information is a valuable asset that can make or break your business. When properly managed it allows you to operate with confidence. ISO 27001 has been developed to “provide a model for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).” Any organization that holds information and is serious about Data Security and Data Privacy is a candidate for ISO 27001 Certification.
Many organizations are clueless about their key assets and how to protect them. ISO 27001 provides a framework for managing them in a way that is appropriate to the business. Implementation of ISO 27001 helps organizations to treat data security seriously. It works with your business and the kind of data it holds, whether it is bank account details, staff records, or client confidential information. An ISMS is a framework of policies and procedures that includes all legal, physical and technical controls involved in an organization’s information risk management processes.
At the very simplest form, it will boost your client’s confidence to trust your organization in keeping their data safe. It also demonstrates corporate due diligence and helps get compliant with the regulatory and contractual requirements regarding data security, privacy and IT governance. Healthcare companies, finance, public, and IT sectors can benefit greatly from a certified ISMS. An ISO 27001 certification is suitable for business of any size, in any given sector, which is looking to increase and enhance the company’s security of its data.
