ISO 27001 is the globally-recognised standard for information security management systems. If you've picked up a newspaper recently, you'll know that information security is an increasingly pressing matter for modern businesses; the high-profile data breaches to which TalkTalk and VTech fell prey last year make it soberingly clear that information security is not to be taken lightly. Hacks and security breaches damage customer trust and, in severe cases, they can ruin your brand's reputation.
So how can I improve my company's information security management?
It's a good idea to implement a robust information security management system (ISMS) within your company. This ISMS should be followed at every level of your business, and in order to ensure its efficacy, the system should meet the requirements of ISO 27001. Achieving ISO 27001 certification will:
- Ensure that your information security management system is fit for purpose
- Force you to constantly evaluate and improve your ISMS to meet current standards
- Instil trust in your clients and customers
