What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is a family of standards for information security management systems. If your business has an information security management system (ISMS) in place, it will need to meet a series of requirements in order to achieve ISO 27001 accreditation.
Why implement an ISMS?
With so much information now stored digitally, it is important for companies of all sizes in all industries to take care of sensitive data and minimise any potential security risks. Implementing a high-quality, ISO-compliant information security management system will help to ensure that your company’s data is kept safe and secure; it will also help you to earn the confidence of your customers, whose personal information will often be among the data affected by a security breach.What are the requirements of ISO 27001?
An ISO 27001-compliant ISMS must follow the ‘plan-do-check-act’ model:- Plan: Assess existing security risks, set objectives, and plan how you will meet them.
- Do: Put this plan into action at every level of your business.
- Check: Measure the results and look for any areas that may require additional improvement.
- Act: Implement improvements and ensure that your ISMS is fully optimised at all times.
