What is ISO 27001?
Consisting of three core principles – confidentiality, integrity and availability – this standard considers everything about risk to information held by your organisation. It is designed to ensure that you are able to select adequate and proportionate security controls that protect your information assets and, most importantly, give your customers and other interested parties confidence that you are able to deal with their information properly and treat it with respect.
What are its benefits?
- demonstrating the integrity of your data and systems and your commitment to information security
- providing new business opportunities with those customers who have security at the front of their minds
- allowing you to enforce information security and reduce the possible risk of information loss or fraud
- enhancing the credibility of your organisation
