Help manage your information security with ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is a globally compliant information risk management standard that outlines the appropriate and necessary controls to protect data. According to IT Governance, the number of certifications has grown by over 450% in the last ten years. Implementing ISO 27001 also helps your business to meet GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and NIS (Network and Information Systems) requirements.
How becoming ISO 27001 certified works
The objective of ISO 27001 is to establish a framework of standards for how a modern business should manage their information security by addressing people, processes, and technology. ISO 27001 is a part of the ISO 27000 series of information security standards.
This framework helps organisations establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, and continually improve an Information Security Management System (ISMS). ISO 27001 ensures that organisations can deliver the same consistent level of security to all customers and partners, no matter where they are in the world and regardless of their size or industry.

The processes around ISO 27001
ISO 27001's approach is the industry standard for best practices in information security, regardless of the technology. The specification defines six key planning processes: defining a security policy; the scope of ISMS; conducting risk assessment and managing assessed risks; picking control objectives to be implemented, and preparing the statement of applicability.

The benefits of ISO 27001 certification
By having ISO 27001 in place, businesses can expect increased coordination and management responsibility. In turn, this will lead to a continual improvement of processes, internal audits that lead to positive action, as well as foster a culture of security awareness among team members. As a result, the business will be more resilient to cyber-attacks at every level.

How to become ISO 27001 certified
For a company to be certified, an accredited certification body needs to do a two-stage audit. If the organisation is compliant with the ISO 27001 standard, then it will get awarded a certificate. Certification can take place over 3 months up to 12 months depending on the size of your organisation and how big your ISMS scope is, and requires recertification after every 3 years.
