ISO 27001: Information Security System
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 helps organisations to manage and protect their information assets so that they remain safe and secure. It helps you to continually review and refine the way you do protect information, not only for today, but also for the future. Using ISO 27001 will help your organisation manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted to you by third parties.
Why is it Important?
ISO 27001 builds an information security management system designed to keep confidential data secure, prevent data breaches and promote security mindsets within the workplace. Every single modern business will have key data that needs to be kept confidential and an ISO 27001 certification can demonstrate to clients, customers and stakeholders that you are serious about your business’ information security.
