ISO/IEC 27001 - Information Security Management System (ISMS)
Information Security Management
The ISO/IEC 27001 - Information Security Management System (ISMS) Standard helps organizations keep corporate information and data secure, whether it is online or offline.
Using this family of standards will help your organization manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted to you by third parties.
ISO 27001 Accreditation/Certification not only increases customers and stakeholders confidence, but also company's reputation is improved which gives the certified organization a competitive edge over non-certified organizations.
ISO/IEC 27001 aims to ensure that adequate controls addressing confidentiality, integrity and availability of information are in place to safeguard the information of interested parties. These include customers, employees, trading partners and the needs of society in general.
Unprotected systems are vulnerable to all kinds of threats, such as computer-assisted fraud, sabotage and viruses. These threats can be internal or external, and both accidental or malicious. Breaches in information security can allow vital information to be accessed, stolen, corrupted or lost. How confident are you that your company has the appropriate controls and procedures in place to avoid such incidents?
An information security management system compliant to ISO/IEC 27001 can help you demonstrate to trading partners and customers alike that you take information security seriously.
