ISO/IEC 27001 – Information Security Management System
The international standard ISO 27001 describes the requirements for an information security management system (ISMS).
Information security means the protection of information and information systems against unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction. For over twenty years, the most important principles of information security have been (confidentiality, integrity and availability – also known as the ‘CIA triad’)). Information Security Management System (ISMS) is part of a general management system in companies and promotes the security of information related to risk management.
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) protects your sensitive data. Aligned with ISO 27001, it provides a structured framework to protect people, processes and IT systems. By implementing an ISMS, you minimise the risks of data breaches, protect your company's reputation and comply with regulations, ultimately protecting your business and image.
Whether you are a small startup or a large enterprise, information security is of paramount importance.
The principal concept behind an ISMS for an organisation is the design, implementation and maintenance of a coherent totality of processes and systems for the effective management of information accessibility. Just as in the case of all management processes, an ISMS must remain effective and efficient in the long term, and has to be modified in accordance with changes in the internal organisation and the external environment.
ISO 27001 provides a structured approach to managing your organisation's information security risks. By implementing an ISMS, you gain a competitive advantage, improve your brand reputation and build customer trust. This internationally recognised standard promotes a culture of continuous improvement and can be easily integrated with other management systems.
