ISO 27001 (also known as the IEC 27001), is an international standard for managing information security.
It is the only auditable standard on an international level that clearly defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving upon information security management systems (ISMS).
Because this is the only international standard by which information security can be judged, it puts into place a set of procedures, policies, and systems that oversee and manage information risks.
ISO 27001 information risk assessments could include events like breaches in data, being hacked, data theft, or cyber-attacks, so ISO 27001 is extremely important for maintaining global data security and protection.
There are a number of ISO 27001 requirements that must be evaluated and met, including:
Before you apply to become ISO certified, it’s important that you take the time to do a thorough evaluation on all sides of your company, so that you can ensure that you’re meeting the ISO 27001 security standards.
The first step should be documenting and implementing any information security requirements that have not yet been met. Once those are in place, the company can apply to have a certification body perform an ISO 27001 audit for compliance.
Companies can only claim ISO 27001 certification in their marketing materials after the audit has been passed and finalized. Remaining certified requires periodic reviews as part of an ongoing certification cycle.
