ISO 27001:2013 (Information Security Management System)
The international standard ISO 27001:2013 establishes a framework for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) to maintain data confidentiality, integrity, and availability while also adhering to regulatory requirements. Obtaining ISO 27001 accreditation is crucial for safeguarding your most important assets, including customer and employee data, brand reputation, and other sensitive information. For starting, implementing, running, and maintaining your ISMS, the ISO standard specifies a process-based method.
Implementing ISO 27001 is the best way to address consumer and statutory demands like the GDPR as well as potential security concerns like cybercrime, personal data breaches, terrorism, fire/damage, misuse, theft, and viral attacks.
Approximately 32% of firms have reported cyber security breaches or assaults so far in 2019. Additionally, the ISO 27001 standard is designed to be interoperable with other management systems norms, such as ISO 9001, and it is vendor-neutral in terms of both technology and approach, which means it is unaffected by any specific IT platform. Various employees of the company should therefore get training on the standard's meaning and how it applies to all areas of the business.
