What is ISO 27001 certification?

ISO 27001 is the globally recognised Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) standard. It is officially known as the ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management standard.

Achieving this certification demonstrates that an organisation has implemented a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, such as customer and employee details, intellectual property, financial information and third-party data.

The certification process requires organisations to assess information security risks, implement robust security controls and processes, and embed information security management across the organisation.

The standard suits all organisations collecting and processing data, including SMEs, corporates and non-profit businesses.
