Overview

ISO 27001 is a widely recognised international standard that provides a framework for information security management systems (ISMS).

ISO 27001 provides a comprehensive set of controls and best practices to help organisations establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their ISMS. The standard covers a wide range of security domains, including risk management, access control, physical security, business continuity, and incident management.

ISO 27001 is designed to be applicable to all types of organisations, regardless of their size, industry, or location. It can be used by organisations in both the private and public sectors and provides a flexible framework that can be customized to meet an organization's specific needs.

Adopting ISO 27001 can help organisations identify and mitigate information security risks, improve their overall security posture, and demonstrate their commitment to information security to customers, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies. Certification to the standard can also provide a competitive advantage, as it can be used to demonstrate compliance with information security requirements to potential customers and business partners.
