ISO 27001 Certificate
Information Security Management Systems Certification
Certification Overview
ISO 27001:2022 (previously ISO 27001:2013) is a standard of requirements covering all aspects of information security within your organisation. The nature of this can vary between physical, intellectual or electronic security of information and data. You will establish what is critical to your business and how you therefore control and protect these information assets and identify vulnerabilities. An ISO 27001 Certificate will give your customers peace of mind that their data is being held securely and provide your staff with the tools and infrastructure to do this.
ISO 27001 Certification Benefits
Information security is now one of the most critical aspects of business management. Not only is it a compliance obligation to protect personal identifiable information in accordance with the UK GDPR but it is also of prime importance to safeguard your business information from cybercrime and other threats.
Effective implementation of an Information Security Management System will ensure that you become risk aware of a data breach and develop cyber resilience and in the event of a breach to establish a plan to get your business back up and running with as little impact as possible and address threats, weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
The new ISO 27001:2022 includes 11 completely new control requirements and has 24 merged controls which have helped to streamline the Standard. Controls have been categorised into 3 control types which include preventive, detective and corrective controls. The controls have also been grouped into 4 main business areas:
- Organisational controls
- People controls
- Physical controls
- Technological controls
Other benefits of Certification could include:
- Creating a manageable, efficient and methodical approach to ensure regulatory compliance in the areas IT Governance, Information Handling, Data Protection and Privacy.
- More and more key customers are already insisting that suppliers demonstrate ISO 27001 compliance and certification is increasingly becoming a minimum requirement in commercial decision making.
- Reduce time lost dealing with information security breaches.
- Proactively identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
- Reduce time taken to reinstate system after disruptive events.
- Helps you to comply with other regulations e.g., UK GDPR or PCI DSS.
