What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS) developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard provides a comprehensive framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continuously improving information security management systems in organizations of all sectors and sizes.
ISO 27001 is based on a number of key information security management principles, including identification and management of risks, protection of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, compliance with legislation and continuous improvement. The standard promotes the use of processes and procedures that ensure information assets are protected from a variety of threats.
Implementing ISO 27001 can help your organization achieve a high level of information security that results in protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Certification to this standard demonstrates your organization's commitment to security and continuous improvement of information management practices, which can open new opportunities and markets, as well as enhance your reputation with customers and partners.

We recertify every three years to confirm that your information security management system continues to meet the requirements of ISO 27001.
The main components of ISO 27001 include:
- A systems approach to information security management
ISO 27001 requires the development of a structured information security management system that covers all aspects of information processes and activities. This includes clear procedures and instructions for managing information risks and protecting data.
- Identification and assessment of risks
A core principle of ISO 27001 is the identification and assessment of information security risks. Organisations must identify vulnerabilities and threats and develop strategies to manage and minimise them.
- Leadership and senior management commitment
Effective leadership is essential for successful ISO 27001 implementation. Senior management must demonstrate commitment to the information security management system and provide the necessary resources and support to maintain and improve it.
- Access control
ISO 27001 requires the establishment of procedures to control access to information assets to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive information.
- Monitoring and evaluation
Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the information security management system is a fundamental aspect of ISO 27001. Organisations should use methods to monitor and measure security and take action to improve based on the data obtained.
