About ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the international standard that outlines the frameworks and best practices for implementing and maintaining an Information Security Management System.
At its core, it helps registrants manage their sensitive information, reduce the risk of data breaches, and keep their processes and systems compliant with current laws and regulations. But more than this, it encourages businesses to develop a stronger, more resilience service that can resist many of today’s cybersecurity threats.
Why invest in ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 certification will help you:
Protect your data and stay compliant
ISO 27001 provides a comprehensive framework to ensure that you implement proper controls to safeguard personal and sensitive data – and by doing so, you’ll comply with both the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act.
Gain more trust
You’ll be able to reassure your customers that you have robust systems in place to protect information from security breaches or cyberattacks. This fosters trust and confidence, which is increasingly important in the digital age where customers expect businesses like yours to take data protection seriously.
Protect your firm from cyberattacks
Data breaches, ransomware, phishing attacks, and other cybercrimes can cause significant financial and reputational harm to your business. ISO 27001 introduces strong security controls, including encryption, to reduce your vulnerabilities and keep you protected.
Boost business continuity
ISO 27001 requires businesses to have incident response plans and business continuity strategies in place. These protocols ensure that, in the event of a cyberattack, data breach, or other security incidents, you have what you need to respond quickly and effectively.
Improve your approach to risk management
The structured approach towards information security that ISO 27001 provides will help you build resilience against data breaches, loss of intellectual property, and other information security incidents, all of which can have severe financial and reputational consequences.
Improve your operational efficiency
Achieving ISO 27001 certification will transform the way you handle data, reducing the chances of human error, and ensuring that you and your employees follow tried-and-tested practices when dealing with sensitive information.
Nurture employee awareness and accountability
Everyone has their own role to play in protecting your business from cyberthreats. ISO 27001 encourages better, more regular cybersecurity training for everyone who works for and with you, reducing the frequency and impact of human errors on your security provision.
Gain a competitive advantage
Many suppliers or clients – particularly those in the finance, defence and healthcare industries – will require you to be ISO 27001 certified before they will consider you as a viable partner. Achieving the standard can open up new opportunities that weren’t previously available to you.
