What is it?

ISO 27001 is an international standard that provides a process for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). An ISMS is a framework containing policies and procedures for an organization to follow throughout its information risk management process. Following the process will ensure that any company’s stored information is safe.

Who does it Apply to?

The standard applies to any functioning business, whether big or small, regardless of the industry. However, industries such as banking, financial, health, public, information technology and any others that hold large amounts of confidential information should take higher precautions towards protecting information by incorporating a thorough information risk management process.

What does it do?

ISO 27001 allows organizations that store information to carefully manage and secure the information that is being stored for clients and other stakeholders. It does this by providing, establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring and improving the ISMS that’s in place by containing a framework of controls that allow companies to stay on track with their information risk management process.

• Secure confidential information.
