What is ISO 27001 compliance?

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (also known as ISO 27001) is the international standard for information security.

Part of the ISO 27000 series of information security standards, ISO 27001 is a framework that helps organizations “establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve an ISMS”.

ISO 27001 is an international standard for the implementation of an enterprise-wide Information Security Management System (ISMS), an organized approach to maintaining confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) in an organization. It offers double benefits — an excellent framework to comply with to protect information assets from malicious actors and a differentiating factor to give an organization an edge over its competitors. The global standard provides complete guidance on building, implementing, maintaining, and consistently improving the ISMS. ISO 27001 is the only global standard that helps organizations to understand the various requirements of an information security management system (ISMS). The system is a combination of multiple policies, procedures, processes, and systems within an organization that works to manage information security risks.

Who Uses ISO 27001?

The ISO 27001 ISMS standard is required by –

• Organizations carrying sensitive information, regardless of their size, be it public or private, IT or non-IT.

• Organizations expanding their business and seeking new clients. The international standard will help them stay in the competition, especially if their competitors are ISO 27001 certified.

• Contractors that need to be ISO 27001 compliant to secure projects.
