What is ISO 27001 information security management?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for information security. It sets out the specification for an effective ISMS (information security management system).
ISO 27001’s best-practice approach helps organizations manage their information security by addressing people, processes, and technology.
Certification to the ISO 27001 standard is recognized worldwide to indicate that your ISMS is aligned with information security best practices.
Part of the ISO 27000 series, ISO 27001 sets out a framework for organizations to establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, and continually improve an ISMS.
What is an ISMS?
An ISMS takes a systematic approach to secure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of corporate information assets.
An ISO 27001 ISMS consists of policies, procedures, and other controls involving people, processes, and technology.
An ISMS is an efficient way to keep information assets secure, based on regular risk assessments and technology- and vendor-neutral approaches.
Show that you are relevant jurisdictions compliant by using ISO 27001.

It is possible to achieve independently accredited certification to ISO 27001 if its controls are implemented – demonstrating to stakeholders and regulators that your organization adheres to international best practices for securing data.

It’s crucial to have a trustworthy and accurate record of the data you manage and handle if you want to comply with regulations for RoPAs. In most firms, information is dispersed over dozens or hundreds of systems, making data mapping virtually impossible. To experience how DPOsphere simplifies compliance, contact us.
