ISO 27001 Information Security Management System

Secure your knowledge and information with a systematic approach

Most organisations now rely on information systems to support all of their critical business processes. This dependency has led to an evolving risk from electronic security threats such as hacking, data loss, breach of confidentiality and even terrorism. These increasingly sophisticated attacks can come from individuals, private organisations or even clandestine foreign intelligence agencies. When these attacks result in loss of information, theft of confidential data or damage to critical systems and documents, organisations can suffer severe consequences including financial repercussions and reputational risk.

What is ISO/IEC 27001?

ISO/IEC 27001 is the leading international standard for information security management. It covers commercial, governmental and not-for-profit organisations, and specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, monitoring and improving an information security management system (ISMS).

You will also learn what your organisation needs to do in order to ensure its continued compliance to the standard after initial certification.
