ISO 27001:2013 CERTIFICATION

The outdated BS7799-2 standard was largely replaced by the ISO 27001 standard, which was published in October 2005. The ISO 27000 series of standards aids businesses in protecting their information assets. If you're worried about protecting your assets, especially your information assets, ISMS offers a control framework to do so. This includes technological controls (virus management, access restrictions, network perimeter, encryption), procedural controls (e.g. document management), people controls (e.g. background screening), management controls (such as ISMS framework, ISMS policy), to name a few. Preventive, detective, restorative, maintenance, and monitoring controls are included in the controls. It is the information security management system's specification. The first publication of BS7799 as a code of practise occurred in the 1990s, making it a long-standing standard. This developed into a second portion.

A corporation can reap the following four crucial commercial advantages by implementing this information security standard:

Lower costs – the main philosophy of ISO 27001 is to prevent security incidents from happening and every incident, large or small, costs money. Therefore, by preventing them, your company will save quite a lot of money. and the best thing of all – investment in ISO 27001 is far smaller than the cost savings you’ll achieve.

Better organization – typically, fast-growing companies don’t have the time to stop and define their processes and procedures – as a consequence, very often the employees do not know what needs to be done, when, and by whom. Implementation of ISO 27001 helps resolve such situations, because it encourages companies to write down their main processes (even those that are not security-related), enabling them to reduce the lost time of their employees.

Comply with legal requirements – there are more and more laws, regulations and contractual requirements related to information security, and the good news is that most of them can be resolved by implementing ISO 27001 – this standard gives you the perfect methodology to comply with them all.

Achieve marketing advantage – if your company gets certified and your competitors do not, you may have an advantage over them in the eyes of the customers who are sensitive about keeping their information safe.
