ISO27001 is the world’s most recognised standard for information security. It relates to the security of all forms of information, including all types of data, documents, communications, conversations, messages, recordings and photographs. It includes everything from digital data and email to telephone conversations and printed materials. However, it should not be confused with the standard for information technology systems management ISO20001 (ITSMS).
ISO27001 key principles are:
- Management of any form of risk to information pertaining to the company
- Preservation of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information that the company holds
- Reassurance to all parties that information risks are adequately managed
The benefits of ISO27001 are:
- Reduction of the likelihood of information misuse and fraud
- Compliance with GDPR, Data Protection and other information security regulations
- Reduction of information security risk(s)
