What is ISO?
Let’s get the technicalities out of the way. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organizations. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and works in 164 countries.
ISO 27001 standard specifies the requirements for “establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS)”.
The certification ensures the following:
- Demonstrating the independent assurance of our ISMS and security controls, and meeting corporate governance and business continuity requirements
- Independently demonstrating that applicable laws and regulations are identified and that there are processes in place to ensure compliance
- Providing a competitive edge by meeting contractual requirements and demonstrating to our customers that the security of their information is paramount
- Independently verifying that our organizational risks are properly identified, assessed and managed, while formalizing information security processes, procedures and documentation
- Proving our senior management’s commitment to the security of its information
- Regular assessment process helping us to continually monitor our performance and improve
