And sets the global benchmark for a risk-based approach to cyber security management. It establishes a comprehensive framework to ensure effective information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection.

An ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) helps to make sure information is always appropriately protected to assist with the preservation of:

• Confidentiality – ensuring that access to information is appropriately authorised
• Integrity – safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods
• Availability – ensuring authorised users have access to information when required

• Improved information security: By implementing the controls outlined in the standard, your organisation will better protect its sensitive data and systems from cyber threats and other security risks.
• Increased customer trust: ISO 27001 certification demonstrates to customers and clients that an organisation takes information security seriously and is committed to protecting its data.
• Enhanced compliance: Many industries and sectors have regulatory requirements related to information security. ISO 27001 certification helps meet these requirements and demonstrate compliance.
• Competitive advantage: In some cases, clients may only do business with organisations that have demonstrated their commitment to information security through ISO 27001 certification.
• Improved risk management: The risk assessment and management process required for ISO 27001 certification can help an organisation identify and prioritise potential security risks and implement controls to mitigate them.
• Improved business continuity: By implementing the controls outlined in the standard, an organisation can improve its ability to continue operating in the event of a security incident or other disruptive event.
