ISO 27001:2022
ISO 27001 Information Security Management System
What is ISO 27001
The ISO 27001 certification is awarded to businesses that implement an Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) that is compliant with the requirements of the international Standard, ISO 27001. It’s part of the ISO 27000 family of information security management Standards.
ISO 27001:2022 is the most recent version of the standard. You can learn more about the ISO 27001 certification requirements here.
Data theft, cyber crime and privacy breaches aren’t “if” scenarios, they’re today’s reality. Every organisation, no matter its size or sector, must treat information security as a strategic priority.
ISO 27001 gives you the blueprint to build a tailored Information Security Management System (ISMS) that grows with your business. You’ll establish a risk-based process aligned to your objectives, processes and structure, then scale it effortlessly as threats evolve.
While the IT industry holds nearly one in five ISO 27001 certificates, companies across manufacturing, services, public bodies and non-profits are reaping the rewards too. By embedding security into your processes, systems and controls, you’ll boost efficiency, reduce liability and emerge as a trusted leader in your field.
Embrace the holistic ISO 27001 approach, and turn today’s security challenges into tomorrow’s competitive edge.
What does it mean to be ISO 27001 certified
Certification to ISO 27001 is one way to demonstrate to stakeholders and customers that you are committed and able to manage information securely and safely. Holding a certificate issued by an accreditation body may bring an additional layer of confidence, as an accreditation body has provided independent confirmation of the certification body’s competence. If you wish to use a logo to demonstrate certification, contact the certification body that issued the certificate. As in other contexts, standards should always be referred to with their full reference, for example “certified to ISO 27001:2022” (not just “certified to ISO 27001”).
As with other ISO management system standards, companies implementing ISO 27001 can decide whether they want to go through a certification process. Some organisations choose to implement the standard in order to benefit from the best practice it contains, while others also want to get certified to reassure customers and clients.
ISO 27001 is widely used around the world.
As per the ISO Survey 2021, over 50,000 certificates were reported in more than 140 countries and from all economic sectors, ranging from agriculture through manufacturing to social services
