A little about ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is the leading international standard focused on information security. Not only does the standard provide companies with the necessary know-how for protecting their most valuable information, but a company can also get certified against ISO 27001 and, in this way, prove to its customers and partners that it safeguards their data. Because it is an international standard, ISO 27001 is easily recognised all around the world, increasing business opportunities for organisations and professionals.

As per the ISO 27001 definition, the basic goal of an Information Security Management System is to protect three aspects of information:

  • Confidentiality: Only authorised persons have the right to access information.
  • Integrity: Only authorised persons can change the information.
  • Availability: The information must be accessible to authorised persons whenever it is needed.

There are four essential business benefits that a company can achieve with the implementation of ISO 27001:

1. Comply with legal requirements

There are an ever-increasing number of laws, regulations, and contractual requirements related to information security. 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. For example, if you’re wondering what ISO security standard can help guide the creation of an organisation’s security policy to be compliant with the EU GDPR or NIS 2, the answer is ISO 27001. You can always look toward the ISO for information security.

2. Achieve competitive advantage

If your company has an Information Security Management System (ISMS) certified to ISO 27001, and your competitors do not, you may have an advantage over them in the eyes of those customers who are sensitive about keeping their information safe.

3. 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 could save money. And the best thing of all — investment in ISO 27001 is far smaller than the potential cost of a data breach.

4. Better organisation

Typically, fast-growing companies don’t have the time to stop and define their processes and procedures — consequently, employees often do not know what needs to be done, when, and by whom. Implementation of an ISO 27001-compliant Information Security Management System (ISMS) 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 lost time by their employees and maintain critical organisational knowledge that could otherwise be lost when people leave the organisation.
