The ISO 27001 standard provides a framework for implementing an ISMS, safeguarding your information assets while making the process easier to manage, measure, and improve. It helps you address the three dimensions of information security: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.

The ISO 27001 framework supports the organization with forward planning based on risk assessments. The evidence is then used to create policies, processes, and security controls which address the organization’s vulnerabilities and ultimately protect it against cyber-attack. It goes considerably further than Cyber Essentials, providing 114 security controls that encompass people, processes, and technology.

When you obtain certification to ISO 27001, it means you can prove to both your clients and your internal stakeholders that you are serious about and committed to managing the security of the information they trust you with.

Being an ISO 27001 company ensures the protection of your information assets and hence reduces the probability of legal prosecution and losing clients' trust because of data breaches. ISO 27001 procedures enable you to promptly detect an incident of security breach and take action.

Not only does ISO 27001 certification help you demonstrate good security practices, thereby improving working relationships and retaining existing clients, but it also gives you a proven marketing edge against your competitors, putting you alongside the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.

The information security management standard ISO 27001 and its code of practice ISO 27002 were last updated in 2013, almost a decade ago. However, a new iteration of ISO 27002 was published earlier this year in February 2022, and a revised version of ISO 27001 is likely to be published in October 2022.

The ISO 27001 provides requirements for the ISMS, outlines a set of best practices, and details the security controls to manage information risks. The ISMS does not only address how technology handles information, but also how people and processes within a business can handle information securely.

The level of risk acceptable to the organization is a management decision - ISO 27001 does not impose an acceptable level of risk. If management decides that a high risk of compromise of personal information is acceptable to the organization, then ISO 27001 will provide a management framework to implement that.

The ISO 27001 implementation process will depend on the size and complexity of your organization, but in most cases, small to mid-sized organizations can expect to complete the process within 6–12 months.
