Your information security in order
ISO 27001 certification
You want to comply with the ISO 27001 standard and perhaps even successfully pass the ISO 27001 certification. However, where should you start and what is the ISO 27001 anyway?
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security. It describes the process by which an organisation gets and keeps information security in order.
ISO 27001 focuses on risk analysis to control and reduce risks to an acceptable level for the organisation in question. These countermeasures can be based on those proposed in the standard that form a coherent whole.
Implementation of ISO 27001
Many SMB (small and medium-sized businesses) organisations are reluctant to implement adequate information security according to ISO 27001. This is not entirely unexpected, because of the abstract description of the standard which makes it very difficult to translate to one's own practice. On the other hand, because of the large amount of documentation that needs to be prepared and new processes that need to be implemented.
A large number of organisations therefore choose to have a large part of the implementation done by external consultants or to do only that which is strictly necessary for the customer's requirements.
Nevertheless, implementing information security according to ISO 27001 does not have to be expensive or complicated for an SMB organisation. The majority of SMB organizations are organised in a similar way, thus the main implementation requirements are comparable.
The benefits of ISO 27001
