It enables organizations to demonstrate excellence and prove best practice in Information Security management. Conformance with the standard requires commitment to continually improve control of confidential and sensitive information, providing reassurance to sponsors, shareholders and customers alike.
ISO/IEC 27001 provides a model to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve a risk-managed ISMS. The design and implementation of the management system is tailored to the organization’s objectives, information assets, operational processes and governing legal and regulatory security requirements.
