How implementing ISO27001 helps improve your organisation’s cyber security posture
A key benefit of implementing ISO27001 is that it provides a structured framework allowing your organization to identify and manage information security risks. The standard also requires organisations to continually review and improve their information security management system (ISMS), ensuring that it remains updated and capable of defending against emerging cyber threats. A robust ISMS is key to safeguarding not only customer information, but also protecting an organisations operations and intellectual property.
Adopting the ISO27001:2022 standard helps organisations identify likely security threats and vulnerabilities, and implement appropriate controls to mitigate or eliminate those risks. It provides a holistic approach, addressing all aspects of information security, including organisational controls, people controls, physical controls and technology controls. ISO27001 addresses the core objectives of information security – that is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. By becoming certified to ISO27001, your organisation will be able to demonstrate its commitment to the highest standards of information security, building confidence and trust with your customers, partners and other stakeholders.
