Overview of ISO/IEC 27001
ISO/IEC 27001 is the leading international standard for information security management systems (ISMS), designed to help organizations protect their information systematically and cost-effectively through the adoption of an ISMS. This standard is part of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards, which are intended to help organizations keep information assets secure.
An ISO/IEC 27001 certification demonstrates that an organization has established, implemented, maintained, and continually improved their ISMS. It also shows that the organization has assessed the security risks and put in place the appropriate controls to mitigate or manage the risks.
