What is ISO 27001 Certification?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the leading international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), published by ISO and IEC, defining requirements to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an organization-wide approach to information security. It provides a systematic framework for managing information risks by combining policies, procedures, technical controls, and governance processes into a single, coherent management system.
An ISO 27001:2022-certified ISMS helps protect information assets such as customer data, financial records, intellectual property, operational data, and confidential government or defense-related information. The standard requires organizations to identify and evaluate information security risks, apply appropriate controls from Annex A, and monitor and improve these controls to reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber attacks, data leaks, and system outages.
