Introduction to ISO 27001 Standard – (ISMS) Information Security Management Systems
The rise of globalization, cloud, and internet have required companies to protect and monitor the various systems used to collect, manage and/or analyze information.ISO 27001 ISMS was created to help companies define expectations on how to manage information security, mitigate risks, and prevent negative outcomes.
The ability to aggregate more information easily, however, has made companies more vulnerable to threats as they aim to protect their information from accidental exposure or from being victimized in crime-related losses.
Each organization will have a defined implementation that is based on the types of infrastructure, information, products and services provided, all by applying a risk-based approach to information security management. Our certified ISO 27001 Consultants can show you how to successfully prepare for and achieve an ISO 27001 certification, and strategically support your Information Security Management goals and objectives.
