What is the ISO 27001 (ISMS)?
The ISMS is a systematic approach which manages all vital business information and secures it from unauthorised access. The standard helps you in identifying threats to which your information system may be exposed and then guides you to take steps and put appropriate controls in place so as to mitigate the risks involved. Thus, you secure your confidential business data effectively.
With the ISMS in place you show your commitment to a global practice and prove to your suppliers, stakeholders, and customers that security is a paramount element for your business operations.
