The ISO 27001 standard provides a structure for implementing an ISMS, safeguarding your information assets while making the process easier to manage, measure, and improve. It helps you address the three dimensions of information security: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. Obtaining buy-in from the executive team  This goes beyond obtaining budget for the audit. ISO 27001 requires that the executive team is actively involved in security management process and enforcing of security controls in their respective teams.

An organization has to figure out how to protect its information in all the other cases, and that includes someone from the inside wanting to do damage. A comprehensive approach is therefore needed, and this is what ISO 27001 defines. Although perhaps a daunting prospect, the task of organizing a management system for information security is crucial. Then opening up your system to independent review is industry best practice and ensures that your organization is ahead of the curve when it comes to threats. 

By achieving ISO 27001, companies are showing a commitment to ensuring that adequate security controls are in place to protect information and data from being accessed, corrupted, lost or stolen. Through ISO 27001 certification, companies can demonstrate compliance with internationally recognised standards of information security.

ISO 27001 is designed to cover much more than just IT. An important part of the Standard concerns data security across all areas of a business; whether it is online or offline. The Standard is suitable for businesses of all sizes, from startups to larger organisations

The information security management standard lasts for three years and is subject to mandatory audits to ensure that you are compliant. At the end of the three years, you will be required to complete a reassessment audit in order to receive the standard for an additional three years.
