ISO 27001 (or ISO/IEC 27001) is the leading international standard on information security management. As part of a wider set of related ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) standards – the ISO 27000 series – it provides a well-defined framework to help any business create, implement, and maintain an effective information security management system (ISMS).
The basic objective of ISO 27001, and any ISMS built to its specifications, is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of an organisation’s information. This includes assets such as financial details, intellectual property, employee information and third-party data.
An update to ISO 27001 is due to be published in early 2022 and it is understood that the main change will be to Annex A to reflect the changes in ISO 27002 which was published in February. ISO 27002 is essentially a referential document that lists controls that an organisation can use within its information security management system, to help to mitigate identified risks to information assets.
ISO 27001 is structured into a series of Clauses and an Annex, Annex A. The clauses 4-10 define the management system which covers off the following areas:
Annex A, defines the controls that can be used to mitigate information security risks identified during the risk assessment process that is carried out and, as stated above, the controls are defined in detail in ISO 27002.
For now, businesses that already have ISO 27001 do not need to do anything until the revised version of the standard is released, after which point organisations will, likely have 2 years to update their certification (the transition period has yet to be released). In the meantime, companies can start familiarising themselves with the new controls and establish a plan of action to address the changes.
ISO 27001 compliance is optional, but it can greatly improve your business in several ways:
While most news stories around cybercrime focus on large organisations, businesses of all sizes and industries are at risk, and the consequences can be devastating. The ISO 27001 compliance process forces business owners to look in detail at the way they manage and protect information assets, highlighting weaknesses before breaches occur. The standard also uses a continuous improvement lifecycle model which helps organisations constantly adapt their security according to the threats they are facing.
In achieving ISO 27001 certification, you are demonstrating to all stakeholders that you take information security seriously. This can enhance relationships with existing customers, employees, and investors, opening new business opportunities, ability to tender, and helping businesses to distinguish themselves from competitors.
It only takes a single data breach or mishap to damage a company’s reputation. Compliance with ISO 27001 will help you reduce the risk of data breaches that may have a reputational impact, and helping you maintain a positive position within the market.
By voluntarily implementing ISO 27001, you will be better positioned to meet regulatory requirements under data privacy and security laws such as EU/UK GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and the NIS Regulations (Network and Information Systems Regulations), as many of the criteria overlap. It can also save time for businesses who are required to complete supplier due diligence questionnaires, considerably reducing administrative overheads.
By becoming compliant with ISO 27001, you’ll build an ISMS that can be scaled to support the growth of your business. You’ll have a framework in place that will help account for changing risks and responsibilities, meaning you never lose sight of the best information management practices.
While ISO develops standards and determines compliance criteria, it can’t help businesses achieve certification – but Bulletproof can.
We make the path to ISO 27001 compliance fast, simple and cost-effective for businesses of all types and sizes. Our experienced consultants will take you through a refined four-step process to gain certification and start reaping the rewards.
