ISO 27001 - Information Security Management System

ISO 27001 is an ISO standard for the effective security of information. Both physically and digitally. The latter is becoming increasingly important because of the increasing cybercrime. ISO 27000 provides guidelines on the process of setting up information security. Information security means 'ensuring the availability, integrity and confidentiality of all information'. ISO 27001 provides tools for setting up adequate ICT systems, and directs the organization and human actions. The ISO 27001 certificate shows that the organization is fully in control of its information security system.

Your advantages of ISO 27001 are:
· Your sensitive (personal) information is effectively protected.
· You can work with a professional organization.
· The organization can also work for the most demanding professional companies and governments.
· The company automatically complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

Certification in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard is no sinecure. It requires a high level of professionalism in obtaining and maintaining the certificate.
