What does it mean to be ISO27001 Certified?

ISO/IEC 27001 certification is an evidence of your commitment to secure and safely manage information. Certificates issued by accreditation bodies offer greater trustworthiness as they have been granted following independent evaluations of the competence of the certifying body. To display your certification, get in touch with the relevant body who issued it. It is recommended to always refer to the standard in its full form when mentioning, for instance: "certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022" rather just “certified to ISO27001”.

ISO27001 can demonstrate to customers and suppliers your capability regarding information security, which will protect your reputation as well as guarantee compliance. Becoming 270001 compliant allows you to stay on top of ongoing modifications in security controls, by regular audits. It's a way of having an effective system that ensures the best protection for your data.

Are ISO 27001 and ISO/IEC 27001 the same thing?

The formal label for the International Standard on requirements for information security management is ISO/IEC 27001. This was a joint publication from both the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It took the responsibility of Subcommittee 27, which focused on Information Security, Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection, within their Joint Technical Committee on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC 1). While it may frequently be identified as ISO 27001, its true designation remains ISO/IEC 27001.

The IS027001 Information Security Standard is vital for good security practices

It is essential in maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information held by businesses, keeping data secure and preventing potential cyber threats. Adopting it ensures that information assets remain safe and undamaged, making it a key consideration for any business.

Gaining certification against the criteria specified in the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 27001 standard is the only way for an business to show its trustworthiness and dependability when it comes to information security best practices and processes. This standard provides precise guidelines so that data management remains safe, including specifying an information security management system (ISMS). Moreover, this requires evidence of implemented management measures to ensure the security of confidential data.
