ISO/IEC 27001 Certification
INFORMATION SECURITY FOR YOUR COMPANY
Numerous corporate business operations rely on information and communication systems. Information constitutes a critical asset that requires robust protection against unauthorized access via information security risk management strategies. Through the clear identification and classification of risks, their systematic assessment, and the disclosure of vulnerabilities, appropriate security measures can be implemented to minimize security risks.
What is the ISO/IEC 27001 standard?
ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for establishing, enforcing, maintaining, and continuously enhancing an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It assists organizations in conducting, assessing, managing, and monitoring appropriate information security risk assessments and treatments. Comparable to ISO 9001 certification, ISO/IEC 27001 certification demonstrates to stakeholders that an organization values well-defined structures and processes.
By obtaining the ISO/IEC 27001 certification, you signal to your business partners and customers that information security is a top priority. Additionally, certification serves as solid evidence for service providers within critical infrastructure that they are compliant with legal requirements and are committed to the continuous improvement of their ISMS.
How does one obtain certification according to the ISO/IEC 27001 standard?
A high level of information and data security is not only essential due to legal requirements (such as BDSG or DSGVO), but it also significantly enhances customer trust through ISO 27001 certification. Following a structured certification process for ISO/IEC 27001 ensures that your company consistently meets and improves upon relevant data protection and information security requirements for years to come. The main stages of the certification process include:
- Definition of the contract;
- Preliminary verification (upon request);
- Initial audit;
- Main audit;
- Surveillance visits to monitor continuous improvement;
Renewal of certification after three years following a comprehensive verification or continuous assessment over time. The concerned company is provided with a clear and comprehensive report on all stages of the process, enabling continuous improvement in Information Security Management performance.
