ISO/IEC 27001 Certification | Bureau Veritas

At the end of 2018, Bureau Veritas Certification Germany GmbH received accreditation from the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) for certifications according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 27001. This enables Bureau Veritas to offer its customers audits and certifications in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001. 

CORPORATE INFORMATION WORTH PROTECTING

Many corporate business processes depend on information and communication systems and reliable information delivery. Information is an important asset that must be adequately protected against unauthorised access through information security risk measures. By clearly identifying and classifying risks, systematically assessing them and disclosing vulnerabilities, appropriate security measures can be taken to minimise security risks.

ISO/IEC 27001 CERTIFICATION - THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD FOR ENHANCED INFORMATION SECURITY

ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognised international standard that sets out requirements for implementing, enforcing, maintaining and continuously improving an ISMS and helps organisations to conduct, assess, manage and monitor appropriate information security risk assessment and treatment. Through a structured risk management process, confidentiality, integrity and availability of information are maintained.

THESE ARE THE BENEFITS OF An ISO/IEC 27001 CERTIFICATION

Similar to ISO 9001 certification, ISO/IEC 27001 certification shows interested parties that you value good structures and defined processes..

You show your business partners and customers that information security, such as confidentiality, availability, integrity and authenticity of information, as well as the security of business operations, is a top priority for you. In addition, certification is good proof for service providers in the critical infrastructure (CRITIS companies) that they comply with legal requirements and continuously improve their ISMS.  

YOUR ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE

• ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognised standard
• A better assessment of business processes for information security

WHICH COMPANIES SHOULD BE CERTIFIED ACCORDING TO ISO/IEC 27001?

Certification according to ISO/IEC 27001 offers great added value, especially for data processing companies. In principle, however, the implementation of a management system according to ISO/IEC 27001 is suitable for all companies, since almost all companies use information technology systems and will be even more dependent on their security in the future.

YOUR PATH TO ISO 27001 CERTIFICATION - CERTIFICATION PROCEDURE

A high level of information and data security is not only desirable due to legal requirements (e.g. BDSG or DSGVO), but also because ISO 27001 certification strengthens the trust of your customers. A predefined certification process to ISO/IEC 27001 ensures that relevant data protection and information security requirements are met and improved in your company for years to come. 

THE ESSENTIAL STEPS ARE: 

• Conclusion of contract
• Certification audit in two stages:
  • Stage 1 audit to assess readiness for certification.
  • Stage 2 audit to assess implementation, including the effectiveness of the organisation's management system
• Surveillance audits to assess the effectiveness of the system, conformity with the requirements of the standard, and the continuous improvement process.
• Re-certification after 3 years

Each audit is followed by a manageable, complete audit report that provides you with the audit results.
