ISO 27001
The international standard that defines how to establish, operate and continually improve an information security management system, and that independent bodies can certify against.
- 01
Why it matters
The standard turns security from one-off projects into a documented, audited system based on risk assessment. Corporate customers and tenders increasingly ask suppliers for the certificate. It shows that the system exists, not that every risk has been eliminated.
- 02
Example
A software company first limits its scope to the systems that process customer data, assesses its risks and decides which controls to apply. After a year of operation and an internal audit, it passes the certification audit.
- 03
Common mistake
Copying ready-made document sets to get the certificate without actually applying them. Audits look at records and practice, and a paper system will not help in the first breach either.
