What is ISO27001?

ISO27001 is the only auditable international standard that defines the requirements of an information security management system (ISMS). An ISMS is a set of policies, procedures, processes, and systems that manage information risks, such as cyber-attacks, hacks, data leaks, or theft.
Certification to ISO/IEC 27001 demonstrates that an organisation has defined and put in place best-practice information security processes. Not all organisations choose to get certified but use ISO 27001 as a framework to show they are using the best practice.

Achieving ISO 27001 certification can be a complex process, but there are several key steps that businesses can take to help ensure a successful outcome. Here are some of the most important steps to follow when pursuing ISO 27001 certification:

Conduct a gap analysis: The first step is to assess the organization's current security posture and identify any gaps between the existing controls and the requirements of ISO 27001. This will help to determine the scope of the certification project and highlight any areas that need improvement.

Develop an information security management system (ISMS): An ISMS is a framework of policies and procedures that governs how the organization manages and protects its sensitive information. This system should be designed to align with the ISO 27001 standard and must be implemented and maintained throughout the organisation.

Conduct a risk assessment: A risk assessment helps identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to the organization's sensitive information. This assessment will help to determine the appropriate risk treatment strategies and controls to implement to mitigate those risks.

Develop and implement security controls: Based on the results of the risk assessment, the organization should develop and implement appropriate security controls to protect its sensitive information. This includes physical, technical, and administrative controls.

Train and educate employees: Employees play a critical role in maintaining the security of the organization's sensitive information. It's essential to provide regular training and education to ensure that employees understand their responsibilities and are aware of the risks associated with handling sensitive data.

Conduct internal audits: Regular internal audits are an essential part of the ISO 27001 certification process. These audits help to ensure that the ISMS is being implemented effectively and that the security controls are working as intended.

Engage an accredited certification body: Finally, the organization should engage an accredited certification body to perform an independent assessment of the ISMS and verify that it meets the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard.
