ISO 27001

ISO/IEC 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognised standard for information security management. As with many other ISO management standards, ISO/IEC 27001 is suitable for businesses of all sizes. No matter the complexity of your operations, ISO/IEC 27001 will help you put cyber security into an actionable context for your organisation. ISO 27001 aims to protect information in all forms. The ISO 27001 standard requires organizations to assess the risks to their information assets and select appropriate security controls to mitigate those risks. ISO 27001 provides guidelines on how to implement the security controls listed in ISO 27001:2013. ISMS allows organizations to integrate requirements from multiple regulations (e.g., SOX, HIPAA) Into a single Information Security Management System (ISMS) and manage it as a single system. We at AIT systematically examine the organization's information security risks, taking account of the threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts. ISO 27001 has 14 groups, 114 Controls, 35 Control Objectives.

Improved data security

Establishing a comprehensive data security management system is the crux of what ISO/IEC 27001 does. As you bring your business up to speed with many legal and regulatory requirements for data management, you will better understand security landscapes and digital defence mechanisms.

Advanced strategies

By addressing your risks, security breaches can be mitigated. This will be achieved by mapping out achievable goals and objectives to define data security responsibilities for both leadership teams and staff. ISO/IEC 27001 certification will involve creating documents that can be both used as a guide for referrals and updates as long as your standard is valid.

Continuous improvement

A benefit of any ISO is the focus on continually bettering the way you work. This is particularly useful for ISO/IEC 27001 due to the ever-changing nature of cybersecurity. Through gaining this certification, you can be reassured that you have the capabilities and resources to tackle any incoming legal or technological updates and obligations.

Establishes trust

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international badge of quality and will automatically establish confidence in your clients and customers that your data security practices are world class and externally assured. It will help you win new business by keeping you ahead of other organisations that are not certified, opening you up to new industries and contacts.

Steps for getting ISO/IEC 27001 Certification

The process of getting ISO/IEC 27001 certified with AIT is a trouble-free step-by-step approach.

Understanding your business needs

We help you outline your goals, focusing on what your business wants to achieve and how it defies success, particularly in relation to your clients' requirements. Together, you and our ISO consultant will agree reasonable outcomes and delivery dates.

Creating ISO/IEC 27001 manual

Next, the AIT assessor will review your existing procedures and help you document the new systems (Manual). This documentation sets out how your business should operate going forward so that it can deliver ISO/IEC 27001.

Training

While the documentation is important moving forward, it is even more important that it is put to practical use. We work with the senior management team to ensure the framework is embedded throughout your organisation. We also develop and deliver tailored training for staff to ensure the understanding and implementation of ISO/IEC 27001. This will create consistency across your organisation, transforming your business from day one so it is protected against cyberattacks and fraud.

Audits ' Internal and External

Before you can be awarded the ISO/IEC 27001 certification, your organisation is submitted to the third-party certifying body. They engage the external auditor to review whether your business is conforming to ISO/IEC 27001. We will be there with you to ensure the successful outcome.

ISO/IEC 27001 Certification

Once confirmed that you are ISO/IEC 27001 compliant, your organisation will be presented with your certificate. This international certification will be recognised by current, potential, and future clients as a mark of information security excellence.
