ISO 27001 is the world's first international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) which allows organizations to demonstrate their commitment to information security and follow best practices in managing sensitive data. Released in 2005 and updated in 2013, ISO 27001 is based on the risk management framework and focuses on protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. The standard is designed for any organization, large or small, that handles sensitive data, whether it's for external clients or internal use. Certification by a third-party registrar demonstrates that an organization's ISMS complies with ISO 27001 requirements and best practices.
ISO 27001 provides a formal framework for managing information security risks, including planning, implementing security measures, and ensuring that all processes related to data protection are properly managed. It involves key areas such as risk assessment, incident response, and continuous improvement of information security practices.
