ISO 27001 is an international standard protocol for information security management systems (ISMS), and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information and ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Auditors can award ISO 27001 certificates in North America. ISO 27001 auditing organizations are accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board. These are globally used certificates that build the required assurance among businesses.
In essence, ISO 27001 is not just a certification; it is a strategic tool that enables organizations to proactively manage information security risks, build trust, and position themselves as secure and reliable entities in an interconnected and information-driven world.
