Organizing your data & information securely and managing risk

ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security and is the basis for protecting confidential information within your organization. This standard contains a set of requirements focused on the availability, integrity and confidentiality (BIV) of information. It provides a structured approach to managing and securing business sensitive data, both internally and externally.

‍

In addition to ISO 27001, there is also ISO 27002, an additional guideline that provides best practices for applying the ISO 27001 standard. The difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 is mainly in the nature of the documents: ISO 27001 is mandatory for certification, while ISO 27002 serves as a guide for implementation.

‍

ISO 27001 helps your organization develop a proactive approach to protecting information. Consider internal and external threats, both physical and online. In addition, ISO 27001 provides the following benefits:

• Protection against incidents, such as a data breach
• Tender benefits
• Show customers and suppliers that your organization takes information security seriously
• Voldoen aan wet- en regelgeving, zoals de AVG
• Understanding and controlling security risks

‍

ISO 27001 is in veel gevallen verplicht of wordt sterk aanbevolen, vooral bij overheidsaanbestedingen en samenwerkingen met grote partijen. Het helpt om de bedrijfsprocessen rond informatiebeveiliging te stroomlijnen en risico’s beheersbaar te maken. Net zoals bij ISO 9001, de norm voor kwaliteitsmanagement, toont ISO 27001 aan dat je organisatie voldoet aan strenge internationale standaarden.
