Attract New Customers, Reduce Risk, and Improve Data Security with ISO 27001
ISO 27001 certification is an information security management system (ISMS) that helps companies attract new customers, reduce risk and improve data security. ISO 27001 certification demonstrates to your customers, prospects, vendors, partners and employees your serious commitment to information security.
ISO 27001 certification requires company management to demonstrate that they have:
- Examined the organization’s information security risks systematically, including potential threats, vulnerabilities and consequences.
- Deployed a comprehensive suite of information security controls for the organization’s information systems.
- Built a management process to ensure that the information security controls will continue to meet the organization’s security needs.
Why Your Company Should Be Certified
There are important business reasons why ISO 27001 certification is essential for your organization. Here is a closer look at why:
- Meet Regulatory Mandates. Many companies and subcontractors that do business with the government are required to have a verified ISMS that is subject to independent audit. The ISO 27001 certification is an internationally recognized affirmation.
- Attract New Customers. Many clients require that their business partners have clearly defined and audited security processes. This fundamental business requirement gives your company access to more potential customers and markets.
- Achieve Operational Security. A key component of ISO 27001 certification is reducing risk in business processes to achieve targeted security objectives. The data collected on processes and outcomes is analyzed to understand required adjustments in procedures.
- Create a More Secure Business Culture. Make Security a theme around employee communications. Develop clear expectations about security objectives. Security standards can bring management and employees together around common goals, objectives, metrics and procedures.
- Comply with Multiple Security Standards. ISO 27001 is the foundation of your business security management system. It can simplify compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI. It also maps well to NIST and HITRUST.
