ISO 27001 has been developed to help organizations of all sizes or functionalities protect their data in a systematic and cost-effective manner by adopting an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Not only does ISO 27001 provide organizations with the information they need to protect their critical information, but an organization can also obtain ISO 27001 certification, thereby demonstrating to its customers and partners that the organization's security is organized in a proper and systematic manner.
