The international standard ISO 27001:2013 governs information security management systems (ISMS). It applies to any business or client information that could be misused, corrupted, or lost, resulting in a huge commercial disaster. As a result, 27001 specifies the information security management system’s requirements. It is part of the ISO 27000 family of information and cyber security standards, and it provides a complete set of controls based on industry best practices.

Advantages of ISO 27001 certification

Although many organizations use ISO 27001:2013 as a framework for information security best practice, organizations may prefer not to get certified, or postpone the certification process. There are, however, numerous benefits to achieving certification. Many organizations opt for certification because of the client or contractual requirements.
