ISO 27001 is the international standard that helps organisations keep information assets secure, by describing best practice for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). An accredited certificate from Socotec Certification International will help your organisation manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted to you by third parties. It will also inform your customers that your organisation has defined and implemented effective information security processes; winning their confidence and helping you create a trusting relationship.

An ISMS is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. It includes processes, people, and IT systems by applying a risk management process.
