What Is ISO 27001 Certification and Why Is It Important?

The International Organization for Standardization

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the world’s largest developer of voluntary International Standards. Their standards offer solutions and best practice for almost all types of technology and business, helping companies and organizations to increase performance while protecting consumers and the planet.

ISO was developed through global consensus, and its standards aim to break down barriers to international trade. Some well-known standards include ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 27001 (information security management).

Why should you get an ISO 27001 certification?

Gaining an ISO 27001 certification can be a useful tool to add credibility by demonstrating that your product or service meets the information security expectations of your customers. And for some industries, certification may be a legal or contractual requirement.
