ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for Information Security which is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The standard provides the framework for an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS).
It sets out the policies and procedures needed to protect organisations and includes all the risk controls (legal, physical and technical) necessary for robust IT security management. ISO 27001 is designed to cover much more than just IT. An important part of the Standard concerns data security across all areas of a business; whether it is online or offline.
The benefits for achieving ISO27001 are:

- It keeps confidential information secure by putting in place robust security policies and access management, allowing for the secure exchange of information.
- Risk management: The Standard manages and minimises risk exposure, providing customers and stakeholders with confidence in how we manage risk.
