ISO/IEC 27001:2013 INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 specifies the necessities for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and constantly improving an information security management system (ISMS) for any organization, regardless of type or size. In today’s worldwide economy, every business must have a system in place to maintain the discretion, integrity, and availability of information. This will include a company’s own information as well as client information and other interested parties. In a progressively more interconnected world, the wisdom of doing this cannot be overestimated.
ISO/IEC 27001 offers a model to establish, implement, maintain and constantly progress risk-managed ISMS. The design and accomplishment of the management system is tailored to the organization’s objectives, information assets, operational procedure and governing legal and regulatory security needs.
