A Comprehensive Standard for Managing Information and Cyber Security Risks
If you’re looking to protect your organisation from cyber threats, ISO/IEC 27001 (ISO 27001) is the international standard you need. While widely known for its information security framework, ISO 27001 also includes essential requirements for cyber security and privacy protection, making it a comprehensive solution.
Why ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 sets out the requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS), which helps manage risks to sensitive information, including:
- Cyber Security: Encryption, access control, secure networks, and incident response.
- Privacy Protection: Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
- Risk Management: Identifying, assessing, and addressing security vulnerabilities.
ATOL are launching specialised courses in ISO 27001 Information Security Management Systems, equipping organisations with the skills to implement and maintain strong information security practices in line with international standards.
Related Standards: Guidance vs. Certification
Cyber security focuses on defending digital assets against threats. While ISO 27001 is the only certifiable standard, other standards provide valuable guidance:
- ISO/IEC 27002: Offers best practices for implementing security controls.
- ISO/IEC 27032: Cyber security guidelines.
- ISO/IEC 27033: Network security controls guidance.
- ISO/IEC 27701: Extends ISO 27001 for privacy information management.
- ISO/IEC 30111: Offers guidelines for the vulnerability handling processes.
These standards complement ISO 27001, working together to create a secure environment for online and network-based assets.
