What is ISO 27001 certification?

Officially known as the ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management standard, it details the requirements for businesses to securely manage information assets and data to an internationally recognised standard. It provides a robust approach for managing assets such as customer and employee details, intellectual property, financial information and third-party data.

ISO 27001 requires that organisations assess information security risks, put in place robust security controls and processes, and embed information security management across the organisation. The standard is suitable for all organisations that collect and process data – including SME, corporate and non-profit businesses.

What are the benefits of completing multiple certifications at the same time?

1. Improve efficiency

There is one management system. If you’re implementing one standard, the process of the second is more streamlined.

2. Reduce time on site

The information for each standard can overlap. Your Auditor can review duplicate processes, reducing time spent with your organisation.

3. Keep costs down

It can be more cost effective to integrate a second certification at the same time because of the commonality across the standards.
