ISO-27001 is an international standard for information security management. It documents best practices to help organizations manage their information security program, looking at people, processes and technology.
Organizations being certified with ISO-27001 is an indicator that their security program is in line with these best practices and are recognized worldwide by regulators, customers, auditors, partners and other business stakeholders. Certification to this standard is a proof that organizations take data security seriously, but the road to certification is difficult and you need a help from experts, to evaluate your compliance priorities.
