ISO 27001 – Global Certification Indonesia

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is a specification for the management of information security. It is applicable to all sectors of industry and not confined to just information held on computers. Information may be printed or written on paper, stored electronically, transmitted by post or email, shown on films, or spoken in conversation. Whatever the media the information takes, or means by which it is shared or stored, the ISO 27001 standard assists in providing a system approach an organisation ensure it is always appropriately protected.

Information security can be characterised as:

Confidentiality, ensuring that access to information is appropriately authorised
Integrity, safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods
Availability, ensuring that authorized users have access to information when they need it

Why apply for ISO 27001 certification?
