ISO 27001 Foundation Training

The ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards helps organizations keep information assets secure. Using this family of standards will help your organization manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted to you by third parties.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the best-known standard in the family providing requirements for an information security management system (ISMS).

What is an ISMS? An ISMS is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. It includes people, processes and IT systems by applying a risk management process.

It can help small, medium and large businesses in any sector keep information assets secure.

Certification Certified compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 by an accredited and respected certification body is mandatory for some of business types in the Republic of Indonesia, while for some others are optional but is increasingly being demanded from suppliers and business partners by organizations that are (quite rightly!) concerned about the security of their information, and about information security throughout the supply chain or network.

Certification brings a number of benefits above and beyond mere compliance, in much the same way that an ISO 9000-series certificate says more than just “We are a quality organization”. Independent assessment necessarily brings some rigor and formality to the implementation process (implying improvements to information security and all the benefits that brings through risk reduction), and invariably requires senior management approval (which is an advantage in security awareness terms, at least!).

The certificate has marketing potential and demonstrates that the organization takes information security management seriously.

Some organizations choose to implement the standard in order to benefit from the best practice it contains while others decide they also want to get certified to reassure customers and clients that its recommendations have been followed.

Many organizations around the world are more and more getting certified to ISO/IEC 27001.
