THE EIGHT BENEFITS OF A CERTIFIED ISO 27001 INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
As an organisation, you can always choose to work in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard, but you can also choose to be certified by an independent party (such as a certification body). In practice, we see eight major benefits in choosing a certifiedISO 27001Information Security Management System:
- You have objective proof that your organisation attaches great importance to Information Security Management System and that you have it checked regularly by an independent party. This commitment increases confidence in your organisation.
- You achieve higher operating efficiency. Organisations that consider quality management to be an integral part of their business operations usually achieve a higher operating efficiency than those that do not.
