The increasing malicious attacks on data security is pushing organisations to seek out suppliers that are able to demonstrate a systematic and comprehensive approach to the management of information security. These assets include financial information, intellectual property, information entrusted by third parties. Moreover the risk management process aims to secure information on employees, stakeholders, processes and IT systems.

​

ISO 27001:2013 Information Security Management Systems is the standard that is becoming increasingly essential for organisations that manage sensitive data on behalf of their customers. This certification will benefit and reinforce the protection of information assets, your reputation, aligns with business risk, and provide confidence to your clients.

​

An effective ISMS will be able to identify risks by means of a systematic process to better facilitate the management and control of human and technology factors, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and usability. It should be easily consolidated into the operational planning and service delivery management, methodically identifying, assessing, evaluating and controlling future information security risks, including business continuity risks. Effective implementation and operation of the ISMS in achieving its objectives include physical and IT infrastructure, and the competencies required by workers to perform. A selection, induction, management and review of all external suppliers, including contractors, needs to take place, as well as active monitoring to assess effectiveness. Thorough incident investigation processes including escalation reporting is also essential.
