What is ISO 27001?

The ISO 27001:2022 standard (formerly known as ISO/IEC 27001:2013) provides a framework for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that ensures the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, as well as compliance with legal requirements. ISO 27001 certification is essential for protecting your most important assets.

Implementing ISO 27001 is the ideal response to customer demands, legal requirements (such as the Personal Data Protection Act) and potential security threats, including:

Computer crimes
Personal data breach
Vandalism / Terrorism
Fire / damage
Abuse
Theft
Virus attacks

The ISO 27001 standard is structured to be compatible with other management system standards, such as ISO 9001, and it is technologically and commercially neutral, meaning it does not depend on any IT platform. Therefore, all members of the company must be trained on what this standard means and how it is applied within the organization.

GDPR and ISO 27001

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has a much broader scope than the previous Data Protection Act (DPA) and was introduced to keep up with the modern digital landscape. The regulation grants more data rights to individuals and requires organizations to develop certain policies, procedures and adopt appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data.

The GDPR applies to two types of users; Controllers and Processors. In short; the controller determines how and why personal data is used or processed, and the processor acts on behalf of the controller, similar to many organisations relying on the services of an IT service provider. Processors have more legal obligations in the event of a breach, but the controller will be responsible for ensuring that contracts with the processor comply with the GDPR.

This is not a complete overview of the new regulation and should not be used as such. Article 42 of the GDPR provides details demonstrating compliance with the regulation through; „Data protection certification processes“. Information security management systems compliant with ISO 27001 are a risk-based approach that addresses specific security threats faced by an organization, taking into account – people, processes and technology.
