What is ISO/IEC 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is the global standard for building and maintaining an ISMS (information security management system). It provides a comprehensive framework for managing risk, protecting sensitive data, and demonstrating security maturity to customers, partners, and regulators.  With increased focus on malware prevention, access control, secure file handling, and audit readiness, achieving compliance requires a multi-layered, strategic approach—supported by both people and technology.
