INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

How to protect Information Security with ISO 27001?

In the past, the importance of Information Security was recognized only in relation to the protection of accounting and financial data. Today, market globalization and free trade have increased sensitivity towards Information Security, including from national legislations. Organizations can protect themselves from potential threats to the security of the information they manage by developing an Information Security Management System (ISMS), in accordance with ISO 27001, and requesting an independent certification audit.
From data loss to unauthorized access, from virus attacks to electronic commerce, from computer piracy to disaster recovery, ISO 27001 allows for careful evaluation of all business risks and the different types of information managed, highlighting areas where improvement is needed. Information protection consists of ensuring, through controlled management of business processes, the desired levels of:

  • Confidentiality
    Protecting information from unauthorized access;
  • Integrity
    Safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information;
  • Accessibility
    Ensuring that data and information are accessible when required.

The ISO 27001 Standard, for which Bureau Veritas Certification boasts particular experience and expertise as an accredited Certification Body, provides for a complete review of all aspects concerning the security of company information.
