Frequently Asked Questions

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is an international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing and protecting sensitive company information using a risk management process. The standard encompasses both technological solutions and company processes and practices.

ISO 27001 is like a recipe for keeping your company’s information safe. It gives you guidelines on the necessary ingredients (controls and measures) and the steps to follow, ensuring that your information remains confidential, available, and intact.

The ISO 27001 checklist refers to a list of items that are essential for an organization to address to be compliant with the standard. It often includes:

  • The necessary policies, processes, and procedures related to information security.
  • Risk assessment and risk treatment plans.
  • An inventory of information assets and their classification.
  • Implementation of relevant security controls.
  • Training and awareness programs.
  • Internal audits, management reviews, and continuous improvement actions.
  • Incident management processes.

The key elements of ISO 27001 include:

  • Scope of the ISMS: Defines which parts of the organization are covered.
  • Information security policy: The high-level approach to information security.
  • Risk assessment and risk treatment: Identifying and addressing threats and vulnerabilities.
  • Statement of Applicability (SoA): Lists the controls chosen to address risks and states why they’re relevant.
  • Information security objectives: Setting clear goals for the ISMS.
  • Security controls: Measures put in place to mitigate risks.
  • Monitoring and measuring: Ensuring controls are effective.
  • Internal audits and management reviews: Checking the ISMS’s effectiveness and driving improvement.
  • Continuous improvement: Regularly updating and enhancing the ISMS.
