ISO 27001 is one of the most widely recognized information security standards. This internationally recognized standard outlines best practices for information security management systems (ISMS) and helps organizations protect their valuable data. Achieving ISO 27001 certification demonstrates a commitment to information security by verifying that an organization’s ISMS meets the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard, including the latest version, ISO 27001:2013. While not an exhaustive list, ISO 27001 covers a wide range of information security controls outlined within the broader family of ISO standards.
