Organizations are becoming more and more dependent on external service providers for their daily operation. Think about:
Cloud services
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Hosting services
Telecom, VOIP and videoconferencing
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Network architecture and maintenance
Co-location
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
In some industries, such as healthcare, some of these services can be mission critical.
Advantages of ISO 27001 certification
Over the last decade, ISO 27001 has evolved into a globally recognized standard for information security. It contains the requirements for implementing an information security management system (ISMS in short).
ISO 27001 compliance is often required during (government) tenders and procurement. Furthermore, ISO 27001 certification helps to build stakeholder trust.
Industry specific standards
Depending on the markets in which you are active, you may be required to implement or even certify to additional standards, such as:
Implementing ISO 27001 can seem a daunting task at first. The ISO documentation is very generic and does not provide guidelines or implementation examples.
