ISO 27000 Information Security

Your challenge

In today’s technologically dependent world, the threat of information security breaches is growing. A single incident can destroy your company’s image, impact business continuity and revenues, and compromise your client base.

Large organisations have long been regular targets of attacks, but SMEs companies are increasingly at risk. As a result, you face more stringent regulation, and stakeholder expectations for data security are high. That is why more and more organisations are seeing the value of a structured approach to information security such as that provided by the ISO 27000 family of guidance and management systems for information security management.

How we support you

Implementing a management system protects the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your company’s information. It minimises the risk of breaches and ensures you comply with data protection legislation.

We can support you in learning how to implement the right management system for your business challenges and achieve certification.

We also offer blended-learning training to help you understand the importance of information security, how to respond with the necessary controls and how to protect data stored and managed by your organisation from dangerous security breaches.

ISO 27017: An international code of practice for cloud information security

Two-thirds of businesses report that they have functions and data hosted on cloud platforms, including commercially confidential data: the importance of clear ownership and responsibility for information and its security is paramount. The ISO 27017 certification reassures stakeholders that you are able to address the unique threats and complexities of cloud environments.

ISO 27018: Transparency in dealing with personally identifiable information

Today’s customers are increasingly concerned about information security and the potential for abuse of their sensitive personal information. ISO 27018 enables cloud services providers that process large amounts of personally identifiable information to provide transparency to their customers and demonstrate their responsible handling of personal data.

Cyber security certification

Cyber Essentials (CE) certification, in which organisations identify systems most at risk from low-skilled attackers and implement a set of controls to provide protection, is a prerequisite for UK government contract work. It enables you to demonstrate a certain level of cyber security at a low cost. Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) takes this to the next level with more sophisticated cyber security checks.

Other information technology schemes:

Technology companies might also be interested in a number of other specific certification schemes, such as the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Star certification, Datacentre Operations Standard or ISO 20000 Information Technology Service Management System.
