Certification
ISO 27001 information security management system (ISMS) is an international standard or framework for organisations to use to manage and protect their information.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre receives a report of a cyber- attack approximately every six minutes, with the rate and severity of reports increasing every year. The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) also highlighted the average cost of cybercrime per report is up 14 per cent year on year putting a huge strain on operations for every organisation.
Unsurprisingly, an increasing number of business leaders feel their organisations are at greater risk from malicious cyber actors and are struggling to protect their sensitive information. This in turn disrupts business continuity, causes financial losses and reputation damage.
When you break it down, 95% of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error of some sort. While you can never guarantee that your organisation won’t fall victim to a cyberattack, having a robust
system in place for the management of information will help significantly lower these risks.
ISO 27001 is the only auditable international standard that defines the requirements of an information security management system. There are numerous organisational benefits to implementing this standard which act as a framework for managing information security risks, such as cyber attacks, hacks, data leaks or theft.
