ISO 27001 | Information Security
What is ISO 27001?
As the internationally recognised standard for information security, ISO 27001 is used to ensure the safe management and storage of information. This includes securing information relating to the company’s assets such as financial information as well as intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted by third parties including customers.
Published by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization – a worldwide federation of national standards bodies), the ISO 27001 standard focuses on regulating and improving the processes you already have in place to ensure the confidential and secure storage of essential information and documents.
Experiencing a significant global growth rate of 20%, ISO 27001 certification is quickly becoming the information security management system standard for businesses and corporations across the world. So, why not join Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google and Amazon when you obtain your ISO 27001 certification with a helping hand from Candy Management Consultants?
In order for a business or corporation to achieve their ISO 27001 certification, they need to show a dedication to continual improvement involving planning, doing, checking and acting on any required improvements.

What are the principles of ISO 27001?
The ultimate aim of ISO 27001 is to help prevent companies from security incidents of all sizes due to the negative impact these incidents can have on both the businesses themselves and their customers. Underpinning this objective are a number of key principles including care, awareness, responsibility and management commitment.
Additional principles of ISO 27001 include defining and managing risk, continual improvement and the setting of certain values. These main principles can be found in all the same processes used to achieve other ISO certifications, so if you’ve already achieved your ISO 9001 certification, this process should feel very familiar.
Why is it important to regulate information security?
Nowadays, almost every business will be heavily (if not completely!) reliant on IT systems. Safeguarding technology used by a corporation and implementing a high standard of information security is therefore paramount to protecting both essential and confidential information.
This also helps to instil a sense of confidence in the business’ customers as companies collect and use their information. To discover more about the benefits of obtaining your ISO 27001 certification, we’ve listed all the advantages below.
