With cybersecurity threats becoming more complex every day, there has never been a more stringent need for robust data protection. One term that’s frequently mentioned in these discussions is ISO27001 certification. But what does it mean? And why should it matter to you?

What Exactly is ISO27001 Certification?

ISO27001—it sounds like a complex code, doesn’t it? It isn’t, actually. This international standard simply refers to Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Think of it as a “seal of approval” that attests to a company’s system of managing risks related to data security.

When a company displays an ISO27001 badge, it’s making a statement. It says that it has met the rigorous requirements of this standard. It also means that it’s committed to upholding the highest standards of information security, data protection, and compliance with legal and regulatory norms.
