ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised Standard for Information Security which is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is designed to cover much more than just IT. An important part of the ISO 27001 Standard concerns data security across all areas of a business โ€“ whether itโ€™s online or offline. ISO 27001 certification is suitable for businesses of all sizes, from start-ups to larger organisations.
