IT Companies Keep Information Assets Secure With ISO 27001 Certification
Use ISO certification to reduce information security costs and win both the confidence and trust of customers, assuring them that their IT systems and data are safe with you. Digital transformation continues to shape the information technology industry, its workforce, and its business models, quickly. This is both exciting and trying, and organisations who choose to gain ISO 27001 certification are best positioned for growth.
Demonstrate how you are increasing your resilience to cyber attacks, adapting to evolving security threats and securing data by implementing an ISO 27001 compliant Information security management system (ISMS). This will reduce costs associated with information security and enhance your organisation’s reputation by taking a proactive approach to managing your IT assets – and your clients’.

ISO 27001 For Companies In The IT Sector
When it comes to ISO Certification for organisations in the IT Sector, the most suitable certification to choose is ISO 27001. ISO 27001 is recognised globally as a benchmark for good security practice and defines the requirements of an information security management system (ISMS). ISMS is a set of policies, procedures, processes and systems that manage information risks, such as cyber-attacks, hacks, data leaks or theft, helping you to reassure your customers that you have the processes in place to protect their information.
Having these processes in place helps you minimise the risk of data breach for your organisation and for your customers. ISO 27001 consists of 10 management system clauses and 114 controls (from Annex A) and that together support the implementation and maintenance of an ISMS.
