Why is ISO 27001 vital for your business?

What would we do without computers?  Letters, e-mail, Internet, Skype, databases, Customer Management Systems, photos, PPPs...  The list goes on.  All of these programmes and applications manage data and information of some sort, be it personal, company, or client related.

In today's competitive marketplace this information is very valuable, both to you and to your rivals.

However, your information is continuously open to threats from many sources.  For example,

• Faulty hardware, buggy software or computer viruses can corrupt information or make it unusable.
• Fire or flood can destroy the computers that store information.
• Hackers or unscrupulous employees can steal information.

As many high-profile cases have shown, loss of information can ruin a business, or severely compromise its reputation.

Clearly, without well-defined policies and procedures for managing the security and integrity of your essential business information, your business is wide open to unacceptable risks.

The Answer is ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) from UKICM

Adopted in 1998, ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard setting out the requirements for an organisation's ISMS.  Choosing ISO 27001 as your company's ISMS will give you the tools you need to ensure the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the information that is vital to your business.

Furthermore, ISO 27001 Certification will demonstrate to your clients that you take information security seriously and take great steps to deliver your services professionally and securely.  This can give you a considerable competitive edge over competitors who cannot demonstrate a similar professional attitude.
