What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an internationally acclaimed framework for information security management. ISO 27001 is applicable to all sectors of industry and commerce and addresses the security of information in whatever form it is held.

- Confidentiality – ensuring that access to information is appropriately authorized
- Integrity – safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods
- Availability – ensuring authorized users have access to information when required
