It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring it remains secure against potential risks, including cyber threats, data breaches and unauthorised access.

Achieving ISO 27001 certification is a rigorous process that requires organisations to identify potential security risks, implement a robust framework of controls and undergo an independent audit to verify compliance.
