What’s New in ISO 27001?

Organizations collect, store, and use a lot of data nowadays for various operations. Data about the workplace, inventory, clients, trade secrets, and financial and communication records can be found in almost every organization. When organizations don’t keep this information safe, it can lead to data security breaches, which can be very expensive for an organization in terms of money as well as reputation. To deal with this problem, the International Standardization Organization (ISO) created ISO/IEC 27001 standard. What is ISO 27001 standard? ISO 27001 is a globally applicable standard for information security. It covers everything an organization needs to do to lower its information security risk. Information Security Management System (ISMS) is what ISO 27001 focuses on. ISMS is a systematic approach that includes people, processes, and technology that help you protect and manage all of your organization’s information security management. What’s new in ISO 27001?
