Improved information security: Implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) helps organisations identify and manage risks to their information and operational assets, reducing the likelihood of data breaches, ransomware and other security incidents. This is imperative to protecting operations and avoiding unplanned downtime, costing up to $5,600 a minute.
Compliance with regulations: Compliance with ISO 27001 helps organisations meet legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements related to data protection and information security. Regulations vary from sector to sector, but ISO 27001 is designed to be as specific or generalist as it needs to be.
Trust and confidence: Accreditation demonstrates that an organisation takes information security seriously and has implemented a robust system to protect sensitive data. This helps organisations build trust with clients, customers and regulatory organisations such as the FCA and ICO.
Competitive advantage: ISO 27001 accreditation can differentiate an organisation from competitors, increasing business opportunities. There may be situations where businesses are asked whether they hold ISO 27001 accreditation – and having to decline could cost clients and customers.
Streamlined processes: Implementing an ISMS can lead to more efficient and effective processes. The process of accreditation unlocks tangible business value beyond accreditation itself.
