What is the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification?

ISO/IEC 27001:2013, previously the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 ISMS, is an internationally-recognized standard for information security frameworks. It doesn’t favor one vendor or technology over the others and doesn’t focus only on a specific industry. This makes it the perfect framework for any organization to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their information security program in order to be safe from cyber-attacks.

There are a few key elements to the ISO/IEC 27001 framework, and they include:

Information security management system.

This is the set of policies, procedures, and standards an organization uses to maintain a safe environment from cyber-attacks. It includes information security risk assessment, awareness training, incident response and management.

Information security control.

These are the processes and controls used by the organization to mitigate threats against its information assets. They include physical security controls such as encryption of company data, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems; as well as technical controls such as user authentication, access control lists (ACLs) and role-based access control (RBAC).

Information assurance.

This is the goal of all security efforts – to ensure business assets are protected from cyber-attacks while at the same time providing a secure network environment for employees to work in. It starts with the development of information security policies and procedures designed to protect organizational data and information assets from loss or unauthorized use or disclosure. It also involves ensuring appropriate technical controls exist within an organization’s information technology environment to protect data and information systems.

Information privacy.

This is the right of an individual or organization to control how personal data is used, disclosed, processed, and stored by other organizations. It includes ensuring personal data is only collected for specified purposes and that individuals have a right to access and correct their personal information and have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the use of their personal data by organizations.

Why is it important to have an ISO/IEC 27001 certified MSSP?

A certified MSSP is like an insurance policy that protects your organization from data loss and breaches. By partnering with a certified MSSP, you can be assured any security incident or breach will be responded to quickly, reported to the proper authorities immediately, and you will recover from the event swiftly. Additionally, it ensures better protection for your business-critical data.

An ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified MSSP can help organizations achieve security, compliance, and governance across the entire lifecycle of an information system, meaning the MSSP’s role extends beyond the initial setup and maintenance of an information system. It is a comprehensive management program that protects data, processes, and technologies throughout the organization.

What are the benefits of an ISO/IEC 27001 certified MSSP for your business?

The benefits of an ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified MSSP are many. Here are a few:

  • Improved security: An ISO 27001 certified MSSP can help you effectively manage your information systems and protect information assets.
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements: The compliance of your organization's information systems with regulatory requirements is an important part of ensuring compliance with legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and other regulations. An ISO 27001 certified MSSP provides evidence that your organization complies with these requirements and offers assurance that management systems are in place to ensure the ongoing support of the organization's regulatory obligations.
  • Risk management: A well-managed information system is the foundation of any successful business. An ISO 27001 certified MSSP can provide your company with the processes and procedures that help ensure you are managing your information systems effectively, reducing your overall risk.
  • Business continuity: Information technology is a critical element in business operations, so it should be protected and backed up in case of a disaster or outage. As such, having an ISO 27001 certified MSSP, like BCS365, can make sure these critical systems are backed up and running at all times.
  • Training: An ISO 27001 certified MSSP can offer training modules to help educate employees about how to manage their personal devices and bring them into compliance with security standards when using them for work purposes. This will help ensure employees do not end up using their personal devices for sensitive work-related activities, thereby reducing the risk of a data breach if they are lost or stolen.
