What is ISO27001?
ISO27001 is an accepted international Information Security Governance standard that tells your customer that you have taken the right steps to protect your data and their information.
It gives Assurance that you are managing your data and systems to best practice standards and that Assurance is assessed annually.
Information Security through ISO27001 is a strategic approach that establishes a baseline for information security and through regular audits, confirms your commitment to the management of Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) of data.
Why certify to ISO27001?
It delivers tangible benefits to you as you stand out from the crowd who cannot demonstrate their commitment to their customers in protecting their information.
It allows you to quantify and measure your Information Security performance and highlight where your weaknesses are.
Through this view, you are able to better manage your costs, reduce wastage and focus on the important aspects of information security.
ISO27001 also delivers a level of confidence that you are protected internally and externally from data breaches.
What does it Cost?
Implementing the ISO27001 framework depends upon your organisation and what it does. Some of the ISO27001 framework may not be applicable and other areas need to be focused on.
At Cemax we have adopted a supervisory approach where we act as a mentor in preparing your organisation in for ISO27001 guiding you through the maze of controls.
To assist, we have a 4 stage methodology which delivers tangibles in preparation for an Audit. At the end of each stage, you are assured of the progress and the road ahead and you can decide what you want to take on and what you want assistance with. Staging allows control over cash flow to match your income.
Information Security Vs Cyber Security
Didn’t know there was a difference?
Information Security is a strategic approach from the top down starting with how you manage and control your data focusing on Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability.
Cyber Security is a tactical approach about how you execute the protection using technology to provide the protection such as firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems, Anti-Virus applications and so on.
Doing one without the other still leaves you vulnerable.
Cyber Security Architecture Service
You have Cyber applications doing various jobs and you don’t know if they are doing the right job or if some are redundant and overlap in what they do.
The vendors tell you that you are alright and there’s nothing to fear. Your boss is asking why the expenditure is so high and when is it going to stop?
At Cemax we have qualified systems Architects that can assess your systems and infrastructure to give you a view on where you are at and where you should be spending less to achieve more. Or better still, get more out of what you already have.
