Print this page

 

 

Information security today is high on the Board agenda. External and internal threats and legal, regulatory & contractual compliance requirements are all combining to make effective information security a key 21st century management challenge.

ISO27001 is a structured, technology-neutral, vendor-agnostic specification and code of practice for information security management in organisations of all sizes. It should be adopted by an organisation as part of their overall risk management strategy.

 

Companies achieving ISO27001 certification and compliance report achieving significant competitive advantage. Take-up of ISO27001 is rapidly accelerating across all sectors, so don’t let your organisation get left behind.

 

‘A good introduction to an important subject that affects all of us and that is becoming more important in today’s shrinking world. Sensible, pragmatic and value-adding!’

Howard Overy, Head of IT Performance, BAA Plc
