But what is ISO 27001?

How does ISO 27001 benefit me and my business?

By achieving this certification, we’ve strengthened our data protection measures, minimizing the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks. We’ve also implemented a structured approach to information security, which includes:

Data Security

  • Customer Data Protection: Strict controls around access, storage, and transmission of customer data. This includes marketing automation platforms, lead capture forms, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
  • Employee Training: Regular training for staff on data security best practices, including phishing awareness and password hygiene.
  • Incident Response Plan: A documented plan for identifying, reporting, and containing data security incidents.

Access Control

  • Access Management System: Limiting access to sensitive information and systems based on the principle of least privilege. This may involve multi-factor authentication and role-based access controls.
  • Physical Security: Securing physical access to data centers, servers, and workstations to prevent unauthorized access.

Vulnerability Management:

  • Regular Security Assessments: Regularly scanning systems and applications for vulnerabilities and patching them promptly.
  • Secure Software Development: Implementing secure coding practices and secure development lifecycles.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR):

  • Business Continuity Plan: A documented plan for maintaining critical business operations in the event of a disaster or disruption.
  • Data Backups: Regular backups of data stored on servers and workstations to ensure recovery in case of a system failure.

This certification not only enhances our security but also demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding your information – you can rest assured that your data is protected.
