ISO 27001

ISO 27001: Information Security Management Certification


Origin


ISO 27001 was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and was first published in 2005. It evolved from the British Standard BS 7799-2, which was created in the late 1990s. The standard was developed in response to the growing need for organizations to systematically manage and protect sensitive information in an increasingly digital business environment. ISO 27001 has since been revised, with major updates released in 2013 and 2022 to address evolving cybersecurity threats and best practices.


Industry Value and Importance


ISO 27001 is globally recognized as the leading standard for information security management systems (ISMS) and is valued for providing a systematic, risk-based approach to protecting sensitive data. Organizations that achieve ISO 27001 certification demonstrate to clients, partners, and regulators that they have implemented comprehensive security controls and are committed to maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. The certification is particularly important for organizations handling sensitive data, as it helps meet regulatory compliance requirements, reduces security incidents, builds customer trust, and often provides a competitive advantage in procurement processes where information security assurance is required.

Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials Certification


Origin


Cyber Essentials was created by the UK Government in 2014 in collaboration with industry experts and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The scheme was developed in response to the growing threat of cybercrime and the recognition that many cyber attacks could be prevented through basic security controls. It was designed to help organizations of all sizes protect themselves against common internet-based threats and establish a baseline of cybersecurity hygiene.


Industry Value and Importance


Cyber Essentials is highly valued in both public and private sectors as it demonstrates an organization's commitment to cybersecurity. UK government contracts involving handling of sensitive and personal information require Cyber Essentials certification as a mandatory prerequisite. Beyond compliance, the certification helps organizations reduce their vulnerability to approximately 80% of common cyber attacks, provides insurance benefits with some providers offering premium reductions, and serves as a trust signal to customers and partners. Many businesses also require their suppliers to hold the certification as part of their supply chain security requirements, making it increasingly important for maintaining competitive advantage in the marketplace.
