ISO/IEC 27001: Information Security Management System Certification


Origin


ISO/IEC 27001 was developed jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), first published in 2005 and most recently updated in 2022. It evolved from the British Standard BS 7799, which was created in the 1990s by the UK government and industry experts to address growing information security concerns. The standard was developed to provide organizations with a systematic framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS), helping them protect sensitive data in an increasingly digital business environment.


Industry Value and Importance


ISO/IEC 27001 is globally recognized as the gold standard for information security management, valued because it demonstrates an organization's commitment to protecting confidential information through risk-based controls and continuous improvement. The certification is particularly important for organizations handling sensitive data, as it helps them comply with legal and regulatory requirements, win contracts (especially with government entities and large enterprises), and build customer trust. Many industries require or strongly prefer vendors with ISO 27001 certification, as it provides independent verification that appropriate security controls are in place, reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring business continuity in the face of evolving cybersecurity threats.
