Who Should Implement ISO 27001?​

ISO 27001, the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), is essential for organisations of all sizes and industries that handle sensitive information. This includes businesses, government agencies, non-profit organisations, and service providers that store, process, or transmit data, such as customer information, intellectual property, financial records, or employee data. ISO 27001 helps organisations protect their assets, maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, comply with regulatory requirements, and build trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.

The Three Principles of Information Security in ISO 27001

1. Confidentiality

Confidentiality ensures that information is accessible only to authorised individuals or entities. This means implementing measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, or exposure of sensitive information. Examples of confidentiality controls include access controls, encryption, and data classification to restrict access based on the sensitivity of the information.

2. Integrity

Integrity ensures that information is accurate, complete, and reliable throughout its lifecycle. This principle involves safeguarding data from unauthorised modification, deletion, or corruption. Measures to uphold integrity include data validation checks, version control, digital signatures, and audit trails to track changes and detect unauthorised alterations.

3. Availability

Availability ensures that information and information systems are accessible and usable when needed by authorised users. It encompasses implementing measures to prevent and mitigate disruptions to information systems, such as downtime, outages, or denial-of-service attacks. Controls to ensure availability include redundancy, backups, disaster recovery plans, and resilient infrastructure to maintain continuous operations and minimise downtime.

FAQs

ISMS stands for “Information Security Management System” which is the title of the ISO 27001 standard. ISO 27001 is made of a set of clauses to provide guidance on the creation or a best practice ISMS system to manage security risks and drive improvements in a company’s security posture.

In annexure A of ISO 27001 a list of common security controls (Security Policy framework, HR security, physical security, network security, etc.) are listed and used to effectively assess all aspects of an organisation.

Security Officers commonly mistake annexure controls with the ISO 27001 standard clauses, thus thinking that certification is near impossible for their companies. The ISO 27001 certification recognises the ability for an organisation to manage their security risks and certification is not dependent on all annexure controls being implemented and matured.

Given our experience, ISMSs are an invaluable tool to secure a repeatable flow of risk-based security investment from the business. Since ISO 27001 requires security risks to be formally owned by business/ executives the sole accountability for security is moved out of the IT department and shared with businesses.

Privasec has a very hands on approach and will build the entire ISMS for you. Limited but regular input will however be required from the management team. The risk assessment process is a one-time impact on operational staff and requires between 30-120 minutes of their time depending on their specific role.

SAI Global, BSI or Lloyd's are certification bodies. They conduct the final certification audits, therefore cannot consult and help you with the establishment of your ISMS.


Privasec is not a certification body and therefore cannot certify organisations or businesses. Your Privasec consultant will however act on your behalf at the audit and guide the primary auditee during the certification audit.

Privasec is an independent firm, not a technology integrator and does not partner with any vendors. Privasec does not mitigate risk on behalf of clients. Our aim is to assist our clients through the remediation process and advise on suitable options and technologies where required. We may be able, at the request of clients, to carry out work if it falls within our service offering.
