10 Common Misconceptions About ISO 27001

Despite the heavy rain this morning, attending an educational breakfast presentation hosted by Lloyd’s Register together with Privasec was a great way to start the day! It was quite enjoyable hearing from our very own Dr. Ignatius Swart as he demystified ISO 27001:2013, discussed common misconceptions, and explained what is really required for businesses to obtain certification. He was such a natural, having previously been invited to speak many times at huge conferences attended by ministers, defence and government bodies.

Part 1: EU GDPR, the Privacy Amendment (NDB) and ISO 27001:2013

Early last March at the ‘Data Privacy Matters’ meetup, I had the privilege of moderating a panel segment addressing the NDB Amendment & GDPR’s Impact on Australian Businesses. The panellists were Patrick Gunning, (Law Partner from King & Wood Mallesons), Fergus Brooks, (Cyber Risk National Practice Leader, at Aon Australia) and Romain Rallu, (CEO at Privasec, an independent Security firm). We spent the night discussing the applicability of the Privacy Act, being prepared for this new privacy legislation, the ramifications of ignoring the them, and exploring what is covered by insurance when it comes to Data Breaches.

ISO 27001:2013 is one of the most widely recognized and internationally accepted information security standards. It identifies requirements for a comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS), and defines how organizations should manage and handle information in a secure manner, including appropriate security controls and establishes requirements for information controls to manage people, processes and technology.
