About ISO 27001
ISO 27001 is the industry standard for information security management systems (ISMS). The standard was published in October 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electro-technical Commission. It replaced BS 7799-2:2002, which has now been withdrawn. Organizations can seek independent certification from ISO for their frameworks to design, implement, manage, maintain and enforce information security processes and controls systematically and consistently. ISO 27001 is the only international standard indicating that an organization has received a truly independent assessment of its ISMS.
