ISO/IEC 27001 is a highly recognized standard for managing information security, it provides a structured approach to securing sensitive data and ensures that the company or organization has strong security protocols and policies to protect their data.
ISO/IEC 27001 does not have its own specific levels of compliance, instead it is evaluated through a series of stages.
- Evaluates practices currently in use and detects what can be improved in the current security standards.
- Develops and puts in place the necessary policies, procedures, and controls to address identified gaps.
- Conducts internal audits to make sure the system is functioning as required and follows proper security guidelines.
- Undergoes an external audit by a certification body to verify compliance and obtain ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
