Information Security

ISO 27001 helps organisations to keep secure both their information assets and those of their customers.
Organisations of all types and sizes collect, process, store and transmit information in many forms. This information is valuable to an organisation’s business and operations. ISO 27001:2013 is a well-respected international information security standard that outlines the key processes and approaches a business needs to manage information security risk in a practical way.

Why do we need ISO 27001?

Information security is a business problem, not an IT problem. Risk-based approaches are vital for modern information security effectiveness.
There are many ways to achieve security risk management, and a good standard like ISO 27001 puts formalities in place to ensure the right thought processes are followed and captured when the inevitable breach is realised.

Businesses that integrate cyber-security with digital strategies will be better poised to build trust in everything they do and transform faster.

What value does ISO 27001 certification add to a business?

Certification is fundamentally about providing trust and confidence –and these can provide a competitive edge. In today’s world, our customers, business partners and shareholders want to be sure that you’re not putting them or their businesses at risk by not having appropriate safeguards in place around information and technology enabled business assets.
Boards want this confidence; management wants this confidence; and certification is a solid way of showing that you have invested and continue to invest to maintain appropriate levels of security based on acknowledged risks.

Back to Insights

“The virtual classroom coupled with an enthusiastic trainer made the course easy to run through and as good as any face to face courses I have ever attended.”

It was evident that the trainer had significant industry related experience in auditing. They were able to reinforce learnings and keep us interested by integrating their experiences into the course with relevant and engaging real world examples.

Course was enjoyable and I like the fact that we’re given a copy of the each of the Standards!

Honestly thought it was gonna be boring. I was very wrong! Very engaging and informative. Loved all 5 days and will be back for more courses!

Really enjoyed the training. What could be a very stale topic was delivered in a very engaging and detailed way. I particularly enjoyed the conversational delivery of the content and the practical activities were challenging and well presented. The catering was great too.
