Whatever your industry, your information system is at the heart of your business. Cyber attacks are a costly and growing threat to business, government and society. ISO 27001 certification guarantees its protection, improvement and performance.
Cybersecurity, personal data protection, data control, information systems management: secure your information systems with ISO 27001.
To meet the global challenges of cybersecurity and improve the digital confidence of your stakeholders, a new, updated version of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard has just been published. AFAQ ISO/IEC 27001 certification demonstrates that you have implemented an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on the international reference standard ISO 27001. It defines a methodology for identifying cyber threats, controlling the risks associated with your organization's critical information, and implementing appropriate protection measures to ensure the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is not just for data hosts, start-ups, multinationals and IT companies. It applies to all organizations, businesses and public authorities, of all sizes and in all sectors, holding data, whether physical or dematerialized.
