for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring,
reviewing, maintaining, and improving an organisation's
information security management system. ISO 27001

measured. It sets out the requirements for an Information
Security Management System (ISMS).
Other Details:

the security of sensitive information - encompassing
people, processes, IT systems and policy.

information against unauthorized access and changes.
ISO 27001 certificates are issued by a third party

security management system has been certified against
a best practice standard and found compliant.
