ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is the international standard for data security. This standard requires companies to define their security risk assessment and to have a detailed ISMS (Information Security Management System). The Statement of Applicability is a major document within ISO 27001: in fact it is a checklist that enables companies to review all tools, instructions and procedures related to data security.

Due to the introduction of GDPR, the role of ISO 27001 has become increasingly important in European countries. Recently, ISO 27701 (privacy management) was published as an extension to ISO 27001.
