PBD PRODUCT GUIDE:     ISO27001: INFORMATION SECURITY

ISO27001: 2005 (previously called BS7799) is the international standard for information security.

The Standard lays out the simple framework for an Information Security Management System, helping to deliver improved internal security arrangements within your business.

Threats and damage to a company’s reputation can occur through information loss, whether deliberate or accidental.

 As companies use more IT technologies for communication and data storage, its integrity is sadly often overlooked and rarely policed with dire consequences if it is lost or misused.

 The benefits of a good security system include:

•  A more positive image with major customers, who wish to deal with an organisation with a proven security approach.
• Reduction in security breaches.
• Reduction in data loss
• Improved IT security accountability and responsibility 
• Reductions in adverse publicity.

PBD has experience in numerous audits to BS7799 and has undertaken assignments with data storage companies culminating in ISO27001 registration.
