DIN EN ISO/IEC 27001:2017 Information technology - Security techniques - Information security management systems - Requirements

Today, information technology systems penetrate all areas of an organization. Especially critical business processes are usually unthinkable without information technology. But this also increases the risks of data loss, theft of confidential data or damage to important systems.
The ISO/IEC 27001 is the leading international standard for information security management systems. It applies to private and public enterprises as well as non-profit organizations and defines the requirements for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of an information security management system.
Through its high-level structure, the information security management system can be fully integrated into an existing management system, e.g. according to ISO 9001:2015.

This standard provides a systematic, structured approach

  1. to increase the availability of your own information technology systems, including existing data and information,
  2. to protect the integrity of existing information,
  3. to ensure the confidentiality of existing data and their protection against unauthorized access, as well as
  4. to ensure the authenticity of information.
