The way in which you look after and use corporate information can mean the difference between success and failure for your business. Get it right and you’ll grow your customer-base. Get it wrong and the risks and penalties can stop you in your tracks.
ISO 27001 certification demonstrates that your business has systems in place to protect corporate information and data, whether this is online or offline. By gaining ISO 27001, customer and stakeholder confidence is increased and your company’s reputation is improved, allowing you to stand out amongst competitors.
The ISO 27001 standard provides the framework for an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS). It sets out the policies and procedures needed to protect your organisation and includes all the risk controls (legal, physical and technical) necessary for robust IT security management.
By becoming ISO 27001 certified companies are showing a commitment to ensuring that adequate security controls are in place to protect information and data from being accessed, corrupted, lost or stolen.
Through ISO 27001 certification, your company can demonstrate compliance with internationally recognised standards of information security.

Excellent standard of service/guidance given
The QMS representative was very clear and concise in any instructions and guidance given on the day of assessment. His post assessment assistance was the same. No question was too big for him to offer his help and communication was of a high standard. I would certainly recommend QMS/[the Consultant] if a company is thinking of obtaining ISO 27001 standard.
