Information Security ISO/IEC 27001

Information Security Management Systems Registration

In order to be awarded a BSI certificate of registration for your Information Security Management System, you must pass an assessment by a BSI auditor to the standard ISO/ IEC 27001:2005. The Route to Registration gives a detailed description of this process.

BSI registration of your ISMS delivers a number of valuable benefits:

• Commercial Credibility, Trust and Confidence
  Your customers can feel confident of your commitment to keeping their information safe. Registration can help set a company apart from its competitors and in the marketplace. Already, international invitations to tender are starting to require ISO/IEC 27001 compliance. 
• Cost Savings
  The cost of a single information security breach can be significant; the cost of several could be catastrophic. Registration reduces the risk of such costs being incurred and this is important to stakeholders and other investors in your business. Possible reduction in insurance premiums can also be realized.
• Legal Compliance
  Registration demonstrates to competent authorities that the organization observes all applicable laws and regulations. In this matter, the standard complements other existing standards and legislation.
• Commitment
  Registration helps to ensure and demonstrate commitment at all levels of the organization.
• Operating Level Risk Management
  Leads to a better knowledge of information systems, their weaknesses and how to protect them. Equally, it ensures a more dependable availability of both hardware and data.
• Employee
  Improves employee awareness of security issues and their responsibilities within the organization.
• Continual Improvement
  The regular assessment process will help you to continually use, monitor and improve your management system and processes.
