Valuable information needs effective protection

Information is a vital part of modern life; our society increasingly depends on it. This is why responsible handling of infor-mation is more important than ever.The aspects of confidentiality, availability and integrity are gaining significance: information is pre-cious, and loss or manipulation can lead to considerable damage and harm.

To counteract these risks, it is ad-visable to install a comprehensive information security management system (ISMS), which also takes legal, regulatory and contractual rules and stipulations into account.

The criteria for development, introduction, operation, monitoring and continual improvement of a documented ISMS are defined by standard ISO/IEC 27001. Certification by TÜV NORD CERT according to ISO/IEC 27001 offers confirmation that the requirements of the standard are effectively implemented – for efficient protection of valuable information.

Target groups for certificationThe certification is intended for organisations and companies from all sectors – from manufacturing industry through wholesalers and retailers up to service providers and public utilities. In addition, TÜV NORD CERT offers certification according to ISO/IEC 20000-1 to internal or external IT service providers for highly-capable IT service management.

Benefits of certificationCompanies and other organisations benefit from certification according to ISO/IEC 27001 in many ways: n Weaknesses in data handling are revealed n Employees are made aware of security aspects, and risk awareness also increases n Systematic handling of information increases security and risks are reduced to an acceptable level based on a risk analysisn Certification of the ISMS by a recognised certification body creates trust on the part of clients, partners and investors

Prerequisites for certificationPrerequisites for certification are the installation of a risk management system with identification, analysis, evaluation and handling of risks, and the issue of the scope of applicability.
