Information and cyber security standards

Keeping your information secure and IT systems and networks operating effectively during a disruption, such as the outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), can be a challenge.

At a time where remote working is often required to enable your organization to operate at acceptable service levels, the risk to information security can increase. People may be using home networks, opting for local storage if connections are slow and for many this is a whole new working style.

This means information security policies and awareness training has never been more important. And that’s where standards may help; by offering best practice and practical guidance for businesses and individuals to build their resilience.

ISO/IEC 27001 provides an internationally recognized framework and set of controls to develop, implement and maintain an information security management system (ISMS). It requires staff awareness training and ongoing communication to ensure that your organization is protected.
