<strong>The</strong> International Organization <strong>for</strong> Standardization (ISO) is a multinational federation of standards<br />
organizations from 168 countries around the world. <strong>The</strong>y serve as a <strong>for</strong>um <strong>for</strong> members to collaborate in<br />
the development and promotion of worldwide standards <strong>for</strong> technology, scientific testing, and working<br />
conditions. <strong>The</strong>se approved standards are then sold by the ISO to global accrediting organizations,<br />
issuing certifications to businesses and institutions that apply <strong>for</strong> them and then ensuring they comply<br />
with these standards.<br />
Currently, ISO 27001 is the industry’s leading standard <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation security management systems.<br />
Today, some of the world’s largest technology companies have ISO 27001 certification, including<br />
Microsoft, Verizon, Apple, Google, Intel, and Amazon. But it’s not just <strong>for</strong> the larger, global conglomerates.<br />
ISO 27001 can provide companies of any size with guidance <strong>for</strong> establishing, implementing, and<br />
maintaining their systems to manage risks related to the security of the company’s data.<br />
Additionally, ISO 27001 promotes a holistic approach to in<strong>for</strong>mation security by vetting people, policies,<br />
and technology. When an in<strong>for</strong>mation security management system is implemented according to this<br />
standard, it becomes an essential tool <strong>for</strong> risk management, cyber-resilience, and operational excellence.<br />
According to the ISO, implementation of their 27001 standard helps organizations in multiple ways by:<br />
• Reducing vulnerability to the growing threat of cyberattacks, and helping companies respond to<br />
evolving security risks<br />
• Ensuring assets such as financial statements, intellectual property, and employee data entrusted<br />
to third parties remain undamaged, confidential, and available<br />
• Providing a centrally-managed framework that secures all in<strong>for</strong>mation in one place, including<br />
paper-based, cloud-based, and digital data<br />
• Preparing people, processes, and technology throughout an organization to face technologybased<br />
risks and other threats<br />
• Saving money by increasing efficiency and reducing expenses <strong>for</strong> ineffective cyberdefense<br />
technology<br />
<strong>The</strong> ISO standard also benefits companies by signaling to potential customers that they take<br />
cybersecurity seriously. Certification demonstrates that a vendor is committed to constantly investing in<br />
the infrastructure, staff, and policies needed to ensure that their customers’ data remains safe and secure.<br />
This is especially important <strong>for</strong> businesses that provide IT or technology services to other organizations<br />
like MSPs, SaaS vendors, or cloud hosting organizations. Also, clients working in extra sensitive<br />
industries like healthcare and defense are often required by law to work with IT vendors who maintain<br />
ISO 27001 certification <strong>for</strong> compliance reasons. That means certification can bolster a company’s<br />
reputation in these sectors while opening them up to new customers and markets.<br />
Miradore, the mobile device management company I work <strong>for</strong>, recently received its own ISO 27001<br />
certification. Initially, we did this to show our commitment to strong cybersecurity practices and<br />
demonstrate our commitment to protecting our customers. But we had also heard from many potential<br />
customers that they wanted to work with us but needed an ISO 27001–certified vendor. Now, by having<br />
this certification, we can bring in new business while ensuring that all of our customers are protected by<br />
the industry’s leading data security practices.<br />
