ISO/IEC 27001 is widely known, providing requirements for an information security management system (ISMS), though there are more than a dozen standards in the ISO/IEC 27000 family. Using them enables organizations of any kind to manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted by third parties.

ISO/IEC 27001 certification can be applied to organisations of any size and type, both in order to protect them from any vulnerabilities and external attacks and to manage the entire life cycle of the information, whether it is in written, electronic or intellectual form, stored in-house or outsourced, relative to customers or to the company itself.
