Why choose a vendor that is ISO 27001 certified?

What is the standard and ISO 27001 certification?

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard for information security management that defines requirements for protection, risk management, and continuity of information security operations. Its implementation process is complex and time-consuming. It involves aligning internal policies and procedures with the requirements outlined in the standard. It includes, among other things, developing an information security policy, identifying and assessing risks, implementing appropriate security controls, training employees, and monitoring and auditing.

Implementation usually takes a few to more than ten months and requires the involvement of both management and all employees. It takes place in two stages. First, a documentation audit is conducted, in which documents related to information security management are checked. This is followed by an audit of the functioning of the management system, in which the actual practice and effectiveness of the activities carried out are evaluated.

An independent authority, the certification body, which has special authority to assess the organization’s compliance with the requirements of ISO 27001, conducts the certification. Upon completing the audit, the organization receives a certificate confirming compliance with the standard.

ISO 27001 certification is not given permanently. Once a year, the company that receives it undergoes a special external audit, and after three years, it is necessary to renew the certificate. These measures are designed to verify that the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard are being met on a continuous basis and that there are no deficiencies in the declared procedures.

What are the benefits of working with a manufacturer that is ISO 27001 certified?

Working with a manufacturer that is ISO 27001 certified will provide your company with additional benefits that will improve cooperation and ensure objective compliance of processes with the highest standards.

Data security

ISO 27001 focuses on information security management. It defines requirements for protecting information, identifying risks, managing risks, and implementing appropriate security measures. By working with a vendor that adheres to these standards, you can be sure that your data, regardless of its form (digital, paper, cloud computing), is adequately protected at every level of cooperation.

High-quality service

The standard requires the definition and documentation of procedures related to information management, which obliges the manufacturer to follow a structured approach to its services. By applying conscientious procedures and well-thought-out processes, you can be sure that the quality of a certified manufacturer’s services will be significantly higher.

Compliance with legislation and regulations

Many sectors and industries have regulations regarding data protection and information security. When you work with a manufacturer that is ISO 27001 certified, you gain automatic assurance that it meets the highest legal and regulatory requirements for data protection.

Trust from your customers and business associates

ISO 27001 is a widely recognized standard. Working with a certified vendor can increase your customers and business partners’ confidence in your organization. Confirmation of ISO 27001 compliance can also be an essential factor in the decision-making process for selecting business partners.

Continuous improvement

ISO 27001 obliges to monitor and improve your information security management processes continuously. As a result, you can be confident that the manufacturer is continuously improving data security and information protection. Thanks to this, they are more resilient to cyber-attacks and external threats.
