ISO 27001 certification: protect your business’ data
Receive a quote tailored to your needs
Data as a valuable asset
Information is becoming increasingly valuable. The availability of customer, production and other data is essential to your operations and long-term success. That information must therefore be properly secured. This can be achieved with a management system based on the ISO 27001 information security standard. Kiwa’s experts are here to support your journey towards certification.
Protecting sensitive business information
Many information systems still prioritize business processes or ease of use over data security. As a result, you run the risk of sensitive information about your organisation, customers or employees being exposed, not necessarily due to malicious hackers, but potentially through your own staff, for example by losing a laptop or USB stick or sending an email carelessly.
ISO 27001 certification
ISO 27001, also known as NEN-ISO/IEC 27001, enables organisations to establish a systematic approach to safeguarding the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information. The standard defines requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, assessing, maintaining and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Internal audit
Organisations are free to design their ISMS to suit their specific needs. However, certain activities are mandatory, such as an internal ISO 27001 audit or risk analysis. An ISMS is essentially a working method that demonstrates compliance with ISO 27001 for information security, in other words: ‘say what you do, do what you say and prove that you did it.’
NEN 7510 for the healthcare sector
ISO 27001 certification applies to all types of organisations, from businesses and government agencies to non-profits and security providers. In healthcare, information security is especially critical. That’s why the Dutch NEN 7510 standard was developed, based on ISO 27001 but specifically tailored for the Dutch healthcare sector. NEN 7510 is often combined with NEN 7512 (data exchange) and NEN 7513 (logging of patient records). NEN 7512, in particular, aligns well with BRL 21030, the assessment guideline for alarm communication networks.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Since the introduction of the GDPR, information security has become a top priority for many organisations. ISO 27001 certification adds value for any organisation dealing with financial risks or sensitive personal data. It is increasingly required in tenders and procurement procedures and it’s also a powerful way to demonstrate to your employees that your organisation handles confidential information responsibly.
