ISO 27001 Framework
The ISO/IEC 27001 Framework is the internationally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information through risk management, governance, and control implementation. At its core, ISO 27001 helps organizations protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data—whether stored, processed, or transmitted—by aligning security practices with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
The framework is built around a risk-based process, requiring organizations to identify potential threats, assess their likelihood and impact, and implement appropriate controls from the companion standard ISO/IEC 27002. These controls cover a wide range of areas including asset management, access control, cryptography, operations security, and supplier relationships. By tailoring these controls to organizational needs, ISO 27001 supports both flexibility and accountability—ensuring that security measures are not just technical but also strategic and operational.
