The foundation

ISO

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management. It provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Key components include:

  • Risk Management: Identifying, assessing, and managing information security risks specific to the organization.
  • Control Objectives and Controls: Specifies controls to address information security risks, covering areas like access control, data protection, incident management, and compliance.
  • Continual Improvement: Emphasizes regular assessment and improvement of the ISMS to adapt to evolving security threats.
  • Leadership and Commitment: Requires top management involvement to integrate security practices into the organization’s culture.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 helps organizations protect sensitive information, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and fostering trust with clients and stakeholders.

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 is an extension of ISO/IEC 27001, designed specifically for privacy information management. It provides a framework for managing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and supports organizations in meeting privacy regulations such as GDPR. Key aspects include:

  • Privacy Information Management System (PIMS): Builds on ISO 27001 to address privacy requirements alongside information security.
  • Roles and Responsibilities: Defines roles of data controllers and processors, outlining their responsibilities for PII handling.
  • Risk and Compliance: Assesses privacy risks and ensures controls are in place for compliance with relevant privacy laws.
  • Enhanced Security Controls: Adds privacy-focused controls to secure the collection, processing, and management of PII.

ISO/IEC 27701:2019 helps organizations enhance transparency, trust, and regulatory compliance, effectively managing privacy risks and safeguarding individuals’ privacy rights.

ISO/IEC 27017:2021 is a security standard specifically tailored for cloud services, providing guidelines to enhance information security in cloud environments. It builds on ISO/IEC 27001, focusing on both cloud service providers (CSPs) and cloud customers. Key elements include:

  • Cloud-Specific Controls: Introduces controls for cloud security, covering areas like shared responsibilities, data segregation, and virtual environment security.
  • Roles and Responsibilities: Clearly defines security responsibilities between CSPs and customers, ensuring accountability and reducing security gaps.
  • Risk Management: Provides guidance on managing risks associated with cloud-specific threats, including data breaches, unauthorized access, and data loss.
  • Service Transparency: Encourages CSPs to be transparent about security practices, facilitating trust and informed decisions by customers.

ISO/IEC 27017:2021 supports organizations in managing cloud security risks effectively, fostering a secure and reliable cloud environment for data protection.
