ISO 27001 Information Security Management System
The international standard that certifies an organization's ability to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information, managing security risks in a systematic and demonstrable way.
¿Qué es ISO 27001?
What is ISO 27001 certification?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard that sets out the requirements for implementing, maintaining, and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Published by ISO and IEC, it allows any organization — regardless of size, sector, or country — to identify the risks facing its information and apply controls to manage them systematically.
Unlike a one-off technical fix, ISO 27001 addresses information security holistically: processes, people, technology, and suppliers. Certification demonstrates to customers, partners, and regulators that the organization actively manages security risks, rather than only reacting after an incident.
The pillars of the standard
Information is protected across three dimensions
Confidentiality
Information is only accessible to those authorized to see it, preventing unauthorized access or leaks.
Integrity
Data remains accurate and complete, protected against unauthorized or accidental modification.
Availability
Information and systems are accessible whenever the organization and its authorized users need them.
