The focus of ISO 27001 is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information in a company. Implementation of ISO 27001 helps resolve such situations, because it encourages companies to write down their main processes (even those that are not security-related), enabling them to reduce lost time by their employees. And the best thing of all – investment in ISO 27001 is far smaller than the cost savings you’ll achieve.īetter organization – typically, fast-growing companies don’t have the time to stop and define their processes and procedures – as a consequence, very often the employees do not know what needs to be done, when, and by whom.
