ISO 27001 (ISMS) is an international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an ISMS. An ISMS is a systematic approach to managing the security of an organization’s information assets, such as customer data, financial information, and intellectual property.

ISO 27001 applies to all types of organizations, regardless of their size, industry, or location. It is based on a risk-based approach, which means that organizations must identify and assess the risks to their information assets and implement appropriate controls to mitigate those risks.
