What is ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management System (ISMS). It sets out a framework for identifying risks, applying appropriate security controls, and continually improving the way information is protected. Achieving certification shows that an organisation safeguards sensitive data, meets legal and regulatory obligations, and builds trust with clients and stakeholders.

Who should implement ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is applicable to organisations of all sizes and sectors, including businesses, government bodies, and non-profit organisations. It provides a framework for establishing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It is particularly relevant for:
- Organisations concerned about protecting sensitive information.
- Organisations seeking compliance with international information security standards.
- Organisations aiming to build trust with stakeholders through robust security practices.
What makes up ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is built around the concept of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The ISMS is structured to preserve the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) of information by applying a risk-based approach. These principles form the foundation of the standard and provide the criteria against which organisations are assessed during certification.
Confidentiality
Availability
ISO/IEC 27001 certification provides assurance that your organisation manages information security responsibly and reliably.
If your organisation is looking to establish an Information Security Management System (ISMS) to safeguard and manage sensitive information, ISO/IEC 27001 provides the recognised international framework to achieve this.
Gaining ISO/IEC 27001 certification demonstrates that your organisation has taken the necessary steps to protect confidential data and manage information exchanges with reduced risk of misuse, loss, or unauthorised access. It also confirms compliance with industry regulations and standards, helping to build customer trust, strengthen business relationships, and operate with confidence.
How to Get Certified?
To achieve ISO/IEC 27001 certification, your organisation must first implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that meets the requirements of the standard. Once your ISMS is established and operating effectively, you will need to undergo an independent audit by an accredited certification body.
Risk Associates is a UKAS-accredited certification body, which means we are authorised to conduct these audits and award certification. Successful certification confirms your compliance and is maintained through regular surveillance audits and ongoing improvement.
