ISO 27001:2022 is an international standard that sets forth the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The primary goal of ISO 27001 is to help organizations systematically manage and protect their information assets, including sensitive data and intellectual property, by implementing a comprehensive set of security controls. The standard provides a risk-based approach, allowing organizations to assess and address their specific information security risks, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

ISO 27001:2022 encompasses a holistic framework that covers various aspects of information security, such as risk assessment, security policy development, access controls, incident response, and ongoing monitoring. Achieving certification under ISO 27001:2022 demonstrates to stakeholders, customers, and partners that an organization is committed to managing information security risks effectively and has implemented a robust system to safeguard sensitive information in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
