Take a look at the ISO 27001 accreditation with us as we unravel its importance, key controls, and the differences between the 2013 and 2022 versions. Explore why this accreditation holds pivotal importance for Fuuse and how it enhances information security.

 What is ISO27001 Accreditation?

ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for organisations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their information security processes and controls. The standard outlines requirements for assessing and managing information security risks, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets, and addressing legal and regulatory obligations related to information security. Compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 demonstrates to stakeholders, including customers, partners, and regulators, that an organisation is committed to protecting its sensitive information and managing security risks effectively. 

 

 What is the difference between ISO27001 2013 and ISO27001 2022?  

ISO 27001:2022 includes the same number of clauses as ISO 27001:2013, but the text has changed slightly. When ISO standards are revised, the changes often include updates to reflect advancements in technology, changes in the threat landscape, and feedback from users and experts.  

There are several ISO27001 controls split into different areas. In the case of ISO27001 there are 93 controls divided into four categories: Organisational Controls, People Controls, Physical Controls and Technological Controls.
