More info

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management

The standard provides a framework for organisations to implement and maintain an information security management system (ISMS).

​

An ISMS is a set of policies, procedures, and controls that are designed to protect an organisation's information assets. The ISMS should be tailored to the specific needs of the organisation and should be implemented in a way that is effective and efficient.

​

Certification helps organisations to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and to comply with regulatory requirements. Certification demonstrates to customers, partners, and other stakeholders that an organisation has implemented an effective information security management system.

​

If you are looking for a way to improve the security of your organisation, then you should consider working with OCM Communications to implement ISO 27001.

 

ISO 27001 can help you to protect your organisation's information assets from a variety of threats, including malware attacks, phishing attacks, and data breaches.

  • Firewalls
    Create a security filter between the internet and your network. Firewalls are essential for protecting your internet connection. They act as a barrier between your internal network and external networks (such as the internet), preventing unauthorised access to your systems and data. Organisations must ensure that all devices that connect to the internet are protected by a properly configured firewall.
  • Secure Configuration
    Secure configuration involves setting up computers and network devices to reduce vulnerabilities. This includes changing default settings, disabling unnecessary features, and ensuring that only essential software is installed and running. Organisations need to ensure that devices and software are configured securely from the outset to minimise security risks.
  • User Access Control
    User access control ensures that only authorised individuals have access to systems and data. This involves implementing user accounts with appropriate privileges and using strong, unique passwords. It also includes restricting administrative privileges to only those who need them for their role.
  • Malware Protection
    Malware protection involves deploying anti-malware solutions to detect and prevent malicious software from infecting systems. This includes using antivirus software and other security tools to scan and protect against malware. Organisations must ensure that their anti-malware software is up-to-date and configured to scan for malware regularly
  • Software Security Updates
    Security update management, or patch management, ensures that software and devices are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates. This reduces vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. Organisations need to implement a process to regularly update and patch systems to protect against known threats.
