ISO 27001:2022 is an information security management standard that provides guidance on how to protect information assets, including people, processes, and technology. It also covers how to manage risks to information security and ensure business continuity.
The certification focuses on three main aspects:
- Confidentiality: Ensuring that information is accessible only to authorized individuals.
- Integrity: Safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods.
- Availability: Making sure that authorized users have access to information and associated assets when needed.
