Information security management system

ISO 27001

What is ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized framework for an information security management system.

ISO 27001 is applicable in all sectors of industry and commerce and deals with the security of information in whatever form it may take. Regardless of the form that information takes or the means by which it is shared or stored, ISO 27001 helps you ensure that it is always appropriately protected to help preserve:

Confidentiality – ensuring that access to information is appropriately authorized,

Integrity - preserving the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods,

Availability - ensuring that authorized users have access to information when needed.

Why choose ISO 27001 certification?

Obtaining a certificate from an accredited certification body shows that you have identified, implemented and controlled the security of your data. ISO 27001 provides a framework to ensure that an organization's information security measures are effective.

Check if your ISO 27001 certificate is accredited.

Not all certifications are created equal.

You need to make sure that your certificate is issued by an accredited body.  

A UKAS accredited certification body like Alcumus ISOQAR undergoes regular rigorous checks by the UKAS Accreditation Body to determine whether we are working to the highest standards.  

This means that when you have a certificate from a UKAS accredited certification body, you can be sure of its value. Certificates issued by non-UKAS accredited bodies are often not accepted. UKAS accredited certificates are accepted worldwide as proof that you meet global standards and best practice.

You and the employees of your organization have the right to a healthy and safe working environment. The best way to ensure this is to introduce an internationally recognized standard for occupational health and safety management - OHSAS 18001. Our consultants have the expertise and experience to implement the requirements of this standard.

The implemented requirements of OHSAS 18001 means that your management system is monitored and in accordance with the best standards and practices of occupational health and safety.

This international standard is widely distributed in all countries where awareness of workplace risks has been developed. The goal of the standard is to eliminate and minimize risks for employees that they may be exposed to in their workplaces.

Hazard identification, risk assessment, risk control process and risk control results are the basis of the entire occupational health and safety management system.

The benefits of the Health and Safety Management System for employees are multiple:
  • Planning, identification of hazards and legal requirements, risk assessment and risk control
  • Structure and responsibilities of all employees regarding health and safety at work
  • Training, awareness and competence of all employees
  • Operational control over all activities in the organization
  • Emergency preparedness and response
  • Measurement and monitoring
  • System review and improvement

OHSAS 18001:2007 is a new amended version of the standard, which is harmonized with the ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 standards for easier mutual integration into a single management system.
