What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 Information Security Management is the international best practice standard for information security.
ISO 27001:2013, the current version of the standard, provides a set of standardised requirements for an information security management system (ISMS).
The standard is especially suitable where the protection of information is critical, such as in the banking, financial, health, public and IT sectors.
The standard is also very applicable for organisations which manage high volumes of data, or information on behalf of other organisations such as data centres and IT outsourcing companies.

The sections are: Security Policy, Organisation of Information Security, Asset Management, Human Resources Security, Physical & Environmental Security, Communications & Operations Management, Access Control, Information Systems Acquisition, Development and Maintenance, Information Security Incident Management, Business Continuity.
