An ISO 27001 certification demonstrates that a company has implemented an information security management system based on best practices for managing risks, controls, and continual improvement. The certification is recognized internationally and seen as validating that a company takes security seriously. It can provide benefits like enhanced security, improved compliance, reduced risks from breaches, and an improved reputation. To become certified, an organization must undergo an assessment by an independent third party auditor to verify its system meets the ISO 27001 standard requirements.
