What is ISO 27001 standards?

The ISO 27000 family of information security management standards is a series of mutually supporting information security standards that can be combined to provide a globally recognised framework for best-practice information security management.

The mainstay of the series is ISO 27001, which sets out the specification for an ISMS (information security management system).

The ISO 27000 family of standards is broad in scope and is applicable to organisations of all sizes and in all sectors. As technology continually evolves, new standards are developed to address the changing requirements of information security in different industries and environments.
