ISO 27001 for IT Services
As an IT service provider, you’ll handle sensitive customer data every day, setting you up as a prime target for cyber-attacks. By implementing ISO 27001, an international standard for online data security, you’ll protect your most private and sensitive information and severely reduce your risk of a costly data breach. With full ISO 27001 certification, you’ll be showing your customers and clients that you take information security seriously.

Challenges
IT companies face several challenges in keeping their information secure and maintaining customer trust:
Ensuring regulatory compliance
The IT industry is one that demands the highest standards of compliance to meet their information security obligations. Implementing the relevant controls, procedures, and policies can be a tall order.
Securing sensitive customer data
IT organisations handle a large amount of data, such as financial details and personal data. As such, they can face huge challenges in protecting their customers’ sensitive information from unauthorised access, data breaches, or malicious attacks.
Managing cybersecurity risks and threats
IT companies must constantly fend off threats such as phishing attacks, and malware, to name a few. Staying ahead of these ever-evolving threats and effectively preparing for future attacks is a constant challenge.
