What is an ISO 27001 Certification?
ISO 27001 certification is an internationally recognized proof that your company manages information securely. It shows that you have the right policies, processes, and controls in place to protect data, reduce cyber risks, and respond to security incidents.
What is an ISO 27001 internal audit?
An ISO 27001 internal audit is a key step before the official certification audit (external audit), helping you spot gaps, avoid surprises, and stay compliant. It is a check-up of your company’s information security practices. It helps you see if your processes, policies, and controls meet the ISO 27001 standard, and if not, what needs to be fixed.
