ISO 27001 is a globally recognized standard that defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS within an organization. This comprehensive framework is designed to help organizations systematically manage information security risks and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information.
Within the ISO 27001 standard, there are a total of 97 controls organized into various domains, including:
These controls, distributed across these domains, collectively serve as a robust framework for organizations to safeguard their information assets and mitigate security risks in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
Confidentiality
Confidentialitytranslates to data and systems that must be protected against unauthorized access from people, processes, or unauthorized applications. This involves use of technological controls like multifactor authentication, security tokens, and data encryption.
Confidentiality means only the right people can access the information held by the organization.
Integrity
Integrity means verifying the accuracy, trustworthiness, and completeness of data. It involves use of processes that ensure data is free of errors and manipulation, such as ascertaining if only authorized personnel has access to confidential data.
Information integrity means data that the organization uses to pursue its business or keep safe for others is reliably stored and not erased or damaged.
Availability
Availability typically refers to the maintenance and monitoring of information security management systems (ISMSs). This includes removing any bottlenecks in security processes, minimizing vulnerabilities by updating software and hardware to the latest firmware, boosting business continuity by adding redundancy, and minimizing data loss by adding back-ups and disaster recovery solutions..
