What is the difference between ISO 27000 and 27001?


ISO 27000: ISO 27000 is a set of standards and guidelines for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It outlines the principles and best practices for organizations to use in order to ensure the secure handling of customer data. It covers topics such as access control, data encryption, incident management, and risk management.

ISO 27001: ISO 27001 is an international standard for the implementation of an ISMS. It outlines the requirements for organizations to develop, implement, maintain, and continually improve an ISMS. It also provides a framework for organizations to assess and manage the risks associated with their information security. The standard requires organizations to audit their ISMS on a regular basis to ensure that it is meeting the requirements of the standard.
