ISO/IEC 27001: Understanding Security Standards as an Individual

ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It is a framework of policies and procedures that includes all legal, physical and technical controls involved in an organization's information risk management processes. It includes the requirements for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of an organization's ISMS. It provides a systematic and proactive approach to managing sensitive company information and assets, and helps organizations to protect their information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, perusal, inspection, recording or destruction. The standard is designed to ensure that organizations have appropriate and effective measures in place to protect their information assets, as well as to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. ISO/IEC 27001 provides a comprehensive set of guidelines and requirements that organizations can use to manage, monitor and improve their information security posture.
