There are many ways your organisation can be impacted by a failure to protect your information and the consequences can be catastrophic.
For example, in Europe, a failure to protect the personally identifiable information (PII) of your employees or customers could result in your organisation being prosecuted under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This carries with it fines of up to 4% of global turnover, or 20 million Euros, whichever is the higher.
If a failure to protect information becomes public knowledge, it can also lead to negative publicity in traditional or social media, resulting in significant brand and reputational damage and impacting your organisation’s ability to generate revenue.
Implementing an ISMS based upon ISO 27001 will help you to identify where your greatest risks are and for you to deal with them appropriately, and reduce the likelihood of significant impacts occurring. This will reassure your stakeholders that information security risk is being managed effectively.
We would like to pass on our gratitude to our consultant for all his hard work and advice during our 3-year re-certification and assessment against the new Standard. After seven days of auditing, we have two OFIs that the assessors have put forward from the audits. This pays testament to our URM consultant, his hard work, eye for detail and advice given, both during the audits and during all the works beforehand.

I found the course very informative, and the trainer was communicative, supportive and engaging. He is very skilled at adapting to the different types of people and transferring knowledge in a way that sticks with attendees; he delivered the same training over 2 years ago and I still remember the things he taught us. We will definitely be recommending him to other businesses that want to learn about ISO standards. Definitely a great asset to the company.
