ISO certificates are never a legal requirement but instead a recommendation for all companies to adopt. In fact, it has experienced a growth rate of 20% in 2022 showing that important big companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon think that the standard is.

Cybersecurity is also an increasingly big issue for companies of all sizes to deal with. In the UK alone, the number of cybercrimes has increased by 40% in 2022 versus 2020.

Without the protection and procedures in place, cyber infringements are more likely to be successful in accessing your private data, leading to nasty repercussions.

ISO 27001 is a brilliant option as it provides a framework of processes relevant for businesses of all sizes from various industries. With corporate cyber-attacks up 50% worldwide, they are essential to every IT infrastructure.

The reasons for having ISO 27001 are obvious, but there are likely more benefits to achieving this level of compliance than you have considered. They include the following:

This makes trading more accessible and improves your reputation at the same time. Another benefit of this is that it is easier in terms of programmes and business expansion as any other individuals or companies you work with will be able to instantly obtain a view of your data and operations thanks to the uniform reporting that the ISO standard offers.

Showing that you take security and data safety seriously is a way to save your business money in the long run. As cyber security issues rise, insurance companies are becoming more selective about who they choose to offer support to, and as such, costs are also increasing. Due to its instant recognition and reputation as the best cyber strategy to be followed, ISO 27001 will ensure your business benefits from improved premiums and protection in more ways than one.

This will improve daily working life and ensure that each department can operate much more efficiently. Having a defined IT infrastructure in place and a company-wide one means that teams can collaborate seamlessly. Companies can also grow and scale without issues arising, making ISO 27001 ideal for already established businesses or just starting out.

As the main point of the significance of 46% of job seekers, company culture is essential. Teams that are supported by a robust security network are more likely to achieve better results as strong working has already been facilitated. It also shows that the business cares about the safety of its employees and associated work, which greatly impacts positive morale.

With ISO audits taking place every three years and taking around three months to complete, there is less of a need for frequent company audits to take place. This is because the processes are already in place to enable safe operations. We do still recommend undertaking audits in the interim, but this is something that we can manage for you, and they take much less time than the official counterparts.

No matter your industry or sector, there will be certain regulations that apply to your business. ISO 27001 ticks all security boxes meaning that you are more likely to be already set up for compliance with a range of other bodies.

With 52% of employees still hybrid working, ISO 27001 creates safer working practices for everyone involved. This also means that when companies bring in talent from overseas, they don’t need to worry about information being accessed unknowingly.
