“More and more companies have come to realise the benefits of implementing an ISO27001-accredited information security management system".

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, September 22, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The latest ISO27001 certification figures were published this month in the ISO Survey , which show a 24% rise in certificates throughout Europe in 2013 when compared to 2012. Slovenia, Austria and Italy saw the largest jumps in ISO27001 growth, with certification rates up 276%, 167% and 80% respectively.

“The increase in ISO27001 certificates is not surprising,” says Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of leading cyber security firm IT Governance. “More and more companies have come to realise the benefits of implementing an ISO27001-accredited information security management system, both in terms of improving security and gaining a competitive advantage, as the battle against cyber crime intensifies.”

ISO27001 is the internationally recognised information security standard that describes best practice requirements for an information security management system (ISMS). ISO27001 certification helps organisations win business by reassuring potential and existing customers that their data is safe. It also protects an organisation’s reputation due to the Standard’s established and internationally-accepted framework. Similarly, its robust framework makes it easier for organisations to comply with local information security legislation, such as the Data Protection Directive.

IT Governance has led more than 140 successful certifications to ISO27001 around the world. The company recently launched packaged solutions, providing a combination of online products and services at a fixed price, in order to help organisations achieve ISO27001 certification.
