Cloud security in the Asia-Pacific region should be enhanced with ISO 27001, says expert

With Cloud security fast becoming a key trend in the Asia-Pacific cyber security market, service providers are encouraged to implement ISO 27001.

Certification to ISO 27001 proves that data managed in the Cloud is aligned with the most widely requested security certification in the world
— Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of IT Governance
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, June 11, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The increasing use of tablets, laptops and smartphones for work has inevitably led to a greater need to integrate systems and devices securely, and as a result Cloud security is fast becoming a key trend in the Asia-Pacific cyber security market.

Recent research conducted by ASD Reports found that large enterprises and SMEs in the region are increasingly adopting Cloud-based cyber security solutions, with a number of well-known organisations – including BAE Systems, Cisco Systems, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and Symantec – leading the way.

Alan Calder, the founder and chief executive of global cyber security solutions provider IT Governance, says:

“Cloud service providers in the Asia-Pacific region that want to demonstrate their security credentials should implement an information security management system (ISMS) compliant with the international cybersecurity standard, ISO 27001.

“Certification to ISO 27001 proves that data managed in the Cloud is aligned with the most widely requested security certification in the world. Organisations that achieve certification to the Standard are in good company, too: Google Apps for Business is just one of the many well-known Cloud providers to have achieved certification to ISO 27001.”
An ISO 27001-compliant ISMS is a company-wide approach to data security that encompasses people, processes and technology.

ISO 27001’s risk-based approach enables organisations to implement cyber security best practices based on the risks they actually face. Moreover, by certifying their ISMS to ISO 27001, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to cyber security to their stakeholders.

Thanks to IT Governance’s ISO 27001 Packaged Solutions, APAC organisations can now take advantage of expert ISO 27001 consultancy to implement the Standard at a fixed-price.
