If you sell to regulated financial services firms, you’re probably noticed that the first question on most of their Due Diligence / Security questionnaires is:
“Are you certified to a recognised security standard (e.g. ISO 27001)?”
If you work within a regulated firm and this isn’t the first question in your questionnaire, it should be.
Why?
Because ISO 27001 certification means the organisation has established a reliable system to manage information security risks.
And that system is independently audited at least annually.
It doesn’t prove the organisation is ‘secure’ (there’s no such thing).
But it’s a strong foundation.
So what?
I’m joining Stefan Debono of STEP Enterprises and the crew at Spector IT for a short, practical webinar on why ISO 27001 matters more than ever for organisations operating in regulated sectors, and what it takes to get certified.
The webinar is at 11am (Irish time) this Thursday, April 10th.
