ISO 27001 Cyber Security
Protecting your information with internationally recognised security standards
At iFacility, protecting customer information is just as important as protecting people, property and profits.
That is why we maintain ISO 27001, the internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems, alongside Cyber Essentials certification.
Together, these certifications demonstrate our commitment to managing information security risks, protecting our systems against common cyber threats and continually improving our security practices.
Whether we are remotely monitoring your premises, managing CCTV footage, processing alarm events or supporting your security systems, you can be confident that information security is built into how we operate.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management.
Rather than being a single cybersecurity product or software solution, ISO 27001 provides a structured framework that helps organisations identify information security risks, implement appropriate controls and continually improve how information is protected.
Certification demonstrates that an organisation has established an effective Information Security Management System, commonly known as an ISMS.
This covers the people, policies, processes and technologies used to protect sensitive and confidential information.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber attacks.
The certification focuses on important technical safeguards, including:
- Secure configuration of systems and devices
- Firewalls and internet gateways
- User access controls
- Security update management
- Protection against malware
Achieving Cyber Essentials certification provides additional assurance that practical cybersecurity controls are in place across our IT environment.
How do ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials work together?
ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials provide different but complementary levels of assurance.
ISO 27001 demonstrates that we operate a comprehensive, risk-based information security management system across the organisation.
Cyber Essentials confirms that fundamental technical protections are in place to reduce exposure to common internet-based cyber threats.
Together, they demonstrate that iFacility approaches information security at both an organisational and technical level.
