ISO 27001 is a standard that regulates how information security is managed in an organization. Its objective is to ensure proper management of information in the organization.
During the preparation for compliance with the standard’s requirements, a mechanism is created for identifying risks and creating appropriate controls. The goal is for the data to be safe and available and that it will be possible to recover and return to normal in case of an emergency.
