Certification benefits

Answer: Information security means the protection of information regardless the medium it refers to , and this goes well beyond IT environment (e.g., information flows through physical reports, people talk about them, etc.), and ISO 27001 can help you to ensure proper information protection in all these situations. As practical examples, I can mention that pharmaceutical companies must protect their research information , and banks must protect information about their customers. Both are non-IT organizations to which ISO 27001 is perfectly applicable.

So, I strongly recommend you to seek for certification, because besides complying with a customer demand, by implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 27001, you can achieve other benefits like enhanced competitiveness, reduction of operational costs, improved internal organization, and easiness to maintain conformity with legal requirements.
