Answer: Depending upon the objectives defined for the ISMS, you may perceive financial gains with ISO 27001 certification from these areas:
- Increased revenue by new customers who chose the organization due to certification
- Increased revenue by reduction of systems downtime (e.g., e-commerce)
- Decreased operational costs due to interruptions (e.g., maintenance costs) and rework caused by incidents
- Decreased payment of legal fines because failure to fulfill service agreements or other legal requirements
- Optimization of the resources allocated to treat risks
Considering the costs related to an incident, and investments required for preventing it happens or its recurrence, I suggest you take a look at our ROSI calculator. This tool can help you judge if the Return on Security Investment will be worth.

I can understand how a business could really benefit from having the right kind of software. Getting software from a professional could be really useful for them. It was interesting to learn about how they can decrease operational costs.

Some examples of how the right kind of software can help decrease operational costs are:
- increasing the number of automatized activities (i.e., fewer people required to perform the same number of tasks)
- improving response time to handle incidents or deviations in processes results (by means of monitoring features)
- providing information for decision making (by means of standard or customized reports and dashboards)
