Swot of iso 27001

In order for me to understand the iso 27001 better can you provide me with a SWOT analysis of the ISO with example for large organisations (1 million+) member voting systems?

First, it is important to note that a SWOT analysis is not mandatory for ISO 27001, but it can help the identification of organizational context (internal and external issues that can impact information security) and requirements of interested parties.
 
 Considering that, without knowing specifics of the organization, regarding internal and external issues that can impact information security related to the voting system, it is unfeasible to provide a SWOT example.
 
 In a general way you can consider that:
 - Your Strengths and Weaknesses are internal issues with positive and negative connotations.
 - Your Opportunities and Threats are external issues with positive and negative connotations.
 
 Not all those issues have the same weight or the same impact on your organization. Use the needs and expectations of interested parties to evaluate which issues are more relevant.
 
 Then, pick those relevant positive issues (internal or external) and see if you can find relevant opportunities and benefits to evaluate and act upon.
 Then, pick those relevant negative issues (internal or external) and see if you can find relevant risks to evaluate and act upon.

Many thanks for your reply Rhand, I am interested in risk analysis of using ISO's to create a false sense of security and therefore asked if SWOT is the correct tool for this task?
