ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s best-known standard for information security management systems (ISMS) and defines requirements an ISMS must meet.
What ISO 27001 does (and doesn’t) guarantee
Does: shows a structured security management system (risk assessment, controls, continuous improvement).
Doesn’t: automatically mean every site/process is covered—scope matters.
What to ask vendors
- What sites and services are in the certificate scope?
- Who owns risk management and supplier management?
- How are access control, encryption, retention, and logging handled?
- How often do they run internal audits and incident simulations?
