Frequently Asked Questions

ISO 27001 certification is not legally mandatory in most jurisdictions. However, it is increasingly required by customers, supply chains, and regulatory frameworks. Some sectors, particularly financial services, healthcare, and government contracting, effectively mandate certification through contractual or procurement requirements.

General IT security measures tend to focus on technical controls such as firewalls, antivirus, and encryption. ISO 27001 provides a comprehensive management system approach that includes governance, risk assessment, people controls, physical security, and continual improvement alongside technology. It ensures security is managed systematically rather than addressed in isolation.
