Google has announced that its Google Apps for Business productivity suite has earned the ISO 27001 certification.
"ISO 27001 is one of the most widely recognized, internationally accepted independent security standards and we have earned it for the systems, technology, processes and data centers serving Google Apps for Business,"shared Eran Feigenbaum, Director of Security, Google Enterprise.
Google's auditor in this case was Ernst & Young CertifyPoint, an ISO certification body accredited by the Dutch Accreditation Council and a member of the International Accreditation Forum.
"This new certification, along with our existing SSAE 16 / ISAE 3402 audits and FISMA certification for Google Apps for Government, help assure our customers that Google is committed to ongoing development and maintenance of a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) that an independent, third-party auditor will regularly audit and certify," Feigenbaum pointed out.
"ISO 27001 is certainly a big step for Google - complying with this standard is very important for any high growth technology company since in most cases such growth causes weaknesses due to unstructured approach to security. ISO 27001 helps companies systematically resolve most of the information security issues - recognizing what are the biggest threats and then defining precisely how to resolve those threats and who is responsible for doing it," Dejan Kosutic, founder of Information Security & Business Continuity Academy, commented for Help Net Security.

Firstly, potential customers are far more likely to put their trust in a business who they know will protect their private data, and not be susceptible to hacking and viruses. You will gain trust and admiration, a larger customer base, and consequently higher turnover if you have an accepted information security management system in place. Gaining credibility is one of the most important things for both new and old, large and small businesses, and so it is something to seriously consider

ReplyDeleteISO 27001 Audit
ReplyDeleteISO/IEC 27001 formally specifies a management system that is intended to bring information security under explicit management control. This iso 27001 standard requirements are based on integrity, availability and confidentiality of information followed by ISO/IEC 27001 certification audits: the organization is essentially presumed to have adopted all necessary information security controls since the overall ISMS is in place and is deemed adequate by satisfying the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001.
