What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring it remains secure through people, processes, and technology controls.
Unlike SOC 2 (which is a US-based attestation), ISO 27001 is a globally recognized certification that demonstrates your commitment to information security to customers, partners, and regulators worldwide. It's particularly valuable for companies doing business in Europe, APAC, or with international customers who require ISO certification.
The standard covers 93 security controls across 14 domains (called Annex A), from access control and cryptography to supplier relationships and business continuity. You implement the controls that apply to your business, document your ISMS, and get certified by an accredited certification body.
Why You Need ISO 27001
Open doors to global markets and build customer trust worldwide
Global Market Access
EU and international customers often require ISO 27001. It's the standard they recognize and trust, opening doors that SOC 2 alone cannot.
EU/GDPR Alignment
ISO 27001 aligns closely with GDPR requirements. Many EU companies prefer or require ISO certification over other frameworks.
Competitive Advantage
Stand out in RFPs and procurement processes. ISO 27001 signals world-class security to enterprise customers globally.
Works Alongside SOC 2
AI failures are expensive: bias lawsuits, regulatory fines, reputational damage, model drift incidents. ISO 42001 forces you to build proper AI governance before incidents occur. Insurance for AI risk.
Comprehensive ISMS
Everyone claims "responsible AI." ISO 42001 proves it with third-party certification. Stand out in crowded AI market. Enterprise procurement requires certification, not marketing claims. Cut through AI hype.
Investor Confidence
VCs investing in AI companies want to see governance maturity. ISO 42001 signals serious, responsible AI development. Reduces regulatory risk for investors. Higher valuations for certified AI companies (provable de-risking).
