ISO 27001 Compliance Audit
ISO/IEC 27001:2005 covers all types of organisations (e.g. commercial enterprises, government agencies, not-for profit organisations) and specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented Information Security Management System within the context of the organization's overall business risks. It specifies requirements for the implementation of security controls customized to the needs of individual organisations or parts thereof.
The standard is designed to ensure the selection of adequate and proportionate security controls that protect information assets and give confidence to interested parties and is intended to be suitable for several different types of use, including the following:
- use within organisations to formulate security requirements and objectives;
- use within organisations as a way to ensure that security risks are cost effectively managed;
- use within organisations to ensure compliance with laws and regulations;
- use within an organisation as a process framework for the implementation and management of controls to ensure that the specific security objectives of an organisation are met;
- definition of new information security management processes;
- identification and clarification of existing information security management processes;
- use by the management of organisations to determine the status of information security management activities;
- use by the internal and external auditors of organisations to determine the degree of compliance with the policies, directives and standards adopted by an organisation;
- use by organisations to provide relevant information about information security policies, directives, standards and procedures to trading partners and other organisations with whom they interact for operational or commercial reasons;
- implementation of business-enabling information security;
- use by organisations to provide relevant information about information security to customers.

Certification under ISO27001 is optional but is increasingly required by business partners that are concerned about Information Security and provides assurance that an organisations commitment to Information Security is taken seriously.
Computer Security Solutions provides ISO27001 Lead Auditors who are able to provide customers with an ISO27001 audit, allowing them to ascertain whether they are able to obtain certification and provide advice on how to improve, if required, their ISMS in order to gain certification.
