Achieving ISO 27001 certification is a rigorous, structured process that testifies to Capency’s commitment to ensuring the security of its information. This international standard defines the requirements for implementing, maintaining and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
The entire Capency team has been trained in the requirements of the standard and made aware of the importance of information security. Certification is valid for 3 years, and surveillance audits are carried out every year.
ISO 27001: What is it? What are the requirements?
This standard focuses on information security risk management. It requires the identification of information assets, the assessment of associated risks, and the implementation of appropriate controls to mitigate these risks. Capency has also established an information security policy, objectives and a framework for continuous improvement of the ISMS.
The main benefits:
Improving information security
It provides a structured framework for identifying, assessing and managing information security risks. By implementing an ISMS, Capency strengthens the protection of its sensitive data against cyber threats, information leaks and unauthorized access.
Regulatory compliance
Many industries are subject to strict data protection regulations (e.g. RGPD in Europe). This certification helps companies comply with these legal and regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of sanctions and fines.
Building trust with customers and partners
Our customers and partners want to be sure that their information is in safe hands. We had already put in place rigorous measures to protect their data, and this certification reinforces their confidence and facilitates business relations.
Reducing safety-related costs
By having a well-structured ISMS, we are able to manage our security resources more effectively, avoiding unnecessary investment and reducing the costs associated with security incidents (such as data leaks or computer attacks). ISO 27001 also enables us to anticipate and react more quickly to threats, thus limiting potential losses.
Improving risk management
This standard requires us to adopt a systematic approach to identifying and managing risks. This enables us to better understand potential vulnerabilities and put in place appropriate controls to mitigate them, thereby reducing the likelihood and impact of security incidents.
Safety culture within the company
Implementing an ISO 27001-compliant ISMS requires the participation of all our employees. This helps create a culture of security, where everyone is aware of the challenges of information security and their role in protecting the company’s data.
Continuous improvement
One of the principles of ISO 27001 is continuous improvement. We are encouraged to constantly evaluate and improve our security processes, keeping pace with evolving threats and technologies.
Facilitating external audits
We are better prepared for external audits, as we already have the documentation and processes in place to demonstrate compliance with safety requirements.
International recognition
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard, opening up opportunities in new markets and facilitating business relations with foreign companies.
