In recent years, the number of cyber attacks has increased dramatically and have become even more sophisticated. In response to the complex, growing threat, new and updated rules and regulations and legislation have been issued in the area of cybersecurity and information security which impose greater demands on suppliers of services and products for vital societal functions. Accreditation by SWEDAC means that SBSC can now offer ISO 27001 certification both to companies within the security industry as well as organisations in other industries.
Security requirements are now more extensive due to NIS2, the CER Directive and the Cybersecurity Act
“It is clear that security requirements are increasing. With the NIS2 Directive and impending Cybersecurity Act, we are experiencing more interest in information and cybersecurity than ever before. Certification and a high level of information security have become issues which are more business-critical,” says Mårten Wallén, Managing Director at SBSC.
Businesses which are not directly covered by the EU security requirements will most likely be indirectly affected through virtual partnerships, business relationships and the demands made by customers and supplier chains.
ISO 27001 certification will have several advantages
Allowing an independent expert to audit the company’s assets, management systems and identified security risks leads to better controls in information management.
“Certification enhances credibility since it demonstrates that information assets are managed in a secure and structured way. At the same time, it contributes to efficiency by virtue of the establishment of a systematic working method to identify risks, address incidents and avoid operational disruptions,” says Johan Westlin, Team Leader at SBSC.
ISO 27001
The ISO 27000 series covers both management systems standards and guidance standards which can be applied in every type of organisation irrespective of the industry, scale or business. The series consists of a variety of standards in which ISO 27001 is the only one intended for certification.
