There’s no telling when disasters will occur. The next disaster – a new epidemic, data breach, earthquake, or flood – could compromise data, result in lost business, or prevent employees from accessing a physical office.

The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) provide a globally recognized framework for best-practice information security management: the ISO/IEC 27000 family of mutually supporting information security standards (also known as the ISO 27000 series).
The most well-known of the series is ISO 27001, which sets out the specification for an ISMS (information security management system).
The series is developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
