ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard that provides a comprehensive framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS) within any organization. Its primary goal is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by systematically identifying and managing security risks through risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate controls. The standard is structured around a set of mandatory clauses (covering areas such as organizational context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement) and Annex A, which lists 93 controls grouped into organizational, people, physical, and technological categories. By following ISO 27001, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to data security, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and reduce the likelihood of data breaches or other information security incidents
