Why ISO 27001 is important for companies

Information security is now a key prerequisite for stable business processes and trustworthy collaboration with customers and partners.

The international standard ISO/IEC 27001 defines a globally recognized framework for establishing and operating an Information Security Management System (ISMS).

With ISO 27001 certification, companies demonstrate that information security is managed systematically – from risk analysis to continuous improvement.

ISO 27001 and TISAX – two closely related standard

ISO 27001 forms the international foundation for many industry-specific security standards. The TISAX framework, established in the automotive industry, is also based on the core principles of an ISMS according to ISO 27001.

Companies that have implemented a structured ISMS according to ISO 27001 already meet a large portion of the organizational requirements of a TISAX assessment.

InShield Consulting’s experience from over 250 TISAX audits worldwide enables particularly efficient implementation of ISO 27001 projects.

FAQs on ISO 27001 certification

More and more companies must demonstrate that they systematically protect sensitive information. This includes customer data, development information, production processes, or trade secrets.

ISO 27001 provides an internationally recognized standard for ISMS, enabling companies to demonstrate structured information security.

How are ISO 27001 and NIS2 related?

ISO 27001 already covers a large part of the technical and organizational requirements of the NIS2 directive, particularly in ISMS, risk management, and IT security.Companies with a TISAX-compliant security management system therefore have an excellent starting point for NIS2.
Additional requirements mainly include legal obligations to report cyber incidents to authorities.
