Business continuity - why you need an ISO27001 supplier

ISO27001 aims to ensure that appropriate controls regarding confidentiality, integrity and availability of data are in place to protect your vital business information. Without protection, IT systems are prey to computer-assisted fraud and viral attack. Sensitive business data may be accessed, corrupted or lost. To minimise risk, it's vital to have the correct controls and processes. After all, prevention is always better than cure.

Choosing an ISO27001 supplier for business continuity planning and disaster recovery gives you immediate advantages. The accreditation not only demonstrates a supplier's commitment to ensuring data security, it also means:

• Maximum safety - ISO27001 certification is regarded as a 'must-have' since organisations require confidence in the safety of their IT systems
• Minimal business risk - with its rigorous controls, ISO27001 reduces the chances of breaches of security and helps prevent weaknesses in systems from exploitation
• Legislative compliance - the UK Data Protection Commissioner recommends ISO27001 as a way in which organisations can show that they comply with the Data Protection Act 1998
• Peace of mind - third party assessment provides increased confidence in security measures when compared to industry best practice
