ASHLAND, OHIO, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IT Governance, the leading provider of cybersecurity and ISO 27001 expertise, is urging organizations to secure their assets while complying with international cybersecurity legislation in order to avoid financial and reputational damage associated with cyber attacks and data breaches.

This comes in response to a recent report showing that the overall costs of cybersecurity incidents and data breaches are much higher than the financial impact of burglary over the same period.

Alan Calder, founder and chief executive officer of IT Governance, said: “An increasing number of organizations worldwide are starting to recognize the need, benefits, and importance of an information security management system to prevent cyber crime. ISO 27001 allows organizations to prove their commitment to cybersecurity and achieve internationally recognized certification.”

ISO 27001 specifies the best-practice requirements of an information security management system (ISMS) and sets out an enterprise-wide approach to cybersecurity that encompasses people, processes, and technology. The Standard is designed to give businesses a structured and internationally recognized framework for demonstrating compliance with cybersecurity legislation.

“Many of our US-based customers choose ISO 27001 certification as a way to win business internationally while meeting other cybersecurity legislation compliance requirements. Certification is a key factor in gaining competitive advantage in the international marketplace,” Alan Calder continued.

IT Governance has led hundreds of ISO 27001 certifications around the world though fixed-price ISO 27001 packaged solutions. Moreover, organizations of all sizes and in all sectors can now use IT Governance’s expertise to implement the Standard through books, tools, and software, such as Nine Steps to Success – An ISO 27001 Implementation overview, IT Governance – An International Guide to Data Security and ISO 27001/ISO 27002, ISO 27001 ISMS Documentation toolkit, vsRisk Standalone – Basic and Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Test services.
