The standard will help organisations drive information security initiatives forward, whilst ensuring effective governance of information security and alignment with business objectives.

Other benefits of adopting ISO 27014 include:
• Information security activities support and help businesses achieve their objectives
• There is accountability for information security within the organisation
• Expenditure on information security is proportionate, effective and delivers value
• Information risk is dealt with effectively
• There is constant awareness of the organisation's information security posture
• Businesses meet regulatory compliance requirements
