IT Governance urges SA organisations to implement ISO27001 as internet fraud and phishing becomes a major problem for the country.

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, November 6, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Internet fraud and phishing – fraudulently attempting to acquire sensitive data by encouraging Internet users to click on malicious links – is a major problem in South Africa. It is the second most targeted country in the world for such attacks and, according to the South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC), South Africans lost R2.2 billion to phishing scams last year.

IT Governance Ltd, the global supplier of information security solutions, urges South African organisations to prevent phishing attacks and protect their data assets by implementing the international standard for information security management, ISO27001.

Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, commented: “ISO27001 uniquely provides a holistic approach to information security that addresses people and processes as well as technology. An ISO27001-compliant information security management system (ISMS) will allow you to take preventative steps to ensure that your employees are aware of the impact that online dangers could have on your business as well as reassuring your clients and stakeholders that you take your information security obligations seriously. Information security is critical for all South African enterprises. ISO27001 offers the only credible solution.”

All South African organisations can protect their confidential data by deploying world-class information security management systems aligned with the ISO27001. IT Governance is a leader in the field of ISO27001 implementation, having helped hundreds of organisations to achieve certification to the Standard.

South African enterprises looking to achieve ISO27001 certification can now take advantage of IT Governance’s We’ll Do It For You ISO27001 implementation package, which offers FastTrack consultancy services for organisations with 19 or fewer employees, or a mixture of hands-on and in-house mentor and coach consultancy for larger organisations.
