What are ISO 27001 and 27002?
ISO 27001 and 27002 are standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that focus on information security and defensive practices. These frameworks are among the most respected in the cybersecurity field, helping organizations enhance their security measures and establish authority in their industry.
Why is legislative adherence important?
Legislative adherence is crucial because data and security laws vary by country and can dictate how businesses manage sensitive information. For instance, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to companies with customers in the European Union, while the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) governs healthcare data in the United States. Understanding these laws is essential for compliance and avoiding legal repercussions.
What is the NIST framework?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a comprehensive framework focused on risk management and closing cybersecurity gaps across various sectors. The framework has been updated to address emerging cybersecurity risks and improve usability, making it easier for organizations to navigate compliance. NIST also offers educational resources and incorporates community feedback to refine its standards.
