The conventional view is that security is a necessary cost that eats into profitability. The reality is that a secure network allows you to deploy more productive and cost–saving applications and services, which can reduce costs and drive competitive strength and profitability. For example, security is a final critical step on the road to virtualisation.

The decisive difference

The ISO27001 standard adds another dimension of opportunity to a security deployment. Increasing numbers of large enterprises and public sector organisations are stipulating ISO27001 Certification as a prerequisite for any contract. This means that ISO 27001 Certified businesses will have a decisive competitive advantage over those who cannot prove that they meet the requirements within the standard.

LAN2LAN has been helping organisations achieve and maintain the ISO27001 Certified standard since it was introduced. We know the language, the process, the pitfalls and the rewards. We also know that, even if you do not have a contractual obligation to be certified for the standard, it is a valuable way of getting robust, effective and manageable security into the fabric of your organisation.

We can help you formulate the policies and procedures your organisation needs to become ISO27001 Certified. It is a process that can touch every area of operation, including IT, human resources, facilities management and your legal team, but it does not have to be lengthy, arduous or disruptive. It can also contribute to your Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity planning, taking into account BS25999, the British Standard for DR and BC.

ISO27001 Certification protects your infrastructure and your business from a multitude of threats, both online and in the real world, while mitigating risk and giving you genuine commercial advantage. Talk to us about how it is achieved, quickly and with expert management and control.
