In order to be awarded a BSI certificate of registration for your Information Security Management System, you must pass an assessment by a BSI auditor to the standard ISO/IEC 27001:2005 (formerly BS 7799 Part 2). BSI registration of your ISMS delivers a number of valuable benefits:

Credibility, trust and confidence
Your customers can feel confident of your commitment to keeping their information safe.

Cost Savings
The cost of a single information security breach can often be in excess of $150,000. Registration reduces the risk of such cost being incurred and this is important to stakeholders and other investors in your business.

Legal Compliance
Registration helps to show the authorities that you comply with all the relevant laws and regulations.

Commitment
Registration helps to ensure and demonstrate commitment at all levels of the organization.

Operating Level Risk Management
Leads to a better knowledge of information systems, their weaknesses and how to protect them. Equally, it ensures a more dependable availability of both hardware and data.

Employee
Improves employee awareness of security issues and their responsibilities within the organization.

Continual Improvement
The regular assessment process will help you to continually use, monitor and improve your management system and processes
