Information is one of an organisation’s most valuable assets. The objectives of information security are to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data.

 

These fundamental elements of information security help to ensure that an organisation can protect against:  

    – Sensitive or confidential information being given away, leaked or otherwise exposed, both accidentally and deliberately; 

    – Personally identifiable information being compromised; 

    – Critical information being accidentally or intentionally modified without the organisation’s knowledge; 

    – Crucial business information being lost without a trace or hope of recovery; and 

    – Important business information being unavailable when needed. 

 

In this context, CERT-MU provides assistance to organisations  who wish to  implement an Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) based on ISO 27001 standard. This ensures that they have appropriate management processes and systems in place and that these conform to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 27001.
