Implementation of ISO 27001:2005 clearly demonstrates the validity of information and a real commitment to upholding information security. The set up and certification of an ISMS can also transform corporate culture both internally and externally, opening up new business opportunities with security conscious customers/clients, in addition to improving employee ethics and the notion of confidentiality throughout the workplace. Enforcement of information security reduces the possible risk of fraud, information loss and disclosure.
