Why is information security important?
Information security is crucial for various reasons. It ensures that:
- Confidentiality: Confidential information remains private and is only accessible to authorized individuals, preventing sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands.
- Integrity: Information remains accurate and complete and is not altered or manipulated in any way, ensuring the reliability of the data.
- Availability: Information is available to those who need it, when they need it. This minimizes disruptions and ensures that important data is accessible when essential for operational processes.
Maintaining these three pillars of information security - confidentiality, integrity, and availability - is vital to ensure data security and the continuity of business operations. This is illustrated by the ISO 27001 certification, also known as the Information Security Management System (ISMS) certificate, which demonstrates compliance with these important information security requirements.
