ISO 27001
Chief Information Officer
Are you certain your information security policy is watertight?
With the rise of the information economy, information is now the most valuable asset of any organisation and if it is not safeguarded this can have long-lasting and serious consequences on an organisation’s reputation, brand perception, revenue and profitability. Therefore, for businesses competing in a global marketplace, the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of information is of paramount importance.
In the last two years alone, 62 per cent of UK businesses suffered a security incident and the number of reported incidents suffered by affected businesses rose 50 per cent, with the average costs associated with each security incident also rising 20 per cent.*
In addition, the penalties for failing to comply with legal and regulatory requirements are increasing; the UK’s largest building society was recently fined close to £1 million for exposing customers to the risk of financial crime, following the theft of a laptop containing confidential customer data.
As a Chief Information Officer, it’s your responsibility to manage the development and implementation of your organisation’s information security policy, including the people, technologies and processes required to manage information security throughout your organisation.
