What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an international standard established in 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It defines the requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS), providing a framework for organizations to manage information security risks and enhance data protection.
While ISO 27001 certification is not mandatory, Monek chose to pursue it to strengthen our commitment to safeguarding customer data.
