Implementing ISO 27001 ISMS to Help Alignment with EU Cybersecurity Act

What is ISO 27001?

ISO/IEC 27001 establishes the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system within an organization. It also includes requirements for customized information security risk assessment and treatment based on organizational needs.

The ISO 27000 series of standards can help organizations ensure the security of their information assets. Using this series of standards will help your organization manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details, or information entrusted to you by third parties.

What is EU Cybersecurity Act?

The EU Cybersecurity Act is the result of an initiative launched by the European Parliament in 2017. Its goal is to establish a permanent institution to address cybersecurity threats, reduce the complexity of complying with the network security frameworks of each EU member state for businesses, and establish a common network security framework.

Pace up with EU

According to report of Schellman, the EU Cybersecurity Act will assess whether specific plans should be implemented mandatorily for certain high-risk ICT products, services, or processes y 2023. Additionally, if another EU regulation or member state requires a cybersecurity certification scheme, that scheme will be necessary as it replaces all certification schemes of each EU member state.
