Information security is a critical pillar for the operation of any organization in the digital age. With the exponential growth of digital data and the proliferation of cyber threats, it is essential for businesses and institutions to adopt systematic methods for protecting their information. Security is not only about technology, but also about processes, human resources, and strategic risk management.
Key international standards applied in the field of information security include ISO/IEC 27001, which sets out the requirements for establishing and implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS), and ISO/IEC 27701, which extends ISO 27001 with a focus on the protection of personal data, in line with the GDPR. Specifically for the healthcare sector, ISO/IEC 27799 provides guidelines for protecting health-related information. In addition, ISO/IEC 20000 focuses on the management of IT services, enhancing the overall quality and security of IT service delivery.
Beyond standards, critical services such as penetration testing, security audits (internal or external), and vulnerability assessments help organizations identify weaknesses, prevent attacks, and strengthen their defensive capabilities.
The integration of international standards and specialized security services is an investment in an organization’s reputation, compliance, and resilience. Prevention, through structured policies and controls, is always more effective and less costly than dealing with the aftermath of a security breach.
