When it comes to information security, many people immediately think of antivirus software, passwords, and firewalls. However, information security is not limited to technological measures — it is closely connected to an organization’s management structure, human resources, process approach, and risk culture.
The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard is designed precisely to organize this comprehensive approach in a systematic way.
ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard that requires organizations to establish an Information Security Management System (ISMS) to protect their information assets.
The goal of the standard is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
No matter how advanced the technology is, employee behavior and weak internal processes are often among the main sources of risk.
For example:
– accidentally shared emails,
– weak passwords,
– or untrained personnel can all lead to information leaks.
That’s why ISO 27001 covers:
•    Information security policies,
•    Security training for employees,
•    Defining roles and responsibilities,
•    Security measures in human resource management.
ISO 27001 does not only require technical controls, but also the identification, assessment, and mitigation of risks.
Threats are not limited to hackers — they can also come from internal procedural errors or improper use of data.
Examples include:
•    Printed documents left on the printer,
•    Unencrypted files stored on shared servers,
•    Dormant user accounts of former employees still having system access.
The strength of ISO 27001 lies in its systematic approach — integrating not only technical controls but also management structure into the security framework.
With this system, you can:
•    Identify organizational vulnerabilities,
•    Define roles related to information security,
•    Prepare incident response plans.
Information security is no longer just the responsibility of the IT department — it is the responsibility of the entire organization.
ISO 27001 brings together technology, human factors, and governance under one system to ensure comprehensive and sustainable security.
Remember: The greatest threat is security without a system.
