In a significant stride towards enhancing its information security management, COOLSPIRiT has successfully transitioned from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022 with the certification body, BSI (British Standards Institution). This transition marks an important moment for our company, reflecting our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of information security in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
The Transition Journey
The transition from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022 is not merely a procedural update but a comprehensive overhaul that aligns with the latest advancements in information security. The new standard introduces several key changes, including updated controls and a stronger emphasis on risk management and cybersecurity. COOLSPIRiT’s journey involved thorough planning, extensive training, and a deep review of existing processes to ensure compliance with the new requirements.
Benefits of Transitioning to ISO 27001:2022
