SO 27001:2022 is a globally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) that helps organizations systematically manage and protect their information security. The updated version responds to the rapidly changing threat landscape and increasing digitalization. It focuses on identifying and assessing risks and opportunities, strengthens management accountability, and integrates new requirements for cloud security and data protection. The standard also includes adjustments for modern threats, such as the security of IoT and Artificial Intelligence. Implementing ISO 27001:2022 enables companies to improve their security practices and meet regulatory requirements.
In 2018, EBCONT underwent its first ISO 27001 certification, and since then, a three-year certification cycle has been in place, including a certification audit and two surveillance audits.
The brand-new ISO 27001:2022 standard, with which the IT service provider has just been successfully certified, is divided into seven main chapters that define the structure and requirements of the ISMS.
By the end of January 2025, it was official: the Austrian IT company EBCONT now holds the certificate for its Information Security Management System according to ISO 27001:2022.
