Even if you think your data is not of interest to cybercriminals, because you do not store, for example, customer payment card data, this does not mean that your systems do not need protection. ISO 27001 describes how the elements of an organization can be linked together and the elements and means of protection can be combined into a single system.

During certification, auditors checked documents, met with employees of different departments, analyzing not only the technical side of data protection, but also the organizational one – the process of hiring, firing and training. They also watched the work process: they checked whether workers were blocking the monitor screen when leaving the workplace, what programs they used and how, and most importantly, where they stored data (not on flash drives – it was proven). Auditors paid special attention to the work of the IT department.
