Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) compliant with ISO 27001 can be certified by Accredited Registrars (aka Certifying Bodies) worldwide.
In most organizations, where they have not adopted ISMS or any other comprehensive information security management systems standard, security controls seems to have been adopted or implemented as a ‘point solution’ to meet certain specific security challenges. These solutions tend to be haphazard, disjointed, not-comprehensive and not-interconnected. Often times these solutions typically address IT systems or data security issues only and does not address security vulnerabilities within non-IT information assets (e.g.paper file racks) or physical security infrastructure. Issues connected to Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery Planning, HR etc, that do not have day-to-day security impacts seems to fall through the cracks when security is done without a proper framework.
It is important to point out that ISO/IEC 27001 covers more than just IT. The framework and the controls cover all aspects that are connected with security of information and information processing facilities.
