🔐 ISO 27001 Certification

DAS supports organisations in implementing ISO 27001 to help protect information assets and manage security risks effectively.

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard that provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It addresses the three key pillars of information security:

  • 🔏 Confidentiality
  • 📑 Integrity
  • 🌐 Availability

The design and scale of an ISMS will depend on an organisation’s objectives, risk profile, operational processes, and structure. ISO 27001 enables businesses to manage security in a structured, measurable, and adaptable way.
