ISO 27001 Status report

A navigation aid on the current state of information security in Austria

“This status report is not only unique in Austria, but also shows that ISO 27001 is gaining ground for the management of information security in all industries,” says Harald Erkinger, Managing Director of CIS.

Unique in Austria

This status report is the first of its kind in Austria (available only in German) and is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of the decision-making, implementation and operation of an information security management system in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard. ISO 27001 is the internationally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS) and plays a crucial role in protecting sensitive data and ensuring information security in companies and organisations. In an increasingly digital world, where threats from cyberattacks and data breaches are becoming more frequent, compliance with this standard is of great importance.

Valuable tool

Use this sound basis to assess your own position in terms of information security and let it show you ways in which organisations can strengthen their resilience to cyber threats. Ultimately, the report helps companies to better protect themselves and remain competitive in an increasingly complex and insecure digital world.
