d. What are the Benefits of Getting ISMS Certification?

• Certification is an attestation issued by a third-party body, through a formal conformity assessment process, that specified requirements (e.g. ISO/IEC 27001) are fulfilled.
• Internally, by adopting ISO/IEC 27001, it helps not only strengthening an organisation's security structure, but also better managing the organisation's information security and lowering risk exposure. With less chance of incidents being realised, it would reduce the time and resources spent on resolving issues that may arise.
• Externally, certification of ISMS to ISO/IEC 27001 allows an organisation to demonstrate that its information assets are adequately protected against information security risks. It gives greater confidence to its business partners, authorities, clients and other interested parties.
