Q) Why should our company pursue ISO 27001 certification?
A) Every company has different needs and requirements. ISO 27001certification would strongly benefit those companies who deal with sensitive information which could ultimately damage the company’s reputation if their systems were to be hacked into. Often, some customers regard a company’s security as the most important factor in influencing their decision to use a particular company. ISO 27001 can be used to give your customers a sense of security as the certification provides confidence that the company’s systems are secure from both ethical hacking, theft and misuse.

Q) What is PCI? Does my company need it?
A) PCI Compliance is an abbreviation for Payment Card Industry. If your company holds any sensitive customer data, such as personal bank card numbers, you may need to change your processes, applications and security procedures to comply with PCI. KOMS 17 can help companies who store, process, or transmit cardholder data become PCI compliant.
Q) Should our company consider Pen Testing?
A) Penetration Testing, more commonly known as Pen Testing, is where ethical hacking will be conducted by a licensed third party. A company’s security can be the most crucial factor of its success. Unethical hacking can leave your sensitive data open to misuse and fraudulent use. This can ultimately jeopardise your company’s reputation. KOMS 17 can help companies test the security of their software and hardware by ethically hacking into their systems, using personal staff passwords. This will determine the feasibility of an attack and the risk to the security of the data. This is a component of a full security audit.
