PlexTrac ConceptsISO 27001

The ISO 27001 is an international framework for information security management systems (ISMS) that provides guidelines for security policies, procedures, and controls. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for a variety of management system standards. ISO 27001 is one of the most used standards in the world for infosec, cybersecurity, and data privacy.

Although the ISO 27001 certification isn’t required for US organizations, many organizations choose to be certified to enhance their security. To be ISO 27001 certified, organizations must prove they have a robust cybersecurity model, maintain security training for all necessary staff, and conduct regular audits.

Those who benefit the most from ISO 27001 include:

• Organizations that maintain personal and confidential information
• Highly-regulated industries like healthcare or finance
• Organizations that want to gain trust and demonstrate they have a robust security system

Effective cybersecurity frameworks, such as ISO 27001, require frequent assessments. Whether your assessments are required for certification, for compliance, or you’re just keeping up with security best practices, PlexTrac can help streamline your assessment process.

PlexTrac’s Assessments module offers up-to-date questionnaire templates for many standard framework assessments and also allows you to create custom templates that you can implement, update, and integrate into your overall pentesting and risk assessment process.

Some of the most commonly used assessments conducted within PlexTrac include: 

• CMMC 2.0
• NIST 800-53
• NIST CSF
• CISv8
• ISO 27001
• FFIEC
• NYDFS 

Thanks to the Assessments module, pentesting teams and security consultants can consolidate their offensive testing and assessment processes into one platform — and eliminate cumbersome spreadsheets.
