The transition from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022 introduces several key improvements that are vital for the evolving security landscape. These enhancements include the integration of threat intelligence, robust security measures for cloud services, improved ICT readiness for business continuity, enhanced configuration management, data leakage prevention, and secure coding practices. By adopting these new measures, SimCentric has strengthened its overall information security posture, ensuring it can better protect sensitive data and adapt to emerging threats in today’s digital environment.

He stated, “The upgrade to ISO 27001:2022 has significantly enhanced our information security framework by incorporating advanced threat intelligence, ensuring our readiness for business continuity, and tightening our security around cloud services. These improvements have not only fortified our defenses against cyber threats but have also strengthened our internal operations, improving our ability to respond swiftly to incidents and manage risks more effectively.

The journey to ISO 27001:2022 certification involved a comprehensive evaluation of SimCentric’s existing security practices, leading to substantial internal improvements. This process included rigorous internal audits, staff training, and the establishment of a robust risk management framework. These efforts have resulted in a more resilient organization, better equipped to protect both internal and client data from potential threats.
