ISMS and ISO 27001: Trust through Security
An ISMS (Information Security Management System) allows you to implement a comprehensive security strategy that enhances the trust of customers and business partners. An ISO 27001 certification is the internationally recognized proof that the organization systematically and effectively manages its information security. For companies looking to make their security measures visible, this serves as a clear signal that security is taken seriously.
Compliance and legal security across borders
An ISMS not only helps meet the requirements of ISO 27001 but also the compliance mandates of regulations such as the Swiss Information Security Act and NIS2. It is not always necessary to aim for full certification; you can specifically implement the relevant aspects of the standard to ensure legal protection while establishing consistent security standards across borders.
Systematic Implementation of Data Protection Compliance
A well-structured ISMS also facilitates compliance with data protection regulations by ensuring that the processing of personal data is transparent and documented. This helps you clearly demonstrate that all necessary measures have been taken to minimize penalties and protect the organization from legal consequences in the event of disputes or data breaches.
Effectively Defending Against Ransomware and Cyber Attacks
Attacks such as ransomware pose a constant threat, and defending against them requires a well-coordinated, comprehensive security strategy. With an ISMS, CISOs can drastically reduce the risk of successful attacks by connecting all security-related processes and systematically addressing vulnerabilities. Should an attack still occur, an ISMS helps to enhance resilience and enable a rapid recovery of operations.
Business Continuity Management based on an ISMS
An ISMS provides a solid foundation for Business Continuity Management (BCM), which is essential in times of crisis. It helps you capture and document all necessary information, from asset classification to risk assessment and emergency planning. An ISMS and a good BCM are inseparably linked, ensuring that companies remain operational even in crisis situations and can quickly restore their business processes.

FAQ ISMS & ISO 27001
-
What is an ISMS (Information Security Management System)?
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a systematic documentation of stakeholders, requirements, assets, processes, and interfaces of an organization or a part of it, aimed at reducing the security risk for the processed information to an acceptable level. It focuses on ensuring the three aspects of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data at all times.
With a continuous improvement process, the team systematically works to maintain this protection, address new threats, and learn from security incidents or mistakes. -
Does my company need an ISMS? Are technical security measures not sufficient?
Many companies hesitate to establish an ISMS and feel well-protected with technical measures such as a firewall, endpoint security, and ZTNA. However, many human factors that make the organization vulnerable are underestimated.
A tailored ISMS helps address these risks, clearly communicate security requirements, and improve internal processes accordingly.
Together with effective security awareness measures, you can achieve a level of security that allows you to protect and expand your core business.
-
Why am I receiving so many inquiries from our customers about our company's information security measures?
As part of the compliance requirements under NIS2 and ISG, companies and organizations across many industries are obligated to demonstrate the security of their supply chains. Accordingly, they must be able to prove an appropriate level of security for their suppliers and sub-suppliers. An ISMS helps you efficiently respond to these inquiries.
-
Does the Swiss Information Security Law require the implementation of an ISMS or an ISO 27001 certification?
No, the ISG and the associated ISV regulation do not formally require an ISMS. However, an ISMS according to ISO 27001 meets all the requirements to comply with the ISG and ISV. Certification of the ISMS according to ISO 27001 is not mandatory but can be very helpful in demonstrating proper implementation in a legal dispute.
-
Does an ISMS also help me with the implementation of NIS2
The EU Network and Information Security 2 (NIS2) directive is similar to the Swiss Information Security Law. NIS2 is implemented through implementation laws in each country. An ISMS is very helpful in making the process efficient and structured. A central description of the information security measures allows for demonstrating compliance with the requirements from the various paragraphs in each country by referring to the central implementation in the ISMS. This helps to avoid duplication and inconsistencies while maintaining a clear ISMS.
