The ISO 27001 Standard:​

ISO 27001 was developed to specify the requirements to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve in Information Security Management System. By implementing this standard, companies can achieve ISO 27001 Certification.

ISO 27001 uses many of the principles of ISO 9001, similar to other management system standards, such as ISO 17025 (Laboratories), ISO 13485 (Medical Devices).

ISO 27001 differentiates from ISO 9001 by specifying additional/other requirements that are specifically related to IT security.

Companies with ISO 27001 certification have an advantage over their competitors in the following areas:
  • A recognition of compliance by an independent and accredited certification body
  • Management systems and plans that meet an internationally recognized standard that ensures the best possible management systems and methods known in the industry
  • Better control and improvement through having established and approved management systems
  • A planned organization has a deeper level of management.
  • Product non-conformances and continual improvement
Relationship between ISO 27001 & CMMC Certification

Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification or CMMC is developed by the US Department of Defense. This framework enforces the existing Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements of the US Defense Department, which were set up in December 2017. The main aim of this certification is to provide safety for controlled unclassified information or CUI. The program is likely to be implemented in 2020 and will introduce a formal audit program for improving CUI security.

ISO 27001, on the other hand, belongs to the family of quality management standards developed and maintained by the International Organisation for Standardisation or ISO. The main goal of this certification is to increase reliability and security of the systems and information, enhancing the confidence of the customers and stakeholders, increasing business credibility, align security objectives with customer requirements, improve management processes, and integrate these processes with corporate risk strategies.

Entrepreneurs, CEOs, and senior managers often confuse CMMC Certification with ISO 27001 Certification. Though both standards are designed to improve cybersecurity, they do have many differences, such as:

 

An organization dealing with the Department of Defense will be able to achieve CMMC Certification. This certification is mandatory for a company that is willing to do business with the Department of Defense.

Any organization looking for a strong cybersecurity framework can voluntarily implement ISO 27001 Standard and achieve certification.

CMMC focuses on planning, engineering, and software development and maintenance. ISO 27001 focuses on uniformity and consistency of the Information Security Management System or ISMS.

Professional ISO 27001 Certification consultants are well aware of the subtle difference between CMMC Certification and ISO 27001 Certification.
