ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's most widely recognized standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Most recently revised in 2022, it specifies how an organization establishes, operates, and continually improves a risk-based system of security controls, and it is certifiable, so companies use it to prove their security posture to customers and regulators across borders. Where SOC 2 is the dominant attestation in North America, ISO 27001 is the certification most often required internationally.
It is also the template for the newer management-system standards: ISO/IEC 42001 for AI was deliberately built to align with it, so an ISO 27001 program is frequently the foundation a company extends into AI and privacy governance. Roles that require it want people who can build and run an ISMS, manage the control set, and carry an organization through certification and surveillance audits.
