    How ESG and ISO27001:2022 ISO Certification interact to influence your business success

    How ESG and ISO27001:2022 ISO Certification interact to influence your business success

    In this episode you will find out, how to the ESG rating system and the newly released ISO27001:2022 ISO Certification interact to influence a company's ability to attrack funding and new key clients.

    ESG is putting a growing emphasis on Information Security and Green Cyber Security. This is eventually leading to an influencial factore that impacts a company's ability to get funding, new clients aor even reduce their insurance costs. The ESG Rating is negatively impacted if a business has no apparent efforts towards protecting personal data or implementing an information security management system (ISMS).

    Here Christian explains how the ISO 27001 Certification process would take place. It is a quick and easy explanation of the steps.  He explains that you do not need to overcomplicate the ISMS documentation. Security policies are ther to improve security but not make life hell for employees. Writting the ISMS Documentation is not an easy task for someone who isn't deep in the ISO world. That is why it is recommendable to get help from an ISO 27001 Consultant (https://acato.co.uk) so that you save time, pain and money.
