ISO 27001:2022 Certification in India
ISO 27001:2022 is the global standard for information security management. With India's DPDP Act 2023 now in force, every IT company, SaaS provider, fintech, and BPO handling personal data needs to demonstrate information security controls. ISO 27001 is the most widely accepted proof — and it's increasingly mandatory for banking, healthcare and government IT tenders.
What is ISO 27001:2022?
ISO 27001:2022 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a comprehensive framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving information security within organisations. In India's rapidly digitising economy, where the Information Technology Act 2000 (amended) and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act) set the regulatory baseline, ISO 27001 certification has become critical for businesses handling sensitive data.
