Sahyadri Pharma Ltd wants a certifiable management system for protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of its information through risk-based controls, and wants an external auditor to certify it. Which standard best fits this need?

ISO/IEC 27001 is the right choice because it sets requirements for an Information Security Management System built on risk assessment, protecting confidentiality, integrity and availability, and it can be certified by an external auditor. ISO 9001 and 14001 cover quality and environment instead.

  2. BISO 9001
  3. CISO 14001
  4. DISO 22301 only for physical plant safety

Explanation

ISO/IEC 27001 specifies requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on risk assessment and is certifiable by external auditors. ISO 9001 addresses quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management. ISO 22301 concerns business continuity, not a general ISMS.
