ISO/IEC 27001:2022 represents a significant update from the 2013 version, incorporating updated controls and best practices that address the latest security threats and vulnerabilities. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, organizations must stay ahead of potential risks by adopting the most current standard.
SK Tes plans to migrate all its global locations to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard within the next six months. This comprehensive effort will enhance the overall resilience of the company’s information systems worldwide.
To comply with ISO 27001, SK Tes has implemented several key requirements, including conducting risk assessments, developing risk treatment plans, establishing policies and objectives aligned with business goals, and implementing controls covering access control, data protection, incident management, physical and network security, cryptography, and supplier relationships.
A significant advantage of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is its alignment with other modern management system standards, facilitating integration with existing systems like ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, which SK Tes also holds at all facilities.
By achieving this updated certification, SK Tes demonstrates its dedication to safeguarding information against unauthorized access, breaches, and other cyber threats.
