In an increasingly digitized and connected world, information security has become an essential issue for companies and organizations. ISO 27001 certification offers a solid response to this challenge, guaranteeing the implementation of a robust information security management system. In this article, we’ll look at what ISO 27001 certification is, what it guarantees, and how it fits in with the e-invoicing reform.
What is ISO 27001 certification?
ISO 27001 is an international standard defined by theInternational Organization for Standardization, covering information security management within organizations. This standard was developed to help businesses identify, analyze and implement adequate security measures to protect their sensitive data and information.
The main aim of ISO 27001 is to provide a systematic and coherent framework for managing information security risks, taking into account both technical and organizational aspects. This comprehensive approach enables companies to implement processes tailored to their specific needs, while complying with information security best practices.
ISO 27001 certification guarantees
ISO 27001 certification provides several essential guarantees for the organizations that obtain it:
- Information confidentiality: ISO 27001 helps businesses protect sensitive and confidential information from unauthorized access. This includes both internal company data and that of clients or partners.
- Data integrity: ISO 27001 aims to ensure that data is not modified in an unauthorized manner, thereby ensuring its accuracy and reliability.
- Information availability: The standard ensures that critical information remains available to authorized stakeholders, preventing any major disruption to data activities.
- Risk management: ISO 27001 certification encourages a proactive approach to risk management, identifying potential threats to information security and putting controls in place to mitigate them.
- Regulatory compliance: By adopting ISO 27001, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to compliance with information security regulations.
Implication of ISO 27001 certification in the reform of electronic invoicing
The e-invoicing reform, initially scheduled for 2024, aims to modernize and simplify the invoicing process by promoting its transition to electronic format. This transition to electronic invoicing offers many advantages, not least in terms of efficiency and reduced environmental footprint.
However, with the increasing digitization of commercial exchanges, data security is becoming a major concern. That’s why ISO 27001 certification is a prerequisite for Partner Dematerialization Platforms.
In order to be registered as a PDP, service providers must meet strict specifications. This includes obtaining this certification. This guarantees a certain level of security for these electronic invoicing solutions.
For your information, on July 28, 2023, the French government announced the postponement of the introduction of mandatory electronic invoicing. The date of the postponement should be announced in September.
