Introduction
We are seeing a global surge of interest in ISO 27001, as companies seek independent assurance over their information security controls. In addition to that, there is recent mandate by Kuwait Central Bank (CBK) to encourage all Financial Services Institutes to be ”ISO 27001” certified by December 2020.
Certification is a way to demonstrate that your organization is committed to managing cyber and information security risks, and operating effective controls. The ISO 27001 standard’s broad coverage, flexibility and business-led approach also means it has relevance across all industries and jurisdictions.

Our discussions with clients reveal few of critical questions organization ask themselves:
