The Importance of Insider Data Breach Prevention in an ISO 27001 Certified Accounting Firm
Information security in an accounting firm goes beyond protecting data from external threats. Internal failures, known as insider data breaches, also represent a significant risk. These incidents occur when employees, intentionally or by mistake, access or disclose sensitive information inappropriately. ISO 27001 certification plays a crucial role in preventing this type of breach.
The Role of ISO 27001 in Preventing Insider Data Breach
The ISO 27001 standard establishes an information security management system (ISMS) that helps prevent internal breaches. Among the measures implemented are:
- Access control: Only employees with a specific need have access to certain data, limiting the risk of misuse.
- Continuous monitoring Access and activity are regularly audited to detect suspicious behaviour.
- Information/Awareness Raising Employees receive regular training in good safety practices, which helps to prevent unintentional errors.
Advantages of Choosing a Certified Office
An ISO 27001-certified office not only protects data from external threats, but also implements robust strategies to prevent internal failures. For clients, this translates into greater confidence that their information is safe, both from external agents and from internal errors or actions.
