ISO 27001 is an international standard for an Information Security Management System, or ISMS, that specifies how to manage information security through risk assessment and continual improvement. An accredited body audits and certifies organizations against it. Unlike SOC 2, ISO 27001 results in a formal certificate recognized worldwide.
ISO 27001 is process-led. It requires you to build a risk-based management system, select controls (drawn from Annex A and ISO 27002), and prove you operate and improve them over time.
It is often preferred by buyers in Europe, the UK, and Asia, where SOC 2 carries less weight. Many companies pursue both, mapping the heavily overlapping controls once and presenting them to each audience.
