ISO/IEC 27001 is a part of a growing family of ISO/IEC standards. The 'ISO/IEC 27000 series' is an information security management system (ISMS) standard published in October 2005 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its full form is ISO/IEC 27001:2005 - Information technology: Security techniques: Information security management systems: but it is commonly known as ‘ISO 27001’.

The ISO/IEC 27001 certification deals with establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Since a data center hosts critical data, a sophisticated and rigorous ISMS is absolutely essential. Certification by an independent third party gives the confidence to the customers of Netmagic that their data is safe and secure within the company.
