You want to focus on providing your products and services to your customers. Computers, internet and scanners help you to work faster, cheaper and better qualitatively. Information is shared with suppliers and clients. You are making a lot of profit and your business is doing great!

However, there are disadvantages to working like this. Think about becoming too dependant on the systems you are using to help your organization. Not just your systems, but also those of suppliers and customers. It is also important to pay attention to the confidentiality of documents. Your company secrets and those of customers might fall in the hands of other parties. Criminals can acquire the information of people through which these people may be harmed. The integrity of the information should also not be forgotten. You have to make decisions on the basis of the right information. You have to make sure that this does not escape your attention.

Our world has become very dependant of digitalisation. To make sure this is done correctly, several initiatives have been started to avoid any problems. New rules and laws are made to ensure the safety of people. Think about laws on topics such as data leakages and the protection of information.

Several pressure groups have set up demands regarding information security in specific sectors. Known examples are IT risk assessments in the government of The Netherlands.

Your clients acknowledge that they are dependant on how well you protect them in your company. To make sure that you strive to keep their information safe they will also ask for specific measures that should be followed by you. Currently there are trends that require companies to acquire ISO 27001 certification in order to show customers that their information is handled according to specific rules.

Of course, you might be worried yourself about threats from inside- and outside your company. For example, the risk of being hacked by cybercriminals or information theft by one of your employees.
