ISO 27001 KPI

ISO 27001 KPIs are measures of your company’s ISMS efficiency and effectiveness.

These measurements or metrics can be employed to assess the effectiveness of your company’s incident response, access control, and other practices. These metrics reveal the areas that should be run at an acceptable efficiency level.

The following are some of the KPIs:

  • Time taken for incident response
  • Employee Training and Awareness Time
  • Adherence to various password policies
  • Adherence to access control policies

Other KPIs for ISO 27001 include training and awareness made to your employees, access control management, incidence response time taken, and correct implementation of encryption keys. Also, the quality of the asset management process put in place and operational efficiency when potential breaches occur, among others, do demand consideration.

Hence, these KPIs enhance the overall security framework of your enterprise as they compare currently implemented security mechanisms to ISO 27001 standards.
