We will not only restrict this topic to the same but also discuss its specifications, advantages of getting ISO 27001 certified, and many more which in some way I believe will clear some of your doubts regarding this topic. Let me start by explaining about ISO, ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization which is the most popular and trusted organization at the global level which is involved in the process of setting standards that are market relevant and help consumers as well as manufacturers. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and has members from across 165 countries that meet annually at the General Assembly.
Specifics of ISO 27001:2013
ISO 27001:2013 (Information Security Management System) standard is dedicated to those organizations who wish to keep the data of their organization safe and secured under management control. It sets guidelines for keeping effective data management policies in place so that the data of the organization cannot be modified, altered, or deleted without the intervention of moderators.
Data safety is a very crucial aspect for any organization, with continuous advancement in technology and an increase in the number of active internet users, data theft has become a serious issue in recent times. So, the need of the hour is to have a better data architecture that complies with international policies, hence ISO 27001 in Qatar helps achieve this feat in The state of Qatar.

It is a preliminary process and a kind of informal review that helps to understand the data and security policies of the organization. This step helps auditors as well as the organization to get familiarize with the data management and information security policies of the organization.
2. Audit
This step is a more formal documentation process where compliance with the Information Security Management System (ISMS) is checked with the organization, as a data security team review, the data policies, and all the shortcomings are rectified and made to comply with ISO norms.
3. Certification
After both the process of preliminary examination and completion of audit reports, finally, the organization is ISO 27001:2013 certified and provided with the certification.
There’s an additional step which is the follow-up, which is a kind of review in which the compliance of the organization to the standard is reviewed and it is done annually during the lifetime of the certification.
