When information and cybersecurity should work — not just documented
Many organizations want to use ISO 27001 to create structure and direction.
But often get caught up in the same questions:
How ambitious can we be — without burdening the business?
Should we follow ISO 27001 exactly, or use it as a framework?
How does it become more than policies and documents?
How do we get on with management and operations?
Who holds the work together over time?
In short: how do we get an information security management system actually in use?

Mölndal City – enhancing information security quality
Mölndal City's Health and Social Care Administration is responsible for decisions and follow-up in areas including home healthcare, elderly care, and social psychiatry. Following a review of its information security efforts, a collaboration with DirSys was initiated to strengthen the quality and systematic follow-up of information security.
“In our collaboration with DirSys, it became very clear what steps an administration must take regarding information security. It's not just about risk analyses and classifications; you have to break it down further. It's a big job that requires a lot of commitment and involvement from each department. It's not something you can do alone.”
FAQs on ISO 27001 and Information Security Management Systems
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is an international standard for how organizations should work systematically with information security. It describes how an information security management system (LIS) should be built, managed and followed up — focusing on risk, responsibility and continuous improvement.
What is an Information Security Management System (LIS)?
An LIS is the structure that makes information security a part of business management. It is also available to measure the performance of your systematic information security work.
It includes, among other things:
- risk analysis
- governing documents and procedures
- Roles and Responsibilities
- follow-up and improvement
ISO 27001 is a framework for how a LIS can be designed and used in practice.
Do you have to be certified according to ISO 27001?
The No. Many organizations use ISO 27001 as a guide without certifying themselves.
The standard works just as well as support to:
- create structure in information security work
- demonstrate maturity towards customers and partners
- meet regulatory and procurement requirements
We help you choose the right level of ambition — with or without certification.
What is the difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 27002?
ISO 27001 describes how a management system should be built and controlled.
ISO 27002 contains concrete safety measures that can be used to manage identified risks.
Together, they provide both structure and content in information security work.
How does ISO 27001 relate to legal requirements such as NIS2 and GDPR?
ISO 27001 is not a legal requirement, but it provides a way of working that makes it much easier to comply with laws such as NIS2 and GDPR.
A working LIS helps you to:
- Identify and manage risks
- demonstrate governance and responsibility
- Follow up on security measures over time
It creates order even as demands increase.
For which organisations are ISO 27001 and LIS suitable?
ISO 27001 and an LIS are suitable for organizations that:
- handle sensitive or business-critical information
- meet increased demands from customers, legislation or procurement
- wants to work in a long-term and structured way with information security
This applies to both the public and private sectors — regardless of size.
