ISO 27001 - Information Security Management System
ISO 27001 defines how to manage information security through a series of information security management.

Do: Implement the planned processes.
Check: Monitor the functioning of the ISMS and measure if the results meet the set objectives.
Act: Take action to continually improve effectiveness on things that were identified as non-compliant in the previous phase.
