About ISO/IEC 27001:2022

ISO/IEC 27001 strengthens a business management system by embedding information security into everyday operations. It protects sensitive data, reduces cyber risks, and supports regulatory compliance while minimising legal and financial exposure. The standard improves process control, accountability, and risk-based decision-making across departments. It also helps build customer and stakeholder trust, enhances organisational credibility, and supports business continuity.

Scope of Certification

The Information Security Management System of Andersen Nigeria covers the provision of professional services including Tax, Corporate and Commercial Advisory, Regulatory and Data Protection Services, and Technology-enabled Solutions such as e-invoicing platforms, Transfer Pricing, and Business Advisory Services, delivered through its Practice Groups and supported by the Practice Management Group, across its Lagos and Abuja offices.
