It builds trust in sales conversations, reduces legal exposure, and creates discipline in how teams handle data, access, and incidents. For many companies, ISO 27001 is no longer "nice to have." It is becoming an entry requirement to win business, especially in technology, healthcare, finance, telecom, e-commerce, and service delivery.
