GCS the first school district in nation to earn ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for cyber security

Greenville County Schools became the first school district in the nation to earn ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security.

The ISO/IEC 27001 standard provides organizations with guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system. Meeting the ISO/IEC 27001 requirements means Greenville County Schools has a system in place to manage risks related to the security of district data and that the system respects all the best practices and principles.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
