Ask HN: Is the ISO 27001 certification worth it?

ISO 27001 (https://ift.tt/1UaNeXW) certifies that information security is properly managed at a company or organisation. But the process of obtaining it is costly and time-consuming so I wanted to ask people who have experience with it: is it worth it?

If you're a company doing B2B sales, how often do prospective customers ask about the certificate? Does it ever make or break a deal? When did you decide that it's time to get it done?

Thanks!
