Information Security Management System IS0 27001

If you are concerned about protection of assets especially information assets, Information Security Management System(ISMS) provides a control framework to protect the (information) assets. This combines management controls (such as ISMS framework, ISMS policy), technical controls (malware management, access controls, network perimeter, encryption), procedural controls (e.g. document management), personnel controls (e.g. background screening) to name a few. The controls combine preventive, detective, restorative, maintenance and monitoring controls.

Information is critical to the operation and perhaps even the survival of your organization. Being certified to ISO 27001 will help you to manage and protect your valuable information assets.

This helps you to protect your information assets and give confidence to any interested parties, especially your customers. The standard adopts a process approach for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving your Information Security Management System.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 is the International Standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It is based largely upon the previously adopted BS 7799 used commonly since 1995 for managing information security.

ISO 27001 provides the framework for a technology neutral, vendor-neutral management system that enables an organisation to assure itself that its information security measures are effective. This includes the continued accessibility, confidentiality and integrity of its own information and that of its stakeholders as well as legal compliance.

Implementation of ISO 27001 is an ideal response to legal requirements and potential security threats such as:

  • Vandalism / Terrorism
  • Fire
  • Misuse
  • Theft
  • Viral attack

ISO 27001 is structured to be easily compatible with other management systems standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Whilst there are some clause numbering differences, common elements include documentation, review and audit requirements, enabling an organisation to develop a largely integrated management system.

Whilst modern communication mediums mean that most Information Security Management System are focused on ICT, ISO 27001 is equally applicable to other forms of information, such as paper records, images, and even conversations.

Who is it relevant to?

ISO 27001 is suitable for any organization, large or small, in any sector or part of the world. The standard is particularly suitable where the protection of information is critical, such as in the finance, health, public and IT sectors.

ISO 27001 is also highly effective for organizations which manage information on behalf of others, such as IT outsourcing companies: it can be used to assure customers that their information is being protected.
