ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) - Requirements

 

Overview

Information Security (or, more accurately, Information Assurance), is founded on three major concepts, i.e. Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA), plus Non-repudiation. Managing these concepts is critical and, as information has increasingly become one of the modern currencies of society, it is the retention of assurance in an appropriate and cost-effective manner that has become of keen interest to businesses in all sectors, of all sizes and in all locations.

What is an ISMS?

Definition: an Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a:

  • Set of policies, processes, and procedures, for systematically managing an organization's sensitive data.

  • Systematic approach to managing sensitive company information (assets) so that it remains secure.

 

Goal: to minimize risk and ensure business continuity by pro-actively limiting the impact of a security breach. 

Scope: an ISMS includes people, processes, data, information, and IT systems

An ISMS can:

  • Be focused on a particular type of data, such as customer data, or employee data

  • Be implemented in a comprehensive way, that becomes part of the company's culture

  • Help small, medium and large businesses, in any industry sector keep information assets secure.

ISO/IEC 27000 Series - Information Security Management Systems

 

The ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards:

  • Helps organizations keep information assets secure.

  • Helps your organization to manage the security of assets, such as financial information,

      intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted to you by third parties.

 

ISO 27000: Overview and Vocabulary, is a standard in the ISO 27000 series.

ISO 27001

 

The ISO 27001 standard:

  • Sets out the requirements for an ISMS

  • Is the only standard in the family that can be certified to (although this is not a requirement)

  • Offers more flexibility in terms of the information risk assessment methodology than the older version of the standard

  • Introduced a new concept: the risk owner (“person or entity with the accountability and authority to manage a risk” -  ISO 27000).

  • Can be used by any organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity.

 

Using ISO 9001 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits.

Certification to ISO 27001

Checking that the Information Security Management System (ISMS) is correctly implemented, and is effective in meeting the set objectives is very important.

 

To ensure that the ISMS is functioning properly, it is strongly recommended that an organization performs regular

internal audits.

It is a business decision to:

  • Invite an independent certification body (registrar), to verify that the ISMS is in conformity to the ISO 27001: 2013

      standard; however, this is not a requirement.

  • Invite its clients to audit the ISMS for themselves.
