ISO 27001 advocates the use of an Information Security Management System (an ISMS for short), which is made up of a standardised set of policies, processes and procedures to enable you to identify what information needs to be protected, what types of protection you require and what mitigating actions can be taken to address any identified risks. In effect, your ISMS outlines the approach you take to managing your information security.
Thank you that was great! We've already started work on review the controls - hadn't picked up on the change to risk management approach that this will drive so thank you for highlighting that!
Thinking about ISO 27001 but unsure how your project should take shape?
We offer a free, no‑commitment call to help you clarify your certification pathway, understand the standard in the context of your business.
