ISO/IEC 27001 is now the most noted international standard for information security.
If you currently have other management system standards. It will blend into those existing.
Clauses 4.1 and 4.2 allow the organisation to overview the business and consider the critical internal and external factors that impact security.
The Annex 'A' guidance in ISO 27002 explains this very well:
All business management systems require addressing and evaluating both risks and opportunities. Allowing a business to increase its effectiveness and achieve its intended results. The issues of interest involve the organisation's ability to achieve the strategic objectives for its information security management system, which include meeting its security policy commitments.
one of the best approaches is to Adopt, Adapt or Create for many businesses this is by far the easiest way forward to the task ahead.
Adopt – Many businesses have developed policies, procedures and work instructions, the majority of which will be suitable for ISO27001. In some instances, companies you work with have given you guidelines or techniques that you must follow. Your employees will have brought the best practice to the business and therefore have good ways of working.
Adapt – one of the best ways to develop your ISMS. The policies and procedures you have may require amendments to demonstrate they work for your business. Alternatively, it could mean that you have acquired them through a merger.
Create - The start from scratch way to develop ISO 27001 is, for some companies, complex and time-consuming. The advantage will be a bespoke set of policies and processes that meet your needs.
For any business management system, one of the critical areas that require addressing is the evaluation of both risks and opportunities. Allowing a business to increase its effectiveness and achieve its intended results.
So, what does ISO27001 require a business to consider:
Improving supply chain management poses essential challenges to today's businesses. Good supply chain management provides added value by better understanding risks and opportunities.
ISO 27001 Supply chain management allows for more powerful leverage and control over suppliers, with increased security and suitability of products and services provided. More importantly, secure operational costs with improved reliability and reputation.
Here are some of the areas you should consider:
Cloud computing has now become the norm for all sizes of businesses. Increasingly, companies rely on cloud providers to understand and take control of a business's data, security, and recovery requirements.
The issue faced by businesses is not one the cloud providers necessarily need to address or understand, that of your business and how it operates. Obtaining the right product and service from a provider is vital. Remember that your data and your business will be held to account if anything goes wrong by your customer and the authorities.
So, what are some of the critical areas ISO27001 considers are as follows:
The requirements of the information security standard rely upon clauses 4.1 through to 10.2. You may choose to implement the Annex 'A' controls A.5 to A.18, subject to your risk assessment and treatment plan work.
Suppose you want to achieve ISO27001 to meet all the core ISO27001 requirements. One of the fundamental core requirements (6.1) is identifying, assessing, evaluating, and treating information security risks. The risk assessment and management process will help decide the number of ISO27001 Annex 'A' controls a company will choose. And may need to be applied to manage those information security-oriented risks.
Some organisations may choose not to take their Information Security Management System to certification but align to the ISO27001 standard. To meet internal pressures of crucial stakeholders externally who increasingly look for the assurances a UKAS (or similar accredited certification body) independently certified ISO27001 provides.
Security issues and concerns drive the audit programme, the scope, e.g. locations, depts, processes, products, etc., and taking into account the Statement of Applicability, previous findings and risks, an audit is not just an exercise.
You will have to demonstrate annual audits have covered the Clauses. Over time, all the controls in Annex A at least once during the 3-year ISO27001 certification cycle.
The approach we take to support your company and the need for certification is provided. Our standard audit programme helps ensure that audits represent business requirements. Overall, audits must be business-led and 'real' for people to buy into it as a good investment and make the audit meaningful.
Our Pre-Assessment services allow an organisation to evaluate the scope of its compliance and understand future work packages in improving your management system.
An ISO27001 Pre-Assessment visit will review compliance and readiness for undertaking a certification programme.
The scope of the pre-assessment will consist of:
