Key Themes of
Information Security Management
Risk Assessment & Risk Treatment
The ISO 27001 standard takes a risk management approach to information security and therefore requires the organisation to define a risk assessment methodology.
Generally we would help you align this to ISO 31000, the standard for risk management.
After assessing the threats to information assets, the 2022 edition of the standard provides 93 possible controls to apply, within Annex A.
Four Control Categories
ISO 27001:2022 organises controls in to four core areas:
Organisational Controls
People Controls
Physical Controls
Technological Controls
Our ISO 27001 consultants are there to help you implement all the applicable controls to suit your organisation.
ISO 27002:2022 & Attributes
Annex A of the standard is derived from ISO 27002. Although compliance with this standard is not mandatory, our consultants have full knowledge of the additional guidance to ensure they can give you the most comprehensive advice and best practices.
In addition, ISO 27002 provides themes and attributes against each control, which enables better management.
Asset Management & Human Resources
Some of the controls in Annex A refer to the acceptable use of assets, classification of information and human resource processes such as screening and disciplinary policies.
We can help you define your organisation’s approach to these controls based on your existing arrangements.
Supplier Relationships
Another section of Annex A focuses on the organisation’s relationships with its suppliers, in particular those who have access to the organisation’s information.
We will help consider the risks associated with your suppliers and ensure suitable policies and procedures are in place to manage those risks.
Legal Compliance
ISO 27001 also requires consideration of legal and other requirements placed on the organisation, and this is becoming more relevant as Data Protection Laws are evolving across Europe, America and the world.
Our legal compliance audit can help you identify the legislation that’s applicable to your organisation, and measure how effectively you are meeting those obligations.
Network & Operational Controls
The organisation’s operational controls, in relation to information security, are also considered which includes Information Backup, Protection from Malware, User Logging & Monitoring.
In addition network controls including security of network services, segregation and information transfer are also considered.
Information Security Objectives & Continual Improvement
As with all management system standards, ISO 27001 looks for continual improvement of the system by setting measurable, achievable objectives which can be driven from the vulnerabilities identified in the risk assessment or more general business strategy.
External ISO 27001 Certification
Having your Information Security Management System certified by an external UKAS accredited assessment body publicly demonstrates your commitment to protecting your customers’ data and can give you a significant advantage when tendering for contracts.
We can help you choose a certification body and guide you through the process.
