ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a standard designed to ensure that adequate and proportional security controls are selected. This system requires institutions to prepare risk management and risk treatment plans, duties and responsibilities, business continuity plans, emergency incident management procedures and keep records of these in practice. The institution should publish an information security policy that includes all these activities and should raise awareness of its personnel about information security and threats. Information security management, as a living process in which the selected control objectives are measured and the suitability and performance of the controls are constantly monitored, can only be achieved with the active support of the management and the participation of the personnel.
The Information Security Management System helps you protect your information assets and give confidence to the relevant parties, especially your customers. This standard takes a process approach to create, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and improve your Information Security Management System.
