Information Security Management System
For any business houses in today’s digital world, information assets are very much critical. Organizations now are highly dependent on information and communications technology. Successful businesses should have right information at the right time in order to make well-informed decisions. Interconnectivity leads to information being exposed to growing number and wider variety of threats and vulnerabilities. So, every information whether paper-based or on a computer, is at risk. Thus, protection of information becomes a major challenge for every organization.
Information Security Management System is thus used for the protection of information. ISMS provides a framework to establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and improve the information security within an organization. It is an organizational approach to information security. ISMS is a documented system certifying that:
o Information assets in your company are described and secured,
o Information security risks are managed and mitigated,
o Security policies together with their ownerships and guarantees are in place,
o Adherence to security measures is inspected periodically.
ISMS can be implemented as a specific information system that deals with a particular business area, or it can be implemented as an all-encompassing system involving the whole organization.In any case, ISMS usually involves resources spanning from the management to the regular employees.
How ISMS helps : -
o If information is the key asset that is needed in your business then ISMS helps to protect your business case,
o ISMS delivered via ISO standards is compatible with others in the market,
o Company management is always involved in the security and always has access to information,
o Your partners view you as more reliable, credible, and trustworthy,
o ISMS certification opens doors to new business (for example better competitive position in the EU market),
o Information and data sources are utilized more efficiently,
o ISMS makes your investments into information security more efficient,
o ISMS brings the importance of information security to your employees and makes them more involved in your business,
o ISMS changes the culture in your company (brings responsibility and accountability).
ISMS employs PDCA model for implementation. It is the process of “ PLAN-DO-CHECK –ACT”.
Information security protects information from a wide range of threats in order to ensure business continuity, minimize business damage, and maximize return on investment and business opportunities.
