Approach
The approach to securing an organisations assets, reputation, finances and other key factors can be daunting. A robust Security implementation may involve many controls some of which may be;
- Access control and physical security
- Environmental
- Power
- Network
- Fire detection and suppression
- Secure transmission and sessions
- Network protection
- Disaster Recovery
- Backups
- Internal and Third-party testing and assessments
- Security Monitoring
Implementation
The implementation follows a defined six part 'process', roughly as follows:
- Define a security policy
- Define the scope of the ISMS
- Undertake a risk assessment
- Manage the risk
- Select control objectives and controls to be implemented
- Prepare a statement of applicability
ISO 27001
The content sections of the standard are:
- Management Responsibility
- Internal Audits
- ISMS Improvement
- Annex A - Control objectives and controls
- Annex B - OECD principles and this international standard
- Annex C - Correspondence between ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and this standard
Confidentiality
Confidentiality prevents the disclosure of information to unauthorized individuals or systems. Confidentiality is necessary for ensuring the privacy of the people whose personal information is held in the system.
Integrity
Data integrity processes maintain and assure the accuracy and consistency of data.
Availability
Information must be available where and when it is needed (24X7 – 8X5, weekends, etc.).
Authenticity
Authenticity ensures that the data, transactions, communications or documents (electronic or physical) are genuine. It is also important to validate that both parties involved are who they claim to be.
Non-repudiation
Non-repudiation ensures that either party of a transaction cannot deny having sent and /or received a transaction.
ISO Implementation and / or Training
We can assist in your plans to implement an appropriate Information Security Management System (ISMS). We have undertaken implementation projects with many organisations and can bring a comprehensive understanding of how to develop an effective and efficient Security framework based upon the ISO 27001:2013 Standard. In addition we can facilitate training of key personnel in the following;
