4A Basic Introduction to ISO 27001
- Information security is a global issue affecting
international trading, mobile communications,
social media, and the various systems and
services that make our digital world and national
infrastructures. Managing information security is
an even more crucial issue, as it includes using
and managing the policies, procedures, processes,
control measures, and supporting applications,
services, and technologies that are needed to be
protected. Information security management needs
to be effective, suitable, and appropriate if it
is to protect information from the risks that
businesses and society face in this digital age.
Information could be disclosed and accessible to
unauthorized users, corrupted or modified either
in some unauthorized or accidental way or lost or
unavailable due to a system failure. An
organization requires to assess its risks in
terms of the potential impact that a security
incident might have on its business and the
likelihood of this security incident occurring.
It needs to adopt an approach to risk assessment
that is effective, suitable, and appropriate to
its business, and this approach is known as ISO
implementation.
5What is ISO?
- The International Standards Organization (ISO) is
a non-governmental organization that holds a
unique position between the public and private
sectors. Its members include national standards
organizations who often are a part of government
structures in their countries or mandated by
these governments. The role of ISO is to
facilitate the international coordination and the
standardization of industrial standards. To reach
these objectives, ISO publishes technical
standards. These standards contribute to the
development, manufacturing, and delivery of
products and services that are more effective,
safer, and clearer. They facilitate fair trade
between countries. In addition, they bring a
technical foundation for health, security, and
environmental legislation to governments and
they help to transfer technologies to developing
countries. ISO standards are also used to protect
consumers and general users of products and
services. - What is ISO 27001?
- ISO 27001 is the international standard that
provides the specification for an Information
Security Management System (ISMS). This
systematic approach consists of people,
processes, and technology that helps you protect
and manage all your organizations information
through risk management. It is a set of normative
requirements for establishing, implementing,
operating, monitoring, and reviewing to update
and develop an Information Security Management
System (ISMS). ISO 27001 is also used for
selecting security controls tailored to each
organizations needs based on industry best
practices.
