Information Security Management System (ISMS) ISO 27001/ISO 27000/ISO 27002/ISO 27003/ ISO 27004/ ISO 27005

Why isms?

If you are concerned about protection of assets especially information assets, ISMS provides a control framework to protect the (information) assets. This combines management controls (such as ISMS framework, ISMS policy), technical controls (malware management, access controls, network perimeter, encryption), procedural controls (e.g. document management), personnel controls (e.g. background screening) to name a few. The controls combine preventive, detective, restorative, maintenance and monitoring controls.

What is the approach for successful certification?

There are primarily four phases, and in each phase there can be several sub-phases:

Phase I – Detailed risk assessment/Gap analysis
resulting in identification of gaps;

Phase II – Implementation/measurement journey
through definition of policy/procedure/documentation on one hand and the implementation of the gaps on the other;

Phase III – Internal Audit
is the process of verifying successful implementation, on one hand, and the inclusion of security principle in business lifecycle on the other.

Phase IV – Registration body certification
This is two stages Stage
1 – documentation, and Stage
2 – implementation verification.

Total duration of each milestone can vary depending upon the complexity of the scope. Talk or write to us at roadmap@coralesecure.com to know how we can take you through a successful journey.
