The latest version of the international Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard offers a structured method for managing sensitive information securely and keeping it confidential and accessible to authorized users.
The primary goal of ISO 27001 2022 standard is to assist organizations in establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving their information security management systems. With the guidance of this standard, we can work together to identify, analyze, and manage information security risks using a risk management approach aligned with the organization’s business objectives.
The ISO IEC 27001 2022 standard outlines various important criteria that organizations need to fulfill in order to obtain certification. These criteria focus on enhancing information security measures and can be summarized in simpler terms as follows:
Identify and evaluate risks to the organization’s information assets and implement controls to reduce these risks.
Senior management should show dedication to information security and allocate resources for the Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Develop and enforce policies and procedures to manage information security risks.
Recognize and manage information assets, including hardware, software, and data.
Ensure employees and contractors know their information security responsibilities and conduct appropriate background checks.
Safeguard information assets physically and protect them from environmental threats.
Implement controls to allow only authorized individuals to access information.
Establish a plan to handle information security incidents, including reporting and response procedures.
Continuously monitor and enhance the information security management system to ensure effectiveness and relevance.
