Safety measures via an ISMS
An information security management system (ISMS) is a structured approach that helps organizations protect their information assets against various threats. The purpose of an ISMS is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information through continuous processes and activities.
An ISMS thus implements the necessary security measures in the organization, consisting of information security policies, procedures and guidelines, including associated resources and activities. This is managed by the business, which is responsible for establishing, implementing, operationalizing, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and continuously improving the business's information security in order to meet its business objectives.
The management system can be based on several recognized frameworks and standards such as:
The management system describes, among other things, what the company must do to ensure that the business complies with regulatory requirements, contractual obligations and its own risk acceptance. The scope of the management system is thus determined by the company's context, what the company does and what threats it faces.
By working actively with the risks and opportunities the business faces, you can make safe choices, establish appropriate security measures and guidelines both internally and towards subcontractors. The management system is a systematic approach to identifying necessary measures.
