What is an Information Security Management System (ISMS)?

An information security management system is a systematic approach to managing sensitive information of a company in order to make it secure. It is helpful for all organizations irrespective of their size, in keeping information assets secure.

The six-part planning process of ISO 27001 is as follows:

  • Define a security policy
  • Define the scope of ISMS
  • Conduct a risk assessment
  • Manage identified risks
  • Select control objectives & controls to be implemented
  • Prepare a statement of applicability
