ISO 27001 standard will help the organisation in systematically examine the entire infrastructure by providing information security to each and every department. Factors that are been considered in order to take the implementation of information security management system in the organisation are considering the threats that are playing a major role in the organisation. any data leakage in the organisation is considered as one of the vulnerabilities and may impact the organisation in a dangerous way. By making sure the information security is well examined and updated according to the standard requirement will assist the organisation every year.

Why ISO 27001 certification is important?

The design and implementation of controls that comes along with the implementation of ISO 27001 standard will address risk treatment. Information security must be controlled at all point of time in the organisation in order to establish risk free environment for both the management and employees to work in healthy environment. ISO 27001 standard establishes a strong management process to ensure the information security and the controls in places. Information security management system is not only concerned with the IT department but also for the entire organisation. any data that belongs to the clients of the organisation or the database of the employees from the organisation holds a greater value unless until it is addressed with the threat from outside. Establishment of information security management system will design the security system within the organisation to ensure these kinds of threats are dealt with appropriate measures.

What are the benefits of implementation of ISO 27001?

• ISO 27001 standard also consists of scopes which has a purpose of establishing a stronger management system regardless of the company is an MNC or a start-up business.

What is information security risk assessment in an organisation?

The process of identifying the hazards or the threats or the vulnerabilities that are faced by the organisation, is generally defined as the assessment that are provided in order to completely eradicate these risks from the management system.

Considering all these vulnerabilities and the threads the analysis must be done in a way where a list of information asset must be created in order to find out the existence of the threat. By evaluating the identified threats, the organisation can easily analyse how to assign and how to limit the damages that are caused over the list of assets.
