Information Security Implementation

Last updated on Feb 16, 2021 2 min read

The security of information and data should be a key concern for modern businesses and organisations. There are many standards, books and articles – plenty of them free, practitioners publish their advice, you can find countless security tools and services for sale. But it can be challenging to find the answers to the key simple questions:  

  • What are the first steps I need to take in doing information security? 

  • How much does information security cost? 

  • How do I set and achieve my information security goals? 

  • How can I assure my partners or clients that we are doing something about information security? 

Why consider Information Security? 

Not bringing Information Security into the game means not only unauthorized access and information theft or accidental disclosure. It means leaving your key organizational or business assets out there exposed to a big amount and of risk. Your information likely goes through encryption tools, laptops and mobiles of your employees and partners, internal networks, routers, infrastructure, development environments, mail, chat or productivity tools…I can go on. The list of what could go wrong at any point is long and includes (not only) misuse, disclosure, modification or destruction. These unwished events require a systematic approach that becomes a part of the company’s day-to-day management. We speak of it as the Information Security Management System or ISMS. Building an ISMS in your organization or company can have these effects: 

  • Bring the managers to think and lead in a risk-calculating way 

  • Master the overview of your assets because you need to know what key assets need protection 

  • Mitigate the impact of incidents or prevent them 

  • Increase the resilience of your employees and partner organisations in the quality of your internal processes and products. 

What is the service?

We come to you with a strong background in the ISO 27001 standard and practical tools for information security. Our knowledge alone cannot be effective and we need to understand your goals and your ways to achieving them so that we help you implement ISMS quickly, easily and at an affordable price. These are the milestones we strive to meet in building an ISMS: 

  • Visualise your security weaknesses or opportunities 

  • Adopt the necessary security roles by the key people 

  • Prepare the organisation for the decisions they will have to take in security 

  • Design how security will be documented 

  • Support security culture in your organization 

  • Analyse and treat information security risks, and set-up to do it regularly 

  • Prioritise the security controls on your security plan according to the risks 

  • Devise ISMS improvement practices.
