Module 1: Introduction to Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) - PART 1
Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) are a set of policies, processes, and procedures that organizations use to manage, monitor, audit, and improve their information security practices. An ISMS helps businesses protect their sensitive information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. It also ensures that information security risks are managed effectively and in line with the organization's overall goals.
Implementing an ISMS based on the ISO 27001:2022 standard provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information, ensuring it remains secure. The standard covers various aspects of information security, including risk assessment, risk treatment, asset management, access control, cryptography, physical security, and more. By following the guidelines outlined in ISO 27001:2022, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to data protection and gain a competitive edge in the market.
