ISO 27001:2005 (BS 7799) Information Security Management System
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information in order to protect it. It encompasses employees, processes and information systems.
ISO/IEC 27001 requires that management:
Systematically examines the organization's information security risks, taking account of the threats, vulnerabilities and impacts;
Designs and implements a coherent and comprehensive suite of information security controls and/or other forms of risk treatment (such as risk avoidance or risk transfer) to address those risks that it deems unacceptable; and
Adopts an overarching management process to ensure that the information security controls continue to meet the organization's information security needs on an ongoing basis
The standard defines its 'process approach' as "The application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification and interactions of these processes, and their management". It employs the PDCA, Plan-Do-Check-Act model to structure the processes
The objective of the standard itself is to "Provide a model for Establishing, Implementing, Operating, Monitoring, Reviewing, Maintaining, and Improving an Information Security Management System".
The ISO/IEC 27001 certification, like other ISO management system certifications, usually involves a three-stage audit process:
Stage 1 is a preliminary, informal review of the ISMS, for example checking the existence and completeness of key documentation such as the organization's information security policy, Statement of Applicability (SoA) and Risk Treatment Plan (RTP).
Stage 2 is a more detailed and formal compliance audit, independently testing the ISMS against the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 27001. The auditors will seek evidence to confirm that the management system has been properly designed and implemented, and is in fact in operation (for example by confirming that a security committee or similar management body meets regularly to oversee the ISMS).
Stage 3 involves follow-up reviews or audits to confirm that the organization remains in compliance with the standard. Certification maintenance requires periodic re-assessment audits to confirm that the ISMS continues to operate as specified and intended.
