ISO 27001 is a widely utilized international standard for managing IT security, d<\/span>eveloped by the International Organization for Standardization<\/a><\/span>. It was formed to help organizations, of any size or any industry, protect their information in a systematic and cost-effective way. ISO 27001 achieves this through the adoption of an Information Security Management System (ISMS).<\/span><\/p>\n The ISO 27001 standard itself provides the requirements for an ISMS. The rest of the 27000 family of standards (comprised of more than a dozen standards) cover everything from auditing your security management system, to risk management, to detailed implementation guidance for a variety of security controls. Using these standards helps organizations leverage international best practices to manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted by third parties. Best of all, the standards are suitable for organizations and businesses of any kind.<\/span><\/p>\n Because it is an international standard, ISO 27001 is easily recognized all around the world. This makes the sharing of security program information with partners, suppliers, and auditors easier. It can also assist business opportunities with clients that have sensitive security requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Which security control framework do I need?” icon_color=”#f3af3c” use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#222222″ body_font_size=”1.05rem” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#222222″ toggle_level=”h3″ toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font=”PT Sans||||||||” closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n If you have a security management program that covers how you measure risk and make security decisions, which framework you use for security controls guidance is really a business decision rather than a technical decision.<\/span><\/p>\n Security control frameworks differ in which industries typically require them, how comprehensive their controls are, and how prescriptive their controls are. The one you choose should be matched to which regulations you need to be compliant with, as well as the expectations of your partners and clients or customers. You want to choose a framework that helps you meet those business needs rather than having your framework “tail\u201d wag the \u201cdog\u201d of your business objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are using ISO 27001 for your security program, it typically makes the most sense to use ISO 27002 as your control framework as they are designed to pair together.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How do I know if my security controls are working?” icon_color=”#f3af3c” use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#222222″ body_font_size=”1.05rem” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#222222″ toggle_level=”h3″ toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font=”PT Sans||||||||” closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Part of your security management program should be a process to periodically monitor your security controls for effectiveness. This forms part of the security reports that are reviewed by your security executive. These reviews and reports help them make both tactical decisions (\u201crepair this control or process\u201d) and strategic decisions (\u201cadd developing a compensating control to the roadmap in 2022\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n An external security assessment that actively tests the controls offers assurance that your internal monitoring is operating effectively. It can also provide recommendations and guidance for improvement that can help your executive team form the strategic objectives for your security program<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What do I need to prepare before hiring an information security expert?” icon_color=”#f3af3c” use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#222222″ body_font_size=”1.05rem” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#222222″ toggle_level=”h3″ toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font=”PT Sans||||||||” closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n When talking to an IT security expert that you\u2019re considering hiring, it can help to develop common ground.

This helps build a strong security program and the ability to prevent, detect and mitigate evolving threats. They can help you to reduce risk, improve compliance, attract security-conscious customers, attract high-end staff, and manage existing resources and controls better.<\/span><\/p>\n A CISO works with your executive team to implement and operate your security program. They align strategic security objectives to business needs, develop a roadmap and support internal audits of program effectiveness. They communicate clearly with your senior management and provide security leadership to help your CIO and CFO understand the strategy and roadmap.<\/span><\/p>\n One way for smaller organizations to get the benefits of a CISO in a cost-effective manner is to use a CISO-as-a-Service. This provides the skills for companies that do not need a full-time CISO or wish to share with a group of related organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What makes for a great CISO service?” icon_color=”#f3af3c” use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#222222″ body_font_size=”1.05rem” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#222222″ toggle_level=”h3″ toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font=”PT Sans||||||||” closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n SeekingFire Consulting Inc. sees the following traits as being of top importance:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How do I use a CISO effectively?” icon_color=”#f3af3c” use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#222222″ body_font_size=”1.05rem” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#222222″ toggle_level=”h3″ toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font=”PT Sans||||||||” closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n A CISO service function is most successful when it is used effectively. <\/span><\/p>\n The CISO service, working directly with your senior management, fulfils a leadership role for information security. It is responsible for liaising with key stakeholders (senior management, key stakeholders and clients, regulators etc.), establishing security policy and direction, performing internal audits on the implementation of security controls, and most importantly for coordinating the governance of sound security decisions based on plans, internal measurements, and future objectives. The CISO service is accountable for ensuring that information-related risk is well understood and well managed to achieve the desired objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n It is important to understand that the CISO service does not directly perform operational security roles<\/strong> but instead ensures that their needs are analyzed and brought to the attention of your executive team. Similarly, the resulting progress towards pre-determined objectives should be measured and reported accordingly. When necessary, security gaps are analyzed and appropriate recommendations are made. This approach also ensures arms-reach during audits and planning activities.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Where should I start?” icon_color=”#f3af3c” use_icon_font_size=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_color=”#222222″ body_font_size=”1.05rem” background_enable_color=”off” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#222222″ toggle_level=”h3″ toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font=”PT Sans||||||||” closed_toggle_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/li>\n Didn\u2019t see the data security answer or topic you were looking for?
