Creating Security Standards and Procedures
By Arturo Navarro
Creating Security Standards and Procedures
In the realm of security management, I have embraced a methodical approach grounded in the ISO 27001 framework’s principles and guidelines. This global standard outlines a systematic process for the establishment, implementation, continual improvement, and maintenance of an information security management system (ISMS). Our commitment to this framework ensures the effective customization and application of security controls, achieving a superior level of information security management.
ISO 27001 Framework Adoption
The ISO 27001 framework is the foundation of our security management endeavors, steering us in:
- Risk Assessment and Treatment: Detecting security risks to our information assets and applying suitable controls to mitigate these risks.
- Security Policy Development: Formulating explicit and thorough security policies to guide information security in sync with our business goals.
- Organizing Information Security: Creating a solid governance structure for efficient oversight and management of information security.
- Asset Management: Guaranteeing that assets receive proper classification, inventory, and protection based on their significance to the organization.
- Human Resource Security: Instituting security controls before, during, and after employment to address the human aspect of information security.
- Physical and Environmental Security: Safeguarding physical assets and environments from unauthorized access, damage, and interference.
- Communications and Operations Management: Overseeing technical security controls within systems and networks for secure operations.
- Access Control: Limiting access to information and information processing facilities to authorized personnel only.
- Information Systems Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance: Embedding security throughout the lifecycle of information systems.
- Information Security Incident Management: Equipping for and addressing information security incidents to minimize their impact.
- Business Continuity Management: Ensuring the protection, sustained operation, and recovery of business-critical processes and systems.
- Compliance: Complying with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations related to information security.
Maintaining Customer Trust
By synchronizing our security management practices with the ISO 27001 framework, we not only shield our assets against a broad spectrum of information security threats but also uphold and bolster customer confidence. This allegiance to stringent security standards and procedures underscores our commitment to the safeguarding of sensitive information, solidifying our reputation as a trustworthy and secure entity.
