Information Security Management
An Information Security Management is a systematic approach to managing sensitive information so that it remains secure. It includes people, processes and systems by applying a risk management process. It can help small, medium and large businesses in any kind of industries keep information assets secure. This system helps to prevent and counteract interruptions to services offered by the organization. It protects the organization from the effects of information security incidents and disasters occurring in the Information processing systems to ensure continued secure operations.
Why ISMS?
By implementing ISMS an organization ensures it has a model for establishing, implementing, operating, reviewing, maintaining and improving the security of the information including those of the customer, held by the organization. ISMS looks at the organizations Information Assets through a Risk Assessment process. The process looks at the likelihood of an attack or failure, the impact that such attacks or failures would have on the organization and the type of appropriate controls required to protect the assets. ISMS improves the organization’s reliability and security.
Stages involved in Information Security Management
The ISO/IEC 27001 defines requirements for a risk-based Information Security Management System (ISMS) and provides a framework to implement the essentials guidelines by using a “Plan-Do-Check-Act” (PDCA) process model.

How will it help you?
During a disruption, an organization must determine its severity, potential impacts, and then communicate with employees, contract workers, customers, vendors, management and other key stakeholders. Emergency notification systems relay corporate communications in real time, through phone messages, texts, emails and mobile applications. Organizations of any size should have an effective communications plan during emergencies. It is especially vital if the organization and its stakeholders are spread over multiple geographical locations.
