What is an ISMS?
An ISMS (Information Security Management System) under the ISO 27001 framework is a structured system that helps an organization implement measures to secure sensitive data, monitor controls, and protect data from vulnerabilities and threats.
The main goal of having an ISMS is to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and data availability while continually improving information security practices and strategies.
An ISMS sets the foundation for strengthening internal security by defining protocols to reduce intrusions, scale security measures as needed, and minimize the impact of potential breaches. It enables businesses to anticipate future risks, develop strategies to address internal or external threats, and adapt to an evolving security and threat landscape.
