The adoption of an information security management system (ISMS) is a strategic decision for organizations. The ‘confidentiality, integrity and availability’ of information and associated information processing facilities is crucial for any business irrespective of size. An Information Security Management System (ISMS) ensures business continuity by minimizing business damage and reducing the impact of information security incidents. This systematic framework protects the confidentiality, integrity and availability of business information, and that of its interested parties.

Why an Information Security Management System?

• Identification of information security risks and implementation of relevant controls.

• Brand reputation can be strengthened by managing information in a controlled manner.

• Customer loyalty and new customers leading to business growth.

• Fewer information security incidents leading to cost management. Data recovery can be an extremely expensive exercise.

• Business continuity due to a reduced impact of information security incidents, and more.

• Preventing or reducing undesired effects and achieving continual improvement.
