The indispensable importance of ISO 27001 is not unknown to companies that prioritise information safety and security. The certification holds the global standard for information safety management systems. The stringent program offered by ISO 27001 is capable of protecting companies from intellectual data hazards. In terms of information security, the ISO system helps organisations in safeguarding their financial data, records on employee performance, and documents on resource use. All these are subject to third-party manipulations. Besides, there is the potential chance of cyber attacks.

What are the key phases of ISO 27001 implementation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Phase 1 – Settlement of business objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first phase of the requirement is establishing business objectives. To identify the business objectives, a company can take an impression from its mission, vision, and strategic plans. The primary objectives can be –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Customer assurance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Stakeholder assurance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Increasing marketing potential<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 100% compliance with the industry regulations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Effectively conducting a risk assessment for intellectual assets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Increase in profit margin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Establishing effective protection measures for preserving brand reputation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 2 – Management support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a successful implementation, strong commitment and a sense of accountability are required from the management. The management personnel should be responsible enough for planning strategies, implementing the system, operating and monitoring the outcome, and finally making improvements according to the identified problems. The management team should streamline the following –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Establishing objectives, policies, and plans<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Communicating all the plans to the employees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Determining an acceptable level of risks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Audit, monitor, and reviews<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Providing training from time to time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Appointing the right people for accomplishing certain objectives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 3 – Proper scope of Implementation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The scope of a proper implementation should be documented. While determining the scope of implementation, every company should –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Select a scope that would support the fundamental business objectives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Determine the complexity level of the process for compliance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Review the scale of operations – number of employees, work locations, operational procedures, and customer services<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Checking whether the suppliers will adhere to the rules of the information security system or not<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Determining which areas or assets will be controlled by the system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Identifying the regulatory and government rules and laws, which will affect the implementation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 4 – Strategy for risk assessment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A correct course of action should be designed and applied for risk assessment. The assessment should be holistic including –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Identify potential threats associated with intellectual properties<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Managing all the residual risks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Categorising tolerable and intolerable risks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 To choose the right risk assessment method, your company can choose any of the following –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Sarbanes-Oxley IT risk assessment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Asset clarification document<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 5 -Preparation of an inventory of intellectual assets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There should always be a contingency plan for inventory. An inventory of information associated with the financial and human resource allocation should be devised. It will help to protect the intellectual assets according to the risk assessment done in the previous phase. To successfully prepare the inventory –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The information assets should be identified according to their risk impact levels (high, medium, or low)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 After the risk identification, assign the correct amount of values to the risks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 After that, companies should identify the intolerable risks and assign control measures accordingly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 6 – Risk management plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Strict risk management and mitigation plan should be devised when the company has successfully prepared an information inventory and assessed the risks based on their occurrences. A thorough gap analysis followed by acceptable risk treatment, identification of operations controls, and proposal for implementing the control devices should be conducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 7 – Risk control policies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Setting up the risk control policies and documenting them in a systematic manner is required in this phase. The management should take responsibility for documenting the policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 8 – Resource allocation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The next phase is finding the right human resource and giving them the right amount of training after acquiring and allocating the proper resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 10 – Period Reassessment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A follow-up review should be done in the name of readiness review after a successful implementation to ensure that every requirement of the standard has been met. It is the final step before the accreditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
