Summary
The process of implementing an ISMS may appear daunting, but it is rather simple. Formally identifying and managing threats to the organization’s information is what is at the core of an ISMS. As soon as the scope is clearly specified, it’s easy to move on to the implementation process. As with any huge project, well-thought-out plans lead to a successful outcome. It is important to ensure that the documentation is fit for purpose and targeted at the intended audience. It is important to keep in mind that clauses 4-10 of the ISMS are necessary. These clauses demand that you handle requirements in each of them.
In the next chapter, we will see the incident management process of an ISMS implementation.
