ISO IEC 27000:2014 pdf free.Information technology – Security techniques
Organizations need to identify and manage many activities in order to function effectively and efficiently. Any activity using resources needs to be managed to enable the transformation of inputs into outputs using a set of interrelated or interacting activities – this is also known as a process. The output from one process can directly form the input to another process and generally this transformation is carried out under planned and controlled conditions. The application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification and interactions of these processes, and their management,can be referred to as a “process approach”.
Risks associated with an organization’s information assets need to be addressed. Achieving information security requires the management of risk, and encompasses risks from physical, human and technology related threats associated with all forms of information within or used by the organization.
The adoption of an ISMS is expected to be a strategic decision for an organization and it is necessary that this decision is seamlesly integrated, scaled and updated in accordance with the needs of the organization.
The design and implementation of an organization’s ISMS is influenced by the needs and objectives of the organization, security requirements, the business processes employed and the size and structure of the organization. The design and operation of an ISMS needs to reflect the interests and information security requirements of all of the organization’s stakeholders including customers, suppliers, business partners, shareholders and other relevant third parties.
In an interconnected world, information and related processes, systems, and networks constitute critical business assets. Organizations and their information systems and networks face security threats from a wide range of sources, including computer-assisted fraud, espionage, sabotage, vandalism, fire and flood. Damage to information systems and networks caused by malicious code, computer hacking, and denial of service attacks have become more common, more ambitious, and increasingly sophisticated.
An ISMS is important to both public and private sector businesses. In any industry, an ISMS is an enabler that supports e-business and is essential for risk management activities. The interconnection of public and private networks and the sharing of information assets increases the difficulty of controlling access to and handling of information. In addition, the distribution of mobile storage devices containing information assets can weaken the effectiveness of traditional controls. When organizations adopt the ISMS family of standards the ability to apply consistent and mutually-recognizable information security principles can be demonstrated to business partners and other interested parties.ISO IEC 27000 pdf download.
